Not expecting much from 白髪/White Hair, Watanabe's nickname coined by 5ch users. The running gag among 5ch users is that he is just tagging along as a tourist. When it comes to authority, he is likely in the same boat as Tasei after Miki House dispute over WTTC 2015. Murakami is the last head...

What a world of difference not having Tasei tag along makes.

Just ran into an article by sports writer TAKAGI Mini a week after Zennoh Cup Tokyo, which I missed again, where Harimoto mentions he noticed Togami's form had been off since WTT SCT Ljubjana 2023 at the start of July, even though Togami reached the QF after 3-1 LSS, 3-2 Harimoto, 3-2 Gacina...

Can't believe it took him this long to make the switch. I guess he's really stubborn as Mizutani suggested.

For future reference, below is the list for Rio 2016. Fukuhara Ai: He Zhuojia Ito Mima: Zhang Rui, Mu Zi Ishikawa Kasumi: Gu Yuting, Wen Jia Feng Tianwei: Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong Yu Mengyu: Che Xiaoxi, Ren Hao (male) Zhou Yihan: Guo Yan (not that Guo Yan), Fan Siqi Han Ying: Wu Yang, Liu...

Table tennis has a long history as a political tool. The backstory of Boros is no different here - she needed a place to stay and Croatia needed someone to gain international recognition. It's similar to how China started, where Rong Guotuan refused to play for British Hong Kong and chose to...

On the issue of human rights, here is a New York Times article from 1978 that has aged well. [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJz2yTMGqXk[/url]

I think the contention here is the term 模仿/imitation, which is more traditionally known as 陪練/sparring partners, and the moral issues that come with it, which is way overblown. The role of sparring partner has been a grand tradition of the CNT since ancient times. Below are two articles from a...

When it comes to how former CNT players feel about the system, Li Ching is a great example as he talked about it after helping the HKG women's team get the WT bronze at Tokyo 2020. The host asked if he had any slumps in his career, specifically when he couldn't make the team to represent China...

Bumping this up because of WTT CS Frankfurt and WTT CT Taiyuan, from which it can be been no one cared about beating (or losing to if you will) Togami (not just Harimoto)... LOL I've been following the news and there is no news on WCT losing to Togami at WTT SCT Lanzhou. So no stakes at all...

Oh, remember the mess (or dilemma over Kallberg/Moregard/Karlsson?) Sweden (or Jorgen Persson?) was in back at Tokyo 2020? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/tokyo-2020-2020-7-24-8-9.23698/post-353189...
