  1. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    He probably did or at least a seamless ball. WCQ should have won, but I am pointing out the level of work the CNT do to prevent these things and when they don't have the time to prepare, what some things that follow are.
  2. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    There are ranking points and future placement spots tied to it.
  3. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    They usually practice for days/weeks with tournament ball and tables to adjust. The smash took away that lead-in time.

    PRK crushed SK 3-0. So i suspect he should have been more convinced than he was.
  5. Wang Chuqin loses to 14 year old!

    You are right. But accept it as one of the facts of TT that not everyone is equally knowledgeable and some misinformation will come out. It would have helped if you had quoted one or two of the posts you were responding to.
  6. Wang Chuqin loses to 14 year old!

    What nonsense, no one is making it sound like he is an average player, these things need to be framed as stories that capture attention no matter how clickbaity they may seem at times. No matter how you frame it, he is still a 14 year old. Harimoto was also a ridiculously talented 14 year old...

    LSD has stabilized the team IMHO so they are not that vulnerable. Korea is always a threat though but they have to get and stay hot.

    WT F - Women's Team final WT F - What the FXxK! Congrats to team Japan for doing something that happens once every blue moon!

    The problem with the current lineup is Ito - this is a prime chance without Wang Manyu and Chen Meng to bother the CNT again, but it is obvious that Ito is going to cost them this match even if Hirano wins unless Harimoto can close out SYS which is asking a lot.

    She likes smash too much, it won't work - long pips require patience.
  11. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    Ito: sometimes you don't need to read past the cover to tell how the story ends...
  12. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    Youtube is not showing table 1 anymore, where are people watching?
  13. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    The best story in TT once more delivers for his fans lol... go WCT... KCJ is becoming a beast though, it will be harder to beat that kid in a year, German league is helping him for sure.
  14. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    Good match, but the umpires really needed to do better and Ayhika really needed to know better and not give up that point.
  15. 27th ITTF-Asian Table Tennis Championships 2024, Astana, 10/7-13

    Against China, there is zero risk, anyone can play, and I think Odo deserves a chance in that scenario since the score doesn't really matter - Odo freezing against the tricky game of Batra is very different.

    Exactly, that is the proper way to introduce new players to international competition, this is hazing, especially after the competitive nature of the first match. But it takes experiences like this for a coach to learn, he hasn't had this level of risk before against teams not named China.
