Oh nooooo, thats disgusting.
...
Where?
I think factors like:
- other sports have become more popular. Before everone played tabletennis but people are playing more other sports today.
- Better economy and standard of living. If they still can get a proper life standard today without becoming a tabletennis pro i think the motivation is less.

All threads are at risk of switching context to an equipment discussion 😀

It's one of the best things about the sport: the fun, variety, and ease of access of equipment.
If it's about sextape, yeah he totally deserves to be fired of any team, we french people remember the sextape scandal between Valbuena and Benzema, it was putting a shame on the whole team.
Now if it's only about the celebration at the end of the match, or a love affair with a women's team player, it's pure bigotry, and it's a typical behavior from chinese authorities who want to "sterilize" the game. We have already discussed about the Diaz red card for "kicking a ball" soccer style, and now this... Did Alexis Lebrun received any sanction for throwing his racket up in the air at risk of hurting someone after his victory vs Dima, from both WTT and the french federation ? of course he didn't.
This sport is going nowhere. A simple racket ditched on your side of the table, a ridiculous celebration, come on... be serious a minute, how can it be disrespectful ? seriously, Truls Moregardh is being way more disrespectful in that way many times in a single season, Karakasevic, even Jorgic goes sometimes berserk ! and nobody here complains.
If you chinese or asians users in general here complain about the asian players behavior but never about the euro ones, then you've got a serious hypocrisy issue.

I disagree. I do think LJK didn't mean anything disrespectful against LGY, and I also think LGY didn't take it that way. They just know each other too well, and the tap between them was absolutely OK. YET, what LJK did, was stupid, and it was a good call to suspend him. You pay for the stupidity, we all do. Cheers.

Can you explain what happened? I still don't know what actually happened. What specifically did LJK do? and what does it have to do with LGY?

Hi Michael, what I said was just my personal view of that "thing". I don't know what should I explain. Please see the

So he was suspended because he put his racket in his pants?
Is the affair with Liu Weishan fake news? Is Liu Weishan also LGY's girlfriend?

Hmmm, as I tried to convey, it is my opinion, that he was suspended, because his action can be understood as disrespectful. Even if he really doesn't mean it that way. It was a close match between two mates, where both are valuable, and one is struggling, the other one basically was given a place. A certain empathy would be more in place. Imo, it's good that such things are guarded. And that's why I think it was a good call...
About the affair or other internal things, I don't know nothing. I am an outsider. I'd wish zeio, or someone, would provide more fine grain view. Night...

ABSOLUTELY !
and btw. what earned the loudest applause of the whole tournament ?????
It goes to Moregardh and Falk for embracing themself in a great manly hug after the match.
The mainly female audience went berserk.
This "reservedness", or lack of living and showing true human emotion is not reserved for the Chinese, it seems to be an Asian-thing. I have experienced it in India, Thailand and very strongly in Japan.
So I enjoyed very much seeing Xu Xin ""paddeling "" Liu Shiwen on the butt a couple of times AND getting away with it . 🤣 ( I think it was during the mixed double at the Tokyo olympics ???? )
So to the Chinese authorities : Loosen up guys, life is short and hard enough, there is nothing wrong bringing a bit of humor and emotion into the game.

On a slightly different note, I was also surprised by how overwhelming female the audience was. Is that because it was mostly fan girls of the CNT? Had no idea the CNT men's team had groupies? Where were the men? I would have definitely attended if I were anywhere near Macau.
