And my stance on Hayata's luck has only been reinforced over the past 2 years and 8 months and counting. Such a waste of my time and brain cells arguing with those members who have a history of going back on their own posts. P.S. 1/2024 0-11 and still expecting her first win 9/2026 0-20 and...

It's complicated with Miki House players, namely Odo/Yokoi (both current) and Sato/Hashimoto/Shibata (all former but still under their influence, with Hashimoto more detached). Refer to this post for more on the backdrop and timeline of events for the selection trial for WTTC 2026 and Asian...

Such an honor. How I wish. Don't miss my quotes of his interviews and opinions (here and here).

Oh, Togami sure did and Kishikawa as well, both after WTTC 2026. The sad part is that Mizutani's analysis of Togami in 7/2023 has turned out true and my own analysis of Togami in 6/2022 (07/27/2023 at 5:24pm) (which IIRC was a reply to your post on Togami) after his loss to none other than LSD...

If you wanted to quote, do it properly. Pongfugrasshopper wrote "The Japanese men would have had a very good shot at winning gold if the men's teams event was continued at the LA2028 Olympics." That's fanboyism-level cringeworthy and fantasy when even the absolute ace of the team Harimoto had...

XD QF Matsushima/Harimoto 0-3 WCQ/SYS (-10, -11, -8) Felt close throughout but never really gave off the winning vibe or determination, especially in Harimoto, which was fatal given the laissez-faire Matsushima. LJH/SYB 3-2 LYJ/CIC (7, -10, 7, -5, 10) Desai/Ghorpade 0-3 LSD/KM (-5, -10, -9)...

Another case of arguing with the player here. You need to read Harimoto's comment after the MT final on not having run into FRA, SWE, GER and TPE in the KO stage of WTTC 2026. Their odds of reaching the final would have been lower. If even the player admits that to the press, then why would a...

Tell me about it. Recent events have enlightened me of what folks I'm dealing with here and reminded me of the following news clip about a football playing kid and his 3 teammates...

And your definition is the source of argument here. That's how DHS does it with prototype blades for their players and they call it custom-made. Stories of DHS and Blade Prototypes https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/stories-of-dhs-and-blade-prototypes.38746/post-589624

Another cringeworthy comment, which has crept up in recent years. You're gravely underestimating the other teams from around the world, namely FRA, and to a lesser extent TPE, SWE and GER. You're also overly optimistic about the consistency of JPN. Care to look up the teams they lost to and...

Forgot this. Draft selection criteria ATTC 2026 released on 8/29. WCQ/SYS/WMY/CXT/HZJ have opted out. 中国乒乓球协会关于《2026年亚洲乒乓球锦标赛选拔办法》的公示 https://www.ctta.cn/xhgg/qttz/2026/0829/706585.html https://staticxh.sports.cn/Image/soft/260828/134-260RQA540143.pdf

Citing form and injuries, both LJK and ZQH opted out of the selection trial, which XP ended up winning, whereas WCQ, LSD and WRB qualified by WR. Selection criteria https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/if-you-are-the-cnt-boss-what-would-you-do.35638/post-577401 Lineups and rationales...

WRB actually did OK for his first MT final. It was made clear in the selection criteria that they were going to use Asian Games 2026 and ATTC 2026 to "assess milestones" for LA28 and "discover as well as nurture" reserve players for Brisbane 2032. Honestly, WH is more courageous than Kishikawa...

That's seriously the quietest award ceremony. Just how unsupportive of the Games are the local folks in Japan? Hardly any local fans. I thought Uda would show up for the award ceremony. Just how serious is his left shoulder injury?

Plus the 5-game match against LYJ the previous night, and the extra match against Preechayan after LSD's loss.

WT F CHN 3-0 JPN SYS 3-1 Hayata (4, 6, -8, 7) G1 40, 43, 53, 54, 114 Unlike the MT F, the net and edge are "in good order" for SYS. G2 41, 42, 62, 64, 74, 75, 105, 106, 116 G3 33, 34, 44, 47, 57, 59, 79 TO for JPN, 710 net for Hayata, 810, 811 G4 20, 21, 41, 42, 52 Hayata served to the ump!, 72...

Now we have confirmation of the winning conditions that must be met: 1) No FZD, ML and LJK; 2) Harimoto, LYJ and Matsushima must be online simultaneously; 3)
