Reverse tomahawk if I didn't see wrong, my bad I skipped this detail [emoji14] nice to know more people do (I knew it, but never saw anyone doing it recently besides Ding Ning and Dima with the regular one)

I believe she learnt it from Kenta who is using this kind of serve for about 15 years. There are many short movies on YouTube showing young Kenta serving

Do you know why they are showing scores in Japanese not English? I read kind of well, but makes no much sense for me if the transmission is Swedish

The Japanese TV station TV Tokyo bought the rights to that table. That table is reserved for Team Japan. They've started doing it since WTTC 2014, I think.

Hahahahaha. That's almost as hilarious as the picture of Harimoto from the World Team Cup you posted. That was absolutely priceless. You're quite on a roll, zeio!

Thanks! More to come when the moment comes!

Ohh, I get it. Didn't know that was a thing for 'tables', I thought once the stations cover the event they'd just retransmit with adjustments, like Olympics. I like this forum very much, every time I learn something new, even if not necessarily about table tennis itself. Thank you very much for your reply!

I heard TV Tokyo sent a team of 110 people to Halmstad. They have 16 camera positions and their own media room.

Daaaang! I'm following them on Twitter and yes they are doing a big coverage but I'd never have a clue that they'd be that invested.

Did I see right? Someone other than Ding Ning doing reverse ~edited~ tomahawk? Daria Trigolos from Belarrus. And against Chen Meng hehe. If yes, nice try tho

Ding Ning mainly uses reserve tomahawk. Kenta Matsudaira used both reserve and normal tomahawk a lot. Nowadays he mainly uses normal tomahawk and as a surprize weapon reserve.

After people talk about him I looked a bit on YT and wow, he does RT very very fast O.O

You're welcome. That shows how serious the Japanese media is about table tennis for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Badminton is doing even better but somehow table tennis attracts more attention there.

Sharath Kamal played like a man possessed when he defeated both Simon Gauzy and Lebesson. Extremely aggressive power strokes -was quite entertaining. What a pity India still lost to France.

talbon · Apr 30, 2018

Yes. Gauzy - Gnanasekaran is a spectacular match too.

Try Laola1.tv...
It should work without restrictions in most places in Europe. Several tables available.
