Mizutani couldn't keep up. Ito was under so much pressure to carry.

I'm coming, Tokyo 2020.

I made that post not to defend or attack anyone, but because ML argued the point of contact was not hidden yesterday and the position of the camera today, when that's not how the rules are written and should be interpreted. Bobrow also mentioned "from net post to net post." It doesn't matter...

You're welcome. Glad you find it helpful. I hope the rest of the world could better understand why the CNT do things in a certain way that some might find expedient, where they are coming from.

LGL: "Use with protection. Protection from injury, not protection of result."

And then the constant service calls actually benefited ML. It disrupted the flow so much.

Good for nothing still good for nothing!

Somebody send ML this image. http://www.mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77280&PID=955592&title=liebherr-2016-ittf-european-championships#955592

Who goes there?

Yea, it was slightly different for Rio 2016. Remember the qualification fiasco in Hong Kong? They changed the order of qualification(qualification tournament before world ranking) and China took advantage of it. ML got his spot by winning the qualification tournament. CNT confirmed it. FZD...

Many people get this wrong when they cite how ML was No. 1 and didn't get to play. London 2012 was different thanks to Sharara. The CNT could've denied WH's or ZJK's to make ML play singles, but the rules were such that doing so would disqualify them from playing the team event.

That's how Sweden beat China. The players and coaches treated the team and singles as one continuity. Glenn picked the best possible players for the job and went ahead with a surprise lineup, much like what Yoo Namkyu did at the TWC.

From the CNT's perspective, it's not just about any 1 event. They treat all 5 events as 1 continuity, each connected to the other.

In the interview before WTTC 2019, LGL rated the 5 Olympic events by danger level. He said all 5 golds are not safe. He can't make any guarantees or promises, instead he could only tell based on probability. For Japan, they'll fight for all 5 golds, because they also can't make any guarantees...

If Harimoto made that FH at 9:6 in G6, it could've gone his way, whether XX or QZJ would use the medical TO or not. Ito: He was this close!

Ironically, he was the first to use it as well at the WTTC 2015 and he lost. Harimoto 3:0, 5:1, 6:6, 7:6, 8:6(FH 3rd ball winner), 8:8, 9:8, 10:8...

There it is. QZJ: Medical TO.

Could be. He was doing all right until G4 when Harimoto took that game, not unlike what happened at the WTTC 2019.
