  1. Tokyo 2020 | 2020/7/24-8/9

    Pardon my poor comprehension, the teams announced today are only for the team event indeed 😶
  2. Tokyo 2020 | 2020/7/24-8/9

    Unless the teams released by ITTF today are really only those playing in the TEAM event.
  3. Tokyo 2020 | 2020/7/24-8/9

    XD looks like such a short tournament all of a sudden. A couple of associations have withdrawn while some are sending either only the male or female team? Is this the IOC clamping down on the number of associations due to Covid19? Not Attending - Canada's Eugene Wang & Zhang Mo - India's...
  4. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    I thought Ho Kwan Kit and Lee Ho Ching were the HK second brother 二哥 and sister 二姐 respectively, but at least the latter competed for the WS event in Rio ~ Men's Singles: Wong Chun Ting, Lam Siu Hang Men's Team: Wong Chun Ting, Lam Siu Hang, Ho Kwan Kit Women's Singles:Doo Hoi Kem, Minnie Soo...
  5. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    DN: I will be the reigning Olympics WS Champion for 8 years!
  6. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    Great irony being senpai beat both CM and SYS once during the time leading to Tokyo. Cha!! Ike Ike!!!!
  7. Ryu Seungmin: Korea's Women's Team Can Threaten Japan

    Didn't Lee Sangsu win the Olympics trials previously? He's not playing Singles? Although I do think that Jeoung is more promising.
  8. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    Nobody says it's not a strong team, but the selection criteria is unevenly applied for men and women. No point elaborating since the dust has settled (but memory serves that there is one more opportunity for national associations to amend the line-up). I mainly just found the 'democratic'...
  9. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    CriterION you mean. Just one. By superstitions, senpai (2nd player) will make it further than Ito (top player). 2012 London: Fukuhara (QF), Ishikawa (3rd/4th) 2016 Rio: Ishikawa (3rd Round), Fukuhara (3rd/4th) Can we expect JPN ex-no.1 sister Senpai to take down CM and SYS? Or my SG's very...
  10. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    LOL Hayata/Liu vs Chen/Wang, quite sure the former will win. Ito vs Sun (40-60), Liu vs Chen (40-60 to 50-50), Ito vs Chen (30-70), Hayata vs Sun (50-50). Also, I found this video really interesting: (http://t.cn/A6VymiAO?m=4637440721552372&u=5703735355), specifically how they had to justify...
  11. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    It's really quite sad, but I would also add one more factor. Mixed Doubles saved her from the brink of being ousted from Tokyo (with massive help from Ito knocking out ZYL and DN), but it also became the very hangman noose that sealed her Singles fate. Even without injury, playing three events...
  12. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    CTTA has ratified the line-up that was revealed prematurely by WTT. Mixed Doubles: XU Xin/LIU Shiwen Women's Singles: CHEN Meng, SUN Yingsha Men's Singles: MA Long, FAN Zhendong Women's Team: CHEN Meng, SUN Yingsha, LIU Shiwen / WANG Manyu (Reserve) Men's Team: MA Long, FAN Zhendong, XU Xin /...
  13. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    Either someone in ITTF/WTT gonna get fired for premature leak or the list has changed. This article has been deleted. Poor LSW. Might as well have retired. Three learning points for the next batch of women vying for Paris 2024: 1) World Championships Singles title doesn't mean much anymore so...
  14. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    Rumour has it that CNT will indeed announce their line-up tomorrow. The source, who goes by the name Ke Ruizi (not sure who is he though but he has appeared in a couple of domestic matches so maybe he has credibility), pointed out three matters. First, he outrightly named Wang Chuqin and Wang...

    Second Trials to be held in Nanyang, Henan announced. 26th May to 30th May. Could potentially have more categories than just MS, WS and XD. List of participating core players remain unchanged (ML, LSW, XX, CM, FZD, SYS...).
  17. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    Thanks for alerting to the full CCTV interview. Aside from the aforementioned by zeio, other key points of relevance to note: - There are considerable risks that comes with holding only one trial to determine player selection for major events. For example, some teammate killers (內戰王) may end up...
