Oops, seems like LSW won't be playing in M12. She has sprained her leg so Qian Tianyi will replace her.

Major updates to Marvellous 12 1) Wang Chuqin continues to be suspended CNT is making good on their word of suspending WCQ, so he is not getting a place on M12 even though he played in the preliminary stage (lol?). Apparently, the coaches set the (nearly impossible) condition that he could...

But... that's the match which Hirano was playing more like her idol's present form. Previously, she was still mimicking the pre-2015 LSW who is only about being 速い.

After two days of intense matches, the three confirmed names for WTTTC2020 are Ito, Ishikawa and Hirano. Lol, aren't these the people we already know would be going? The winner of the National Championships would likely be Ito and Hirano is likely the third Olympics player so... what next? The...

Fuji TV. Hirano 1 - 1 Ito. Game 3 Ito leads 5-0. Wow at Hirano saving all those shots against Ito.

Not on TV Tokyo but at least they provide twitter updates. Tomokazu Harimoto 4-0 Jin Takuya Koki Niwa 4-2 Morizono Masataka

Pretty impressed by Hirano's performance thus far. Edit: Then she became her old self after Hayata's timeout in game 5 :confused: Wow, very calm and collected in game 6. Ishikawa-senpai better watch out. Someone wants to enact revenge.

Lol what's the deal with Jin Takuya. Is he more of a domestic player? I've only really seen him represent Japan in some team events this year. Also, Morizono has no coach? Kudos to him for making it this far on his own.

Meanwhile in Haikou, Yuling upon receiving news of her bestie losing...

2024 = watershed year? ;)

Totally random observation but the Sayaka Hirano of today is so much more smiley. As a player, I remember she had a textbook RBF or what some would call "blackface".

Updated: 29 December 2019 The yearly affair is back again, only that it will be held between 1 January to 4 January 2020 this time. The World Team Table Tennis Championships 2020 is scheduled for 22 to 29 March 2020, Busan. Singles Format There will be two stages. Stage 1 adopts the...

The last I saw was this: http://www.jtta.or.jp/Portals/0/images/player/nt_list/20191004_NTmember_W.pdf

That is team A except Hayata (i remember seeing that she was moved up and Shibata down to team B). I wonder what she has done to offend the association.

I think it's also the people around him who encourage him not to give up on Singles. If memory serves, Wang Liqin openly stated his support for XX following the latter's ascendency. I notice something interesting during the WTGF, namely that SYS has been consistently seated next to LGL and Li...

Agree that stamina is a huge issue, but Opens last 5 days while the Olympics 14 days so that is not so bad for the 'oldies'? Asian Championships is probably the closest trial run (lasting 8 days and comprising team, doubles and singles) which she did decently well in. Her main weakness IMO is...

LGL did a brief review of WTGF. On XD, he is generally pleased with XX and LSW's performance as they have clinched major titles this year (presumably referring to World Championships, Asian Championships and WTGF) but they still do not have any significant advantage over the other pairs. While...

The trophy and medal could be less... oriental?

Adam says separation by association. Really makes you wonder how/when ITTF amend the rules. Everyone on different page?

Actually, Ito shouldn't be citing injury as a reason. That's DN thing. Be original.
