Yes and lack of money or work life balance or having a full life does not equal happiness either.

Whether they win or not affects how their lives look in ten years.

I think more than anything else, the match revealed how technically sound Jeoung is.

When they asked Jeoung who was going to win the singles gold, his answer was Ma Long. That tells you what happened when the match got tight. Freitas gave a very different answer. That answer tells you what will happen when a match gets tight.

Why are you jinxing him now??? And all the top players are all awesome athletes! Aruna is just slightly more awesome than many of them. :p

Sure. Race is only in the heads of those who see it. Like I said, I could have posed the same problem for any player. And I am Nigerian, so I am posing it so that if anyone has a problem with it, I will unleash my patriotic vitriol in their direction.

I would have rooted for Timo against anyone other than Aruna or Toriola. But after Aruna beat CCY, all I could do was hope. For me, the CNT have always been too simultaneously technically sound and powerful for Aruna to stand a chance. So I am happy with where things are.

What is this opinion of mine?

Of course. So if someone had pointed out how bad Timo Boll's forehand is technically (the Chinese say it is), and I mock the person after Timo Boll beats a Chen Qi, for example, I am making the same kind of joke. People can read into it anything they want. But since it is Aruna, rather than...

Sure. A breath of fresh air. Thanks for the comments - they speak for themselves. Maybe as a Nigerian, I watch Aruna more closely than most people. And I will tell you that the backhand he has now is light years ahead of the backhand he had in September last year. In fact, that is one of...

You made specific comments about Achanta's and Aruna's forehands being not correct because they don't finish across the body as much as you think they should - you can disown these comments now, but that is okay.

Yeah, sure - the Timo who the Chinese tell you to never imitate his forehand. On a more serious note, stop trying to read too much into a statement that was directed at someone who knew what I was talking about.

I never brought race into this - I was speaking to someone who knew exactly what I was talking about based on specific comments he had made in the past. But since you brought race into it, I am happy to hear you are a fan of good table tennis. IT would be sad to be posting on this website if...

Yes, the Aruna with the supposedly inferior forehand technique. You have a problem with that?

Why would the ITTF associate itself with something like this??? It would be like FIBA trying to regulate playground or one on one basketball.

The point always begins with serve and serve return. If an opponent is unconventional, those things become far more important for you to analyze and dictate. If you do the right things, then you may never see the unconventional strokes. If you treat those things as simply trying to put the...

Gold - Ma Long Silver - Zhang Jike Bronze - Dimitrij Ovtcharov Women's Singles: Gold - Ding Ning Gold - Li Xiaoxia Bronze - Feng Tianwei?

I just looked at the Westchester results. That kid in the video, who lost to me and a 1700 player, comfortably beat a 2050 and a 2100 player, a 2100 player that beat me comfortably. It's just a warning of what happens when you try to engage certain players directly with fast heavy topspin and...

You may be surprised but that was actually Evolution FX-S. A silly story but I didn't use the rubber for any other match but that one.
