MS R64
WCT 1-3 M. Yoshimura
LSS 3-1 LGY
Not an upset despite the ranking difference.
Absurdly small sample size?

LSS 5 H2H 5 LGY
WS R64
Fu Yu 2-3 CSY
Kihara 1-3 CIC
Pavade 3-2 DHK
G5 107, 1010, 1210
Acceptable with a strained thigh from WTTC 2024.
WD R32
A. Mukherjee/S. Mukherjee 1-0 -> 1-2 -> 3-2 Hirano/Harimoto
While I still think this pair doesn't work, Harimoto is a much-faster learner/much-less stubborn player than Ishikawa.
Harimoto was quite hesitant in G1 and there were multiple points in which she didn't know what return to...
Instead of IT and ticketing, it's highly likely all the money has gone into the barriers, in order "to defend" the freedom of expression. :sneaky:

WS R64
Li Yu-Jhun 1-0 -> 1-3 Chien Tung-Chuan
Li's body language after dropping G3 says it all. Similar to the match against LHC at the WTTC 2024. Not gonna cut it at Paris 2024.
Could be hackers from its Southeast Asian neighbors...;)

Ito must have gotten much more hours of sleep after the selection race. The pips are gone from her face and the complexion looks like inverted.

Singapore Smash 2024
Hayata 0-3 Hirano
The second BH from Hirano is not easy to pull off.

According to JTTA, only the Olympic players are sent by the national team:
Harimoto/Togami/Shinozuki
Hayata/Harimoto/Hirano
The others are going at their own expense, which means their respective affiliation teams have a say. And Hirano, Harimoto, Kihara and...
Well, I'm more shocked by the fact that the barrier (metal?) held up well. That was a loud, goal kick. Way stronger than that pointed kick from Lind at ETTC 2023.
ZJK: Give back my US$45,000!
They held a meeting on that after WTTC 2024. Xu Shaofa even wrote them a letter.

Is it:
A. Hayata's poor body condition?
