Winter 1-3 CY (10) (-13, -7, -13, 11, )
G5 18, 38, 39, 69, 611
For most of G5, CY highlighted the weakness of anti once she got used to it. As long as Winter couldn't use the anti to set up the FH winner, she's bound to miss sooner or later, much like Ito.
They don't have to succumb if they don't want it. They (FZD and WCT in this case) are on government payroll so the general public has the right to have a say in how the tax money is used.
IIRC, Yan An revealed in a recent live stream that CNT players get to keep all WTT prize money now unlike...

WCT/Baldwin 3-2 Harimoto/Shinozuka (-10, 6, 1, -6, 7)
Shinozuka: What have I done to deserve this, Harimoto-san?

SYS 4-1 Ito (7, 1, -10, 3, 4)
SYS: Your award for getting me to play 1 more game.
I already foresaw the fandom culture back at the start of the T2 APAC in 2018.
Zhou Dao, WTT China Media Director, said at a Peking University seminar that WTT is supporting the livelihood of a group of 代拍. That's the direction they want table tennis to go. WTT is the here to stay. Like...
If the West was left in ruins, then East Asia and South East Asia were a living hell, from the Western colonial era to the 大東亜共栄圏 that lasted close to 300 years.
It's not about good or bad. The point Nakira was trying to make is about whether public opinion has a bearing on the players. The answer is clear in FZD's response.
I've touched on this in the past. Folks in the West have had lives way too easy for the last 80 years. Many of you are, in...
HY has acknowledged Hashimoto as better than her in a recent live stream.

The patent suggests that the sponge will be 36°.

Right. To make it clear, Butterfly Japan stated in the original X post (last 1 of the 3 teasers) "「ザイア03」 詳細は8月下旬に公開" ("Zyre-03", details to be publicized in the latter half of August), along with an image of a package Zyre-03 with a caption in the center that reads "8月下旬 情報公開" (Latter half of...
You don't say. They really do. FZD said fandom was a major reason he left the scene. WYD was forcibly removed from the race for Paris 2024 after constant public outcries.
Many JNT players actually keep track of online discussion about them.
I actually made the folks fix WCT's weakness...
SXN's latest live stream on German MT. Maybe there is a logical reason they don't trust Franziska.

Now you are comparing apples and oranges.
Like Hashimoto said in a recent interview, choppers become stronger the older they get. Shan Xiaona, who suffered a first round exit/R64, said she was never the choice for Paris 2024 if Han Ying didn't injure herself and couldn't recover in time...
CXT is not going to LA28 and Winter at nearly 36 years of age will have to convince the DTTB bigshots that she is the better choice over her younger teammates. She is up against a "systemic discrimination" that is based on logic, not sentiment.
It shows the CNT has been "profiling" Hashimoto. Will only get harder for Hashimoto but it also creates a good distraction for the other JNT women. Whether they could take advantage of depends how willing they are to cooperate as a team, which I think is at the lowest point in recent times.
I don't know about that. The men's side has always been more competitive.
Honestly, you seriously need to count all the major WTT titles (GS, CF and CS) China has won since its inception in 2021 before saying that. So far, non-CNT players have only won 4 CS titles, 2 for Harimoto, 1 for LYJ...
