Not convincing you or anyone else. Just pointing out that the persons who lost 0-3 weren't asked to retire and the person who lost 2-3 and forced the opponent to play out of her mind is being told to retire. If that doesn't deserve some reflection, then logic is meaningless. Of course, Tieba...

Don't use any, the rubber will play fine.

I don't think their results are different enough that I would say Gauzy gives me a better chance of winning a medal in singles than Alexis. I would say Gauzy is more stable to hit round ot 16, maybe QF, but Alexis if he is on his game can get me a medal. Safe bet vs high risk. If safe bet...

I could argue it matters but ultimately, the issue is not necessarily the inner vs outer fiber thing, it is overall setup speed, and I think that while the point about fast setups is right, I think making it about blade composition rather than that Lin is using a (for that level) very fast...

So you seriously believe that Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan or even Timo Boll with their outer fiber blades have a serious problem loop killing pushes vs inner fiber blade users?

There is no medal that Gauzy has a bigger chance of winning than Alexis.

Okay. So why were you discussing an outer ALC blade and LYJ? You just meant his blade was super fast?

I think the way the WTT rating system worked originally and even now made it harder to trust(and some people still massively mistrust it) so Japan tried to use the internal trials to fairly work around it. I don't think Japan was wrong in creating such a system given the competing aims of doing...

Is he using an outer ALC now? I thought he was a career SZLC user of his personal blade?

If there is criteria, then if Gauzy meets the criteria, he should go. But for me, Alexis's ceiling is clearly higher (beaten Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun), even with Gauzy's recent results and the most important thing is the medals, the upside not the downside. But if the criteria dictate...

For context: there is only one bronze medal at the Olympic games. Both male players who have bronze in men's singles over the last 3 Olympics have never beaten Ma Long. Your logic dictates that they should have retired. The women players who have bronze, all have fluke records vs CNT, no one...

That is fair based on ittf ranking. I guess France can decide whether being National champion counts for anything.

Yes, we know. So what has she done lately that Hayata didn't do? So the win over SYS last year which has failed replication with SYS plugging the holes is your justification for asking Hirano not to retire while Hayata who is clearly playing at a higher level.vs SYS who is plugging holes? Who...

Alexis is the French national champion and #2 ranked player so good luck with that.

Who are you saying is using an outer ALC blade?

Did you tell Hirano to retire after she played worse and lost worse?

Jean Jihee is clearly the Korean #1 in 2024. It is clear that she is on a mission to prove something, maybe they don't want her to play singles or something.

That 2-2, 1-2 point was video game table tennis at its finest.

That 2nd game against Bernadette Szocs is exactly why Chen Meng will not play singles at the Olympics if anyone ever thought she had a chance (while Wang Manyu exists).

It is definitely becoming a feature, not a bug.
