WR 2? haha u mean 12?

hmm what would I ask RSM.

"What was it that made you consider moving to Ochsenhausen to start playing in the German League? How are you enjoying the competition so far?"

Sali · Apr 17, 2013

I saw you are trying now to play with backhand side. Do you think that start playing backhand will help you to fight with chinese guys?

TTImpossible · Apr 17, 2013

Does Ryu feel that (he is a young man still of course) age affects table tennis players greatly? What is the maximum age in Ryu's opinion to which a player can play, train and compete to the highest level? late 30's 40's?

Kimo · Apr 17, 2013

I would like to know what Ryu think about Zhang Jike's saying Ryu's "short-lived".

It's a complicated question, but I really wonder his thoughts about it.

RubinTM · Apr 17, 2013

what was the hardest opponent you've ever faced? why do you think the penholders are disappearing?
and What do you expect from the WTTC 2013?

Der_Echte · Apr 17, 2013

RSM, your son, will he be a SHAKEHAND or a PENHOLD player???

Your early Facebook pics you have posted lean heavily towards him being a natural for PENHOLD.

clumsy · Apr 17, 2013

Why did you choose to play the style you play? Have you ever considered innovating your style? Have you tried using the reverse penhold backhand?

YosuaYosan · Apr 17, 2013

I would be extremely grateful if my question is entered into the interview as I am doing a study in a certain aspect of table tennis which may develop into an intensive research for the whole development of table tennis as a sport. Ryu's personal answer would be a great starting evidence and data for this study.

Here is my question:
"Other than the speed glue ban post 2008 Olympics, there is a noticable switch of rubber trend from lower arc/trajectory table tennis rubbers such as the Butterfly Bryce product line into table tennis rubbers with substantially higher arc/trajectory such as the Butterfly Tenergy series. How do you think the speed glue ban and the change in rubber trend post 2008 Olympics has affected your game? What do you feel about the effectiveness of your forehand attacks after the trend switch? Do you prone to make more errors and how much technique adjustment were made? Do you feel that more points ended because the ball flew off the table (an out ball) rather than stuck by the net after the trend change?"

A great and not-to-be-missed opportunity indeed! Thank you very much beforehand, TTD! Hoping for the best!

Thanks for all the questions so far everyone! I will send them off to Ryu very soon. Please keep posting any questions you have for him

mileshong · Apr 18, 2013

In the past, did you ever play shakehand before? Chinese penhold? Do you like Wang Hao's penhold style of play? Did you ever decided to change your style of play to keep up against the backhands of shakehand players?

Iczy · Apr 18, 2013

"Your style is highly praised, especially your footwork speed. Is it mainly the result of hard training or the natural trait you already have since birth?"

Filip · Apr 18, 2013

What is the difference between you in 2004 (at your toplevel) and now? Has the glueban effected your level of play?

TTANKEY · Apr 18, 2013

The modern table tennis style is growing up. And it's fundamental for a penholder to be attacking almost every time to beat chinese players. Do you think that the absence of a regular powerful backhand for a penholder is an disadvantage? If so, what would you do to "repair" this situation?

bhaveshdduke@gmail.com · Apr 18, 2013

what type of physical training you did to achieve such high level of physical fitness,specially between 2004 to 2007.......

Pongfinity · Apr 18, 2013

How did you start playing the sport?
What is your best victory ever?
What are the things that keeps you motivated to train very hard all the time?
Who do you like to play most against of the chinese players?
Joo Sae Huyk said in TTD interview that you are a difficult opponent to him, do you like to play against defensive style players?
Who is the funniest guy in the hall of the top-20 players in world?
How much do you train?
What kind of physical exercises do you do most?
What is your biggest goal for the future?

Michal_Z · Apr 18, 2013

Why do you think you lost to Wang Hao at WTTC 2011? You were 3:2 up, aiming to win, but lost 4:3.
What happened?

pingpingpongpong · Apr 19, 2013

If I may ask, how does it feel like to defend your Olympic title in Beijing? I think you were already 0-3 down against Ko Lai Chak of HK but you still managed to win the 4th set; were you still motivated to fight hard?

Joo Saehyuk will be joining again in the Chinese Super League this year ; have you ever considered also to participate in these Chinese leagues? Is it because you prefer European more? Why??

What are your languages?

Thank you
