[size=+2]A sham fisticuffs is coming on. China vs China [/size]
Entirely disinterested in watching the fixed insipid gameplay as performed by the robotic puppets. All is good for China, while detrimental for our sport.

Both Women's semis were duds. Both Men's semis were matches for the ages. Amazing tension throughout both matches. Great tactics, execution, and nerves by all 4 players. It's a shame anyone lost either match.

For me, Tokyo Olympics have totally delivered.

ML does look visibly past his prime. I'm predicting FZD 4-1 or 4-2 over ML.

XX/LSW: See, our loss ended up motivating our teammates to push themselves instead of the other way round. Like why did we train so hard??

It's just gutting that one of Dima or Lin will miss out on a medal after such great matches.

Even though it's as thought – China vs China finals – it seems closer and could have been so different. Hope the final is close but think FZD will win easily though hoping the Captain will get the gold!

That was so close for both chinese men wow, I did not expect this. Ovtcharov usually has no chance against Ma Long, this is surprising. And LIN Yun-Ju is huge, a pity he lost. But he is the biggest threat for them in the next years imho. (Harimoto stagnated unfortunately with no real progress and isn't good enough)

Ma Long has gone out of court during a stressful, tight situation for the second time now in the Olympics. he had done it in the 2016 Rio Olympics as well, but can't remember with who against did he play in that match, was it Jun Mizutani, does anyone remember? But he'd gone out of court with his coach Liu Guoliang in 2016 Rio Olympics supposedly for a shirt change but the reason was undoubtedly a lot psychologically deeper than this, as he was so nervous in one of the matches in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
