Looks like Pistej tried upsetting Harimoto. Look at the way he was serving!

I became a Harimoto fan during this match. 13 years old, displaying great mental toughness in the face of all Pistej's antics. He refused to be phased in the slightest and it was Pistej--the adult--who broke down and embarrassed himself.

He gets annoyed by a child so he has to counter with this kindergarden shit lol. Very mature guy

I can't understand why the umpires let him get away with it...

i think the biggest problem is the coach of Harimoto... Harimoto just played like they teach him .
Pistej was upset on noise sounds from Harimoto when he was serving ...which is illegal but referee do not care ,they just care about his serve . This make him nervous. But still Harimoto was playing great.

What do you mean exactly? The first serves throw was too low, yes, should've been called on it. Other than that, what on earth should the umpire do? He is free to serve like he wants if it's according to the rules.

Harimoto played well, Pistej'e can not cope with the fact he was beaten by a kid, at the beginning of the game, when he won a point, sometimes he had a kind of laugh , he looked down on the kid, by the time he was down 3-0, then he was not happy. His manner and behavior was really stupid, it was shame . That should not be in table tennis.
As for the sound Harimoto makes, it happens to a lot of sport, Pistej'e can wait until Harimoto made the sound then serve , the sound was not loud and it was a kind of encouragement and kept himself to concentrate.
Table tennis has no age limit, why can,t a 13 yrs old boy play well ??????? We should be happy to see that kind of good table tennis ,no matter what age, what race and what sex.

While I think that shouting before someone serves should just give you a yellow card immediately, serving before someone's ready is worse.

You know what after this, I'm glad the 13 year old chose as hard as he does. He has earned it.

I had a player mock me once, by ironically serving a beginner serve after I warned him not to hide the ball. For a second I considered giving him a yellow card for bad sportsmanship and disrespecting an official, but decided against it because that call would have been controversial, and ultimately, he was only acting against himself.

He ended up losing the match (to an inferior player).

The Pistej serve was totally illegal, the umpires should have given the point to Harimoto Kamikazu

Yeah, that toss was nowhere near 6 inches.

Moreover, Pistej did not shake hands with the referees after the match finished... he seemed not to agree with their judgement during the match.

jamesmith · Jun 6, 2017

that is what we call he is a bad loser

In my club there was a Russian guy who got beaten up badly by a 10 yo girl. He did the same stupid craps and still lost to her. Then he continued asking her to play until she got exhausted. What an Ahole!

Pistej did shake hand with all of them ... you are just obsessed that`s all . See Dan interview ... He just try all to win.

I don't expect to see an international umpire let a player get away with a foul serve, or with serving before the opponent is ready. Poor officiating, barely worthy of a club match. However there is nothing at all wrong with trying different serves, or with using simple serves for a while if your more complex serves are causing more trouble to you than to your opponent.
