Timo was 8th in May in ITTF Olympic Qual. ranking and Dima was 3rd, if Timo will win his only two matches in 3rd and 4rd round in singles he could meet Dima in QF at Rio 2016. I hope that Timo will win his first singles olympic medal.

Timo will face Tristan Flore in first round... I do not know, but I think Tristan can win.

Hoping for Timo to cause an upset, but seeing Ma Long vs. Zhang Jike in the semi will also be interesting

Yeah TT4life! Let's bet on your sportsman spirit versus mine!
Because even a stupid person can chip for the champion. Anyway, it worthless to talk. And yeah, i support fzd and Timo. They win or they loose, and I won't disgrace to the fans of those players whom Timo and fzd defeat. That's sportsman spirit. Probably not your cup of tea.
I am ending it here, without abusive slangs.

They will use rankings in July for Olympic seeding. And people from the same country are on opposite halves of the draw in Olympics.

Tristan beat Lin Gaoyuan. Of course he can beat Boll. But I trust Boll. He will not be surprised by Flore.

I've take a look on Ovcharov's statistics and he doesn't have too much unexpected loss. He played 2-3 against Joao Monteiro and was beaten by CCY. Beside that he was beaten by CNT players, Mizutani and two times by Oshima Yuya. I think who is more inconsistent is Oshima Yuya. He has the skill and power to be in top 10.

Oshima is young!

I meant lucky in the sense that he was able to achieve the skill level in relatively shorter time compared to his peers. Fan Zhendong was a prodigy. This kid made it even much shorter in the sense that his blocks are extraordinary and original. He sometimes uses side spin blocks. that too looks original.

If you see Fan Zhendong's Forehand. his balance is the best in the game. I would say even ZJK doesn't have that level of balance. Still Fan is 19, ZJK probably 28. They too started around the same age. People don't want to admit that some people are talented than others regardless of the amount of Hard work and effort in action.

He is phenomenal for his age. But, I ll put my bet on him that he is never going to be a World Champion because of his attitude. He simply doesn't have it. He is in top level because of his talent and there is no one to match him IMO based on my limited knowledge.

Then, slowly most of top pro's are going to adapt to his screams. Further, he looks very vulenerable after losing points. ZJK, Waldner- these guys look like stones, emotionless. It is a key in becoming champion. Emotions can't get in when u play the last set of WTTC. Under 21 is different story fresh blood, maverick fire. But, slowly everyone realise that it is not teenage anymore.

That was very good info about his family and ethinicity. I have a strong opinon that super athletes are usually made from athletes. In that sense, there goes the first pre requirement in making of a champion.

The word retarted has meaning like stupid, foolish. It not only means mentally handicapped. The world is fixated with their own defintions as the only right one. I am sorry, please look at a dictionary before taking objections.

Zhang jike is the man of emotion when he won his 1st title in 2011 he was roaring after every point . especially vs timo boll . so being emotional so much doesnt stop a player to become a world champion or an olympic champion . as i told the example is zhang jika

I meant overall. Sometimes Ma long gets too pumped up but not that often as you know. The point is if you watch any of ZJK's games, for most part if the game goes to the last set, all his opponents crumble because of his stability.

If I could give you another example,it is Fedor Emelianko, Russian MMA legend. When he gets into the ring, he looks like a imbecile. When the bell rings, the opponent is tore into pieces. No place for emotion. Just Numb.

yeah i know what you mean . Actually i watch every game of zjk and ml more than 10 times cause i enjoy their game as others . for this reason i told zjk had strong emotions in every single point . according to what u said when it comes to the decider he concentrate more on the last point then shows his peerless celebrations and that's right

Yep, party like 1999 after the world title not during the match. ZJK style
