Remember that virtual reality crap that was promised? A total waste of time. https://www.ittf.com/2016/12/08/moves-virtual-reality-world-tour-grand-finals/ https://www.ittf.com/2017/01/18/virtual-reality-table-tennis-just-got-real/

Looks so cool!

C'mon. Do you want me to refute you right in the face? I have the article where Ito explains it in detail.

Doesn't matter either way. Just like when Ito was asked about the CNT lineup for Tokyo 2020. She picked what she thought would be the best possible lineup. People in China thought she was crazy back then.

Me sad? Why would I? I have nothing to lose here. It's Japan that should feel sad. I'm merely speaking from the Japanese standpoint of fielding the best possible lineup. It's they that want the gold medal here.

Check out the crowd reaction in the full version.

Bobrow is using the term "Mima Punch" wrong. The term is only used for that specific FH shot with little backswing.

Record-wise, she's keeping up with Ito and Hirano when they were small.

Came back from 0:8...Pistej must be pissed.

No way will my Idol get out of the picture. She's determined to stir the pot for another 12 years. So watch out, Miwa Harimoto!

Japan Top 12 won't matter. It's only used to determine 1 spot of the team for WTTC 2020. It's in the title of the competition. http://www.jtta.or.jp/Portals/0/images/tournament/Nationals/2019_pdf/20191114_top12_prospectus.pdf LION Cup 24th Table Tennis Japan Top 12 SENDAI (And 2020 WTTC...

The whole point of having this comparison is to show the huge edge, even without all these extra points, that the top few enjoy over the others merely because they have a much higher starting point on the world ranking, which is why they don't have to play as much in the first place.

XX said he thought the star point would've gone to Boll instead.

Hilarious. Dude: No Chinese? Dude: How do you pronounce the name? Lady: Lily Zhang Dude: Lily Zhang, is it? Lady: Lily Zhang, yes ...

A Japanese blogger by the handle kittyyoyaji, likely a female, offers her analysis and interpretations of the selection criteria in a 12-part series early this year. The interesting part starts from Part 5, where she raises the question of fairness when it comes to the 3rd player, that choppers...

Let's see what would happen if we look at the Opens only. Nothing else. No invitational events such as Asian Cup and hence no World Cup, no WTTC where Ishikawa, Ito and Hirano have never won the trials, and by extension no ATTC. Last but not least, no T2. Ito, Hirano and Ishikawa, would...

I get these comments from Japanese netizens about the focus on the women's on my channel as well, such as this one. Well, TV ratings matter. Japan vs South Korea made the top 10. https://www.videor.co.jp/tvrating/2019/11/35392.html

Well, that's the "hidden obstacle" of this selection system, to prevent something like that from happening. Ishikawa, Ito and Hirano started the year as the top 3 in Japan. These 3 have a huge advantage over the others because they have huge points from playing the WTTC 2018. Your results...
