Please. As Takkyu_wa_inochi noted, "even if they replaced any 2 players with Kihara and Ito Nagasaki, Sato or whoever they'd still get this silver medal." And for WS, Kihara has gotten 2 games off of CM (WS finalist) at WTTC 2023, so her odds are not as poor as you may think. And on Hayata...

Oh, please. I complained loud and clear at Singapore Smash 2024. Hirano kept running into Hayata and Ito throughout this Olympic cycle, mostly in R16 (look up the sorry-ass points). Note that Hayata and Ito have never defeated the other two in succession either domestically or...

For WTT's sake, go look up their participation for once. Harimoto and Togami played WTT SCT and CT Doha 2024. Harimoto even told the press that he and Togami played both to grab WR points ONLY and thought it was a good decision. Matsushima, M. Yoshimura, Uda and Shinozuka played WTT SCT Doha...

Talk to the hand. Harimoto, Ito, and Ishikawa have all openly complained at the start and throughout the selection race. Ito Jota has complained multiple times in his column on Yahoo Japan. Even coaches and former CNT players like Yang Yuhua has expressed concerns. Baba has actually softened...

Thicker than advertised? Congratulations! You got more than you paid for there. Take the bad with the good and call it a day. Or just get the real shit.

Withdrawing on 5/13? The entry deadline for 2024 has been changed to 5 weeks (4/30 in this case) ahead instead of 4 (5/7). Self-inflicted. https://sports.ltn.com.tw/news/breakingnews/4701933

You were the one suggesting the improbable scenario and now you're telling me to read what I just wrote? Stop wasting my time. Remember how PDR used to work for once. Before the change starting in 2023, PDR worked in ascending order (higher ranked players had priority). Though before that...

Read and UNDERSTAND the rules for once. Free withdrawals do not apply to late withdrawals. And has it ever crossed your mind the possibility that he's withdrawn more than twice this year? That's why I don't answer your asinine questions anymore...

Well, 楊玉華/Yang Yuhua has warned about it. 伝説の男・楊玉華、パリ五輪代表選考を語る。「選手は監督が選ぶべきだと思います」 https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/65644 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ittf-mixed-team-world-cup-2023-chengdu-12-4-10.31810/post-434816

Argh, not this again. Hayata maintained her WR because she started racking up points right after Tokyo 2020, way ahead of everyone else. By the time Lion Cup, the first trial, came around, she was already ranked 6th, just after Ito who was in 3rd thanks to the 700pts from her Olympic bronze...

Now you gotta wonder on what basis did WTT give the WTT Nomination to Jha for WTT CS Chongqing 2024? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/kanak-jha-sighting.33266/post-460574 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/us-of-smash-coming-in-2024.34068/post-461410

An article on Shinopi, in which he briefly went over his win with Togami over Lebrun brothers at Saudis Smash 2024 and said that he had his sights set on LA 2028 but improved more than he expected. 愛知工業大・篠塚大登　パリオリンピックで鍵を握る、恥ずかしがり屋で熱い「しのぴ」 https://4years.asahi.com/article/15296876 "Breaking out...

Still not getting it and still in denial. Past selection systems used to end right before the Olympic year, with the 3rd member announced early the following year. With the revamped selection system, the time that should've been spent on training is now being used to play tournaments in a...

Just ran into this piece by Nikkei on WTTC 2024. An example usage of the term "扛住". 日本女乒離戰勝中國僅一步之遙 https://zh.cn.nikkei.com/politicsaeconomy/politicsasociety/54917-2024-02-26-10-32-36.html 日本女乒打破中國輕鬆奪冠常態，隊員説出原因...

Before I forget. CNT has started the month-long closed training in Chengdu between 6/9-28. Another closed training will be held in Paris between 7/5-22. Training partners include Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong, Zhou Qihao, Zhao Zihao, Liu Dingshuo, Yu Ziyang, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, He Zhuojia...

Before I forget. JTTA has come up with a "Promotion Project" in preparation for a potential decrease of registered players, which has yet to recover (~55,000 less). 協会理事会でWTTでの個人ウエア着用が承認。また登録人口減少に備え、「普及対策プロジェクト」を発足予定 https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/185458...

Fixpoint's graph was for nothing. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2024_24_SEN_WS.html 5 Hayata, N/A 8 Harimoto, 6/25, -400+140=-260, -260/2185=-11.9% 9 Hirano, 7/2, -400+45=-355, -355/1628=-21.8% 11 Ito, 7/9, -210+70=-140, -140/1600=-8.75% 19 Kihara, 7/9, -105-70+45+20=-110...

4 of the 5 core JNT players (6 of the top 7) experiencing a substantial decrease in WR points a little over 1 month from Paris 2024 is the last straw that the revamped selection system has been maimed beyond recognition for the sake of fairness. Kudos to Hirano for getting back up under this...

Get 2 T05. It still holds its own against the new ESN rubbers and should be about the same price as or a bit cheaper than the other two and you can still resell it if you don't like it.
