No, this was just the first stage (qualifications). The main event will take place later this year (September) in Shaanxi.

Li Sun shared that Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu demonstrated keen desire to participate in the upcoming Olympics (unofficial official statement about China's Tokyo lineup?). Liu Shiwen's recovery in particular, based on her performances in the National Games and closed-door...

Did you see her against Li Yake and Guo Yuhan yesterday, especially during the second and third games. Her FH seems to have become more powerful.

The reason LSW and SYS participated is to secure a XD slot for their respective provincial teams. Should LSW or SYS team up with XX (depending on who are the Olympics representatives) later in the year for National Games, their current partners Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun can choose someone...

Yes and no I suppose. He didn't form a XD pair with any of his Shanghainese teammates but there is a rule stipulating that the Olympics XD pair (which XX is 100% confirmed?) can proceed directly to the main event. Pairs which qualified for the MD Main Event (to be held later in the year) are...

Pairs which qualified for the XD Main Event (to be held later in the year) are: 1) Lin Gaoyuan/Liu Shiwen 2) Liang Jingkun/Sun Yingsha 3) Zhu Linfeng/Zhu Yuling 4) Zhao Zihao/Chen Yi 5) Zhu Yi/Zhao Ge 6) Cao Wei/Wang Manyu 7) Xue Fei/Zhang Rui 8) Xu Chenhao/Li Yake 9) Zhou Kai/He Zhuojia 10)...

WMY: Am I a joke to you? OTOH, 'good' news for Mizutanito? Lee/Jeon still has yet to qualify for Olympics LOL

Team Guangdong has announced their line-up for the National Games (to be held in September), but the preliminaries/qualification tournament will commence 20 March. Men's Team (proceed directly to main draw as winners of the National Championships last year): Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou...

Unpopular opinion but I would actually go with LSW, CM and WMY. Not gonna talk about the division of labour here insofar as who plays Singles etc., but merely bearing in mind Doubles flexibility for the team event. I find the pairings of CM/SYS and WMY/SYS rather unimpressive (granted the latter...

CHJ: Am I just a placeholder?

Seems like the Korean seonbae is much more reliable than the Japanese senpai here. Senpai appears unable to control and/or return with enough quality to stop the opponent from delivering winning shots while seonbae is able to do so and even brings a lethal forehand.

Does making the finals mean that Lee/Jeon has secured a XD slot for the Olympics? I remember reading somewhere that WTT Doha is a qualification event but can't be sure. Pardon me.

O_O FTW took a game from Hayata FTW: I was just pretending to be mediocre during T-league so that I can study all of you JNT girls.

o_O Can senpai pull off the unimaginable? CIC: 8201 Ishikawa: 7805 Difference of 396 points. Seems like senpai has to make it to the finals (+420 or 600) to have any chance of overtaking CIC after her teammate Hayata very helpfully removed the second seed.

Wow what happened to Choi Hyojoo? Stopped trying after being confirmed for Olympics?

No men's thread so I'll hijack the women's but can any kind soul briefly summarise what Mizutani-senpai said about XX at 17:12 after 0 wins and 12 losses? Haha, sounds like he's being rather humble here.

Ito and Yu look like they are gonna collapse at any moment.

If only YMY (national pride?) and Suthasini wasn't in a separate quarter of their own, the semis could have become another All Japan Championship (sans senpai). Jeon is the only koala in play, although she left the assassinate-ito training camp the earliest.

Team Chinese Taipei (apart from Lin Yun-ju) has crashed out.

Operation 'Assassinate Ito' (a.k.a. Team Koala) is a failure, unless Lily Zhang and/or Adriana Diaz are the ones who have improved the most.
