WS F An Seyoung (1) 2-0 He Bingjiao (6) (13, 16) Won the BWC 2023 (1st-ever for KOR) and now the Paris 2024 (2nd-ever) with a broken knee.

Even if Hayata were healthy, Watanabe would likely have fielded Harimoto in two singles to get her up to speed to the playing conditions of the main hall. Given that, Kihara will be benched unless Hayata's condition worsens.

MS F Moregard (19) 1-4 FZD (2) (7, -9, -9, -8, -7) Still need more hard work. HKG player Lam Yee Lok says FZD started getting used to Moregard after G2 and hit with less pace in subsequent games to counter-disrupt Moregard's game. Congratulations to: Gold medalist: FZD Silver medalist...

MS Bronze Medal Match Calderano (4) 0-4 F. Lebrun (3) (-6, -10, -7, -6) Former head coach of HKTTA Chan Kong Wah says Felix is a prodigy, that he could reach higher if he gets a Chinese coach and a personal trainer to get him started on weight training (assuming he hasn't started on that yet)...

The PRK debuff is real. Not even SYS can overcome it. Harimoto: I'm incredible, right?

Semi-related. Axelsen reaches the MS F without dropping a set. Badminton MS SF Viktor Axelsen 2-0 Lakshya Sen Axelsen after the win: You want this racket? Here, have it (proceeds to toss it into the audience)!

Seeing that LXX prepared 2 rackets ahead of time at Rio 2016 and picked the one that felt better, the same should be true for WCQ. There is little doubt the broken blade had a negative effect on his mental state, even if he brushed it away in the post-match interview. But even if the incident...

WMY: No one knows how to beat CM better than I do.

The good side here is that it proves LGL didn't break his promise to that Weibo user about not fixing the match between WH and ZJK at London 2012.

The Bilibili/Tieba user is back for another epic fail at Paris 2024. 我本来想这次奥运会一战三金，但后来放弃了 (I was planning to win three gold medals in this Olympics on the first try, but gave up subsequently) https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aLv4e3EN8/ 我原来想这次奥运会连拿三金，但后来放弃了 (I was planning to take three gold...

Seeing what the fangirls are capable of, the CNT coaching group has reasons to fear.

CM handled the interviews much better this time around. If only she didn't say what she did the last time, she probably would've completed her Grand Slam.

Folks wonder why CM's gold is not well-received by the CNT. I'm referencing athletes from other sports whose achievements are equally if not more momentous yet still remain humble. BTW, Vivian Kong just announced her retirement from fencing a few hours ago. Let's turn to tennis, where Zheng...

More on CNT's reactions after CM 4-2 SYS. For comparison, Edgar Cheung Ka Long of HKG becomes the first fencer in 68 years and only the third in history to defend his Olympic foil gold. In the press conference upon his return, he puts the achievements of the fencing team in getting...

Hayata's interview with TVB. Turn on sub and auto-translate. [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VXN0UgVsSo[/url]

Once again, convince those in Taiwan first. Some of them are prominent table tennis figures there. My comments have been mild in comparison. East Asian is the most competitive region in the world of table tennis for a reason. It is not treated as a pastime like in the US of A.

Many Tieba users believe that the World Cup was restarted in preparation for SYS to get the Grand Slam. SYS became the heroine in 2018/2019 when she blocked Hirano in WS/XT at Buenos Aires 2018 and Ito in WS at WTTC 2019, Team World Cup 2019 and again in WS at Tokyo 2020. OTOH, CM was viewed...

Look who wants Hayata to retire more here. That's needless to say. The more reason why I keep saying she has to play smarter. At this rate, she will have 2 to 3 more years to challenge China.

According to reports, Hayata took two shots (SF and bronze medal match). She also says that "getting bronze under this condition is more valuable than getting gold". History-making CM: T_T
