so, we come to an end to the olympics. few things i would like to point out.1. Ma long has been absolutely superb. i think he has answered everybody. starting from the president of IOC and ITTF to common man following table tennis now knows secretly what an epic singles final has just been missed had the rules been less stupid. but rules are rules, however stupid they maybe, so accepted.2. China are still way ahead of the rest. guys, lets not forget, it's always difficult to win the second time. nowadays, opponents have so many means to plan and exploit your weaknesses. while we may say that germany may have put up a fair fight, the fact that China still manages to win so ruthlessly is unbelievable. the keep on winning is harder, anyone associated with sports will tell you that. hats off to their levels of dedication, motivation, and hard work, it's admirable. Talent is just another word in the dictionary without these attributes.3. we have mouth watering rivalries coming up. the players deserve some rest. but thinking of WTTC 2013 is giving me goosebumps already!!

Not exactly a nail biting encounter, was it?

yeap...chinese fear only their bad selves and no one else . imagine how easily they can sweep everybody 3-0 without losing a single set if those young players start to get more experience thus getting more relaxed and focused in competition , then they just cant lose.

if you watch the matches u will see that chinese players made mistakes of their own caused by their stress and not by the superiority of the opponent .

check the matches again here http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/london2012/index.html

go to the bar under the screen press the right arrow button 5 times untill "table tennis" card appears , press on it and there is a full list underneath the bar with most of the matches except the mens 2nd & 3rd round and the semifinal between germany and china .

absolutly right. there is THE BIG PRESSURE for the players of china.

for example what will happen if you are a chinese: you just won the olympic gold medal in 100m dashing (or whatever). after 4 years, your country spend millions or billions for making ADS, puplic spots etc. and then you lost or "just" won the silver medal. everyone thought you will bring the gold medal home. your neighbour and other people broken up your windows of your house (that happend once) and saying mean things about you. and more bad things.



at last: now get an english translator for the text above xD
