Amazing Dan! They are so fit, do you see them doing any general fitness training without hitting balls, do they do weights or anything?

Any chance one of those used 3* balls might find its way back to the academy. Imagine playing the Mars Bar challenge with a ball that has touched Ma Lin's rubber!

Can't wait for the WTTC to start now after watching this.

Hey, which player is this from the Academy Night sessions? :)

Yeah they do gym in-between the morning and afternoon session. It is so serious it's crazy! Yes, I have some training balls, from here. They are all Butterfly or DHS 3 star. I will give you one :)

Fantastic Dan.
I am surprised they don't have any youngsters picking up all those balls for them. I know they generally just squash when you tread on them, but still seems a bit of a hazard having so many balls all over the floor.
Love your photos, especially the one where they are all lined up for some kind of Pep talk.

Any chance of some gym footage ( weight training etc )
Awesome stuff you've captured here though nice one :D !!!

OH YEAH !!
If you speak to Ma Long or even if he looks at you and you look at him, can you give him a thumbs up from me ( so he actually sees it :) ) and tell me if you do please .. I just really want to know I've had some sort of contact with him in my life looool I'm so sad xD

so are you all staying at the schlager center like one big family?
can you go at night knock their rooms?
can you find them in the cafeteria? the gym? recreation areas?

from pics/videos it seems there are not many people there watching them, is this correct?
maybe you could go ask one of the coaches or the not so mainstream players to play a match an record?
it would also be cool if you could buy/be gifted some of their rubbers/blades...

you should be all the time wearing shorts and with the paddle in one hand, kind of like "anybody wants to play me?" :D

Amazing work Dan, really amazing. A big thank you. These guys do work insanely hard and focused, don't they? It's unbelievable sometimes. Day in and day out. See if you might catch up with Ma Long sometime. Now I'm all the more impatient for the WTTC to start if I wasn't already...;)

Hey guys, I will do my best to get back to all your questions :) Thanks for all the support and following my updates guys! Much appreciated!

Great job, Dan. I'll show Liu Shiwen's serve practice video to my wife immediately.

Haha perfect! :)

I can try get some gym stuff but It is not easy with that. I will do my best :) and haha Ma Long's sends his telepathic communication with you! :)

dan you sould know you are one of the most lucky persons in the world. and you are doing a great job to us with so many videos! thank you very much and please continue!! in the video ma long super fh I think we can see he is really tired or he is slowing...I hope that is tired!

Yeah very tired! He was training so hard then in that video! Honestly I have never seen anything like it! Ding Ning was training so hard yesterday she was on the floor at the end!

I can only get in the training hall at the moment buddy. The problem is I have to be very careful with how much I do and don't do. Because I am filming I am a media representative here I have to be careful with asking for such things. but I will do my absolute best.

Amazing work Dan, really amazing. A big thank you. These guys do work insanely hard and focused, don't they? It's unbelievable sometimes. Day in and day out. See if you might catch up with Ma Long sometime. Now I'm all the more impatient for the WTTC to start if I wasn't already...;)

It really is 100% concentration, just incredible! They are all so ready for the world championships now! :)

Lucky you! If you take a picture with Ma Long that would be real succes :p
BTW can you take some pics or vid of yan an training? I really want to see his action :)

I will upload a video of Yan An shortly for you :) I will try on the Ma Long request.

Jo Dan can you get shots of their Equipment ? ;) so we could update that other Thread

It would be amazing wouldn't it! I can try but it really isn't easy.
