Of course Ma Long had a bad day, he's still a better player than Liam (obviously), but just not on that day. This is not to say that Liam wasn't playing extremely well, which he was. We've all known for a long time that Liam has the capability of beating top players, so this shouldn't really be...

I agree with you and my last sentence wasn't properly thought out. I thought younger gymnasts would have a physiological advantage due to the nature of the sport. But I'm not an expert on gymnastics, more throwing it out there as an area of discussion. Perhaps Harimoto has a physiological...

I think we have to place chess, e-sports or anything similar to those in a different category of sport than table tennis, football etc. Well it's a different kind of sport, they're clearly different. In chess you don't use your muscles (other than lifting those chess pieces) This doesn't mean...

It's a matter of lots of little things, isn't it. The intuition comes from the practice and of course the support he's had from his parents, his experience from playing etc. It all adds up. There was little doubt in my mind from when he beat Jens Lundqvist that he had massive potential. If I'm...

This is true. I felt that this was also Kristians weakness as he is sometimes too eager to get in and likes to play shots which have a very small margin for error. Jörgen Persson pointed this out too when commentating the swedish matches on tv (brilliant commentator btw). I thought FZD's match...

Agreed on all points and I've seen that commentary :). I haven't seen the match against Geraldo yet, I'll have to check it to see what happened there. Of course he has his flaws and I know he's not some unstoppable player by any means. I think you misunderstood what I meant by impressive. He...

Having now seen FZD for real there’s no doubt that he’s the most impressive player I’ve seen. The amount of power he can generate on both wings, how he moves so quickly to each ball and is able to place it almost perfectly each time. He made Filus look like a beginner even though he’s a world...

I think it was 2500 Swedish krona (which I think is around 250 euro) for all the days. I paid 1500 kr for Thursday - Sunday. We also decided to get the ticket for Wednesday which was 300 kr. Definitely worth it, it was an amazing experience. I wouldn’t mind missing out on the final even, the...

We’ve just received news ovtcharov won’t be playing in the final, Ruwen will instead take his place. I think that was the right decision and will make it more entertaining.

You were so right about this. What a match between Germany and Korea.. my god. I don’t think I will ever witness such table tennis again. Lee sangsu might be one of my new favorite players. The only disappointing matchup was with ovtcharov, he doesn’t seem to be feeling well. If he’s still in...

The atmosphere in the hall during the sweden games is so good, amazing feeling watching Jon win the the match point against England. Feelings were at an all time high against tepei yesterday, I could barely watch it. Unfortunate to see japan out as I was looking forward to watching them play...

Even though I'm half british myself I'm really sad to see japan lose that match, I didn't get to watch the games but now I really want to see what happened. I was hoping to see japan play against kina. Fair play to the English boys, Liam has been on a roll for a while now.. how on earth did Niwa...

I think you misunderstood my post. The discussion itself is pointless, because again, there is no way of knowing. All it is doing is creating unnecessary controversy. Looking at the characters of the CNT I find it unlikely that they would intentionally lose games for an extra medal in a...

I haven't watched your video but this is a pointless discussion. There is currently no way for us to know. But here I go anyway.. I'm a massive fan of the CNT, especially Ma Long and FZD. They better not be match fixing, that would be despicable and they know it. To ensure two medals in a...

Its been a long day.. i was convinced this was the final :D

Unbelievable how well Calderano is playing today.

I thought it was rather ridiculous. From what I heard from a few people who attended the event, the measurement wasn't accurate. Either way, the average measurement was 4.09 and it can't exceed 4.04. Additionally, Kristian said it was ok for Jens to play with it. Why not just go ahead and play...
