I no doubt about China will take this one! The video is so awesome! Great work guy

**dongta** · 08-02-2012

Now we just try to predict about the runner-up team in the team event. I think German, Korea and Japan have the same opportunities and they all get into semi-final.

Depends on if they can get past their neighbours from the north :P i think they might manage it though :P

**amr_tareef** · 08-03-2012

I think Japan will surprise us all and take it . Jun Mizutani's performance is great.

**Michal_Z** · 08-03-2012

So only one surprise so far..
Only surprise of today was that Feng Tianwei lost to LI Qian .. I mean - who would expect that one?

Lets see now, what in the men teams will happen

**Rhydian** · 08-03-2012

well... too bad for Portugal :l they will have to face Korea or Korea in the secound round! ^^
but first, there's the first round ^^
I just hope they perform well. a medal would be a miracle but who knows? ^^

i reckoned it would happen- feng may have beaten kim k.a but kim piled herself under way too much pressure and played poor, feng usually sucks against defence (except against park mi young lol :P )
perssson just blew a match point vs timo...

**jmillsy2** · 08-03-2012

and persson beats boll 3-1! incredible result!
drinkhall lost 3-1 though

down to pitchford now!

**Michal_Z** · 08-03-2012

where can I see germany vs. sweed ???

**joonpill** · 08-03-2012

Germany beats Sweden.. only interesting match in men's team. Also, Ai Fukuhara owned Ariel Hsing easily :P Yay

Oh my oh my, this tells a lot..
Timo has some serious problem I think..
2 losses to euro players, that is not cool .. that is bad..

well first was crisan, who is very very good vs boll- 14 wins v timo in bundesliga i think?
and persson is an old master of the sport, and today he had a very good match, and gave a masterclass- timo didnt do much wrong, he was just comprehensively outplayed.
he may pick up form, he may not...but that was certainly an emphatic way for jp to say goodbye to the olympics, thats for sure! :P

**Michal_Z** · 08-03-2012

Hmm.. I did not see the match, couldnt find the stream anywhere..
I hope we get some videos..
It were not many of them lately

**bzing** · 08-04-2012

lol Gerell Par called a time out at 12:11 with Dimitrij Ovtcharov. And at the end of it Dimitrij started arguing to the umpire that the ball is broken. The swede's coach says: now you say the ball is broken, and the whole altercation starts that lasts at least for 3 minutes

**TurboS1** · 08-04-2012

China will take gold 110% !
On second place I think that will be Japan , and third - Germany ))
I think that Ovtcharov will shine again ! GO DIMA !
