There you have it. MLin calls it at 12:11 in G2! Kato: I could use a breathing. Similar to a vaccine, TO has an efficacy rate as well. It never reaches 100%. It doesn't always work. Just like the flu virus that could mutate so much from year to year, the efficacy of a TO is always a...

Someone please forward this to Harimoto's dad. The Art of Calling Timeout - Better "Right" than Late There are no early timeouts but late timeouts. ZJK called it in G1 in the MS final against WH of London 2012. It doesn't always have to be saved for G7.

If there was an upset, then more often than not it would be a South Korean!

Harimoto's dad is poor at calling TO. He can't let this happen time after time. He needed to call TO in G6 at the latest. He always saves it for G7. That's too late already. The tide has turned.

Decided to skip the early matches after learning the draw because yours truly knew it...

FZD's age is real. There's a clip where he was training in Guangzhou and the coach said he was age 10. His family didn't want him to become table tennis player and his cadet results were not shiny, indirect proofs he was getting his ass handed by his "peers". So much fun looking back on the...

SYS: She's stronger than I'm! Ito: TT training! SYS: She's much harder than I'm! Me: :rolleyes: https://www.bilibili.com/s/video/BV1JA411x7WC

US bookmakers have reported taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bets every day on table tennis since the pandemic started. “The matches don’t take long to finish and since there are so many to parlay, people seem to really enjoy it,” says Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill’s US director of...

The "gotta translate this by all means" post! Forget Dima. Go Jorgic! https://sports.sina.com.cn/others/pingpang/2020-11-18/doc-iiznezxs2423011.shtml During this World Cup, Ma Long faced in the first round of the main draw the 22-year-old Slovenian Darko who broke through the qualifying...

Won't be easy, but a relatively better draw for Ito. Both FTW and Solja were in poor form at the WWC. Anything could happen.

Bumped into a recruitment post by Umehara. ¥927 for an hour of work as a part-time table tennis rubber production assistant. A total of 15 staff, 9 of which are in the work place, 4 of which are female and 3 are part-time.

Another point. If China was as "forgivable on win rate" as Europe, then many Chinese legends could've played just as long as many of the European legends. Boll lost so much in 2015 and 2016 that he would've been replaced if he were in China.

This one is suitable to be tackled from Hong Kong's perspective, Li Ching's and Ko Lai Chak's, to be precise. Li Ching @ 31 Li Ching vs Schlager @ MT QF WTTC 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eeEu_o7zyA Li Ching vs CWX @ MT QF WTTC 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68qYUGKAhCo Li Ching...

The original synopsis on the classic Skyline series read something like optimizations for the characteristics of MLin's and WH's games where: Skyline 2 had a hybrid topsheet, as in semi-tacky/semi-grippy, designed for 1-shot power loop; Skyline 3 had a tacky topsheet, designed for continuous...

Tibhar: All right folks, come up with an idea to make these sheeple think Evolution is "Made in Japan". Marketing: We'll print Japanese characters all over the package and ditch "Made in Germany", list the hardness with both JPN and EUR prefixes, but spin and speed with only a JPN prefix. Get...

I can tell with a 100% certainty that the sport is growing in Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, despite all the bickering over choing. Popularity of table tennis has never been higher in the last decade and it's all because of Harimoto, Hirano, Ito, Hayata, Sato, Nagasaki etc. posing such a...
