Hugo played good table tennis - he was outplayed but if he can return serve better and rally better at thd table then he should be fine. The problem is that no one plays with the power he does except people on thr Chinese team and those are the people he needs to beat. Wondering whether he will...

Yeah but I dont think it would have made a difference. Even in the best Hugo game, it didn't feel as if he was outplaying Wang. It felt that some weird things were happening leading to Wang errors.

And be a lefty. Its easier to hit down the line with the forehand with power.

The biggest difference is that they fixed his down the line shot. Hugo is not covering that as well in the rallies.

I think Wang though is handling those first three balls consistently better so Hugo will have to work harder to stay in this.

Oh congrats to Sun Yingsha as well, I thought Wang Manyu would get her again in the final but boy was i wrong. Wang showed her strength but Sun matched it and surpassed it at the critical moments.

Congrats to Togami and Shinozuka. I was skeptical they could win the final but they proved me wrong.

The CNT didn't prepare Liang to win?

It would depend on whether Hugo's over the table game could handle Ma Long's variation. Hugo has gotten better at not backing off than he used to and his short game is better but the problem with Ma Long was that you never knew what he was going to do and Hugo just got surprised way too much...

Now you are just making noise - Ito has a right to say what she wants to say - it doesn't mean she is right or I agree with her, her argument was clearly out a desire to actually play in the Olympics and that is her desire and her business. Mizutani has a right to say what he wants to say. But...

I responded to the wrong post I meant to respond to his next post and clicked on the wrong one.

When your hear beats fast, you experience time at a faster rate than when your heart is beating slowly. So Hugo was probably overexcited and wanted to get the match over with but kept swinging too early and mistinwd the ball. But in thr infamous words of Wang Manyu, when you are struggling, it...

Truls is a great player and one of my favorites but he doesn't have Hugo quality or power. Maybe the only thing he is better at than Hugo is control but not by much. If Hugo gets those rallies that Truls got, Hugo will win many more than Truls did because he is more powerful than Truls. In...

Hugo has the game to beat WCQ in top form. WCQ in top form is about serve and third ball. WCQ has the game to beat Hugo in top form because Hugo is also about serve and third ball but he has to attack a lot of serves. I dont think top form is rhe decider, disruption will be.

You are on your own there. Mizutani can't tell people how they should deserve medals he never won.

She is #4 for a team with 3 players. Taking #4 off the candidates list is simple. Was LGY on the candidates list?

Nothing about being nice, peak WMY is just flat out better and is the favorite on Sunday unless SYS finds a peak level again.

OK coach.

Sure we can explain away just about everything - her world ranking was why she was picked, selection trials only allowed you to replace core players if you were the overall winner back then. The point is that beating her, while being achieved by a few players doesn't make her a bad player, it...

It is really insane. They would make a ton of money even with a short run special edition and they are just being stupid.
