Were you always better than the other players or did you get stronger over time?

Gold - China Silver - Hong Kong Bronze - Germany

I hadn't thought of it like that. Maze is a real character; we need more guys like him, I just can't agree with being aggresive toward the officials. Also, total respect due to the Denmark fans!! They were brilliant on Tuesday night.

Last night I saw an unforgetable match between Michael Maze and Dimitij Ovtcharov. In the 2nd game Maze was 10-8 up but got faulted on his serve and penalised 1 point. Maze then hit the ball in anger which unfortunately riccoched into the referees chest! The ref then gave him a yellow card...

Would've been good to meet up fella - enjoy the games!

If anyone fancies going along next Tuesday at 4pm I have a spare ticket

Well said mate; he's young and he will regret it no doubt, the trouble is he has a history of doing this. Hopefully he will grow up and start acting like a man. If these two players keep trying hard they will take this game stratospheric. All praise to China and bring on the Olympics!

ignoring the spin and placement for a moment, what they are all doing is focussing on the serve fully, then feet bounce to the ready position. Very timely for me this; working hard on the basics makes everthing else become so much easier. It's a pleasure to see this.

Ha ha, I just checked Karakesevic Vs Kohei Morimoto - fantastic! I would hate to play that guy. Thanks for the player tip YosuaYosan **\O/**

You make me think of Joo See Hyuk; I wonder to myself why that guy isn't no.1 he was born in the wrong era maybe. Question - will a male defender ever win a world championship/olympic title in the next 20 years? I'm no book maker but if I was i'd give you 50:1 right now. New thread anyone? And...

It's quite amusing watching Schlager demonstrate footwork to the youngster, nice and easy when you have long legs.

I want a table tennis daily T shirt, cos my opponents need all the help they can get

After I watched the men's world cup final today I was only with admiration for this guy. Our sport needs young men like Zhang Yike and his fierce agression, arrogance and desire. His interviews are questionable but he is young and he will have to face up for his behavior, but you cannot question...

I also returned to the sport after more than 20 years, the rubbers are much faster nowadays, and modern players take the ball earlier with shorter strokes. Playing bigger away from the table was the thing when I was a nipper! That aside your reading of the game won't be lost, i'd advise to work...

Yeah my coach advised the same, I need to bring a towel when I play I think.. and a sweatband, but not Tenergy, not yet anyway

A cheap option - I like it!

Guys some of you may live in a warm climate, if so i'm keen to hear from you. Over the last month it's been warm here and my during practice my rubbers (TSP Rise BH/Agrit FH) are getting slick and greasy, so much so that all the grip and subsequently all confidence saps out of my game. Today I...

Dan you're a star keep up the good work!

Ha ha you make me laugh Azlan! It's funny when the excuses come out - though i've never heard anyone blame their undies!! ha ha! you are right, loosing is part of the game. Even if I give my opponent a hell of a beating I still say 'well played' what else can I say? I won't give them a lecture...

yeah I noticed that, maybe they see Tenergy's strength in short BH strokes, more expansive forehands with the Hurricane III
