I have worked as a chess coach on an international level for cadet events and played them many times myself when I was a kid, I have to say I have seen some pretty disgusting behaviours from parents (overwhelmingly it's the parents who do these things) and the occasional kid but not to this extent...I wonder if the lady he walks towards at the end of the clip is his parent/minder? They seemed fine with what he did (its obviously impossible to know for sure since the video finishes).

For me I would be curious to know what was going before this during the match? Controversial serve faults, edges, pre-existing hatred etc? I can't quite imagine what can possibly come even close to justifying this but still it's hard to judge otherwise. That was a sad moment for table tennis...sigh

This seems to be the case all around the world - with all kinds of cultural backgrounds.

The kids are either too spoiled, thus the parents have dug a sink hole for themselves on the discipline/educational part or the parents simply don't have time for the kids.

In South Africa, some community - will allow kids under 6 years old (maybe 4 years old) to run around on the streets.
Obviously - how do I know? because something horrible happened to these unsupervised children and it appeared on the national news.
Same time when these kids are out side, then they learn bad habits from older/naughty kids, or even badly influenced by gangsters.

On the other side of the world, with 1 child policy, 2 parents = 1 kid, 4 grand parent = 1 grand kid, 8 great grand parent = 1 great grand kid, so basically life earnings of the previous generation all goes to this 1 kid.
Result = very spoiled and they can just do what they want.

Obviously this Russian kid plays sports (normally sporting kids are not so problematic), but then, his behaviour clearly shows how he was educated.
He needs a good hiding and need a hard core coach like me, to punish him for playing so lousy and blaiming the lost on others.

I agree 100 percent with you.he needs discipline,which includes a good hiding.
Often this is a result of parents mollycoddling their children,and making the child feel they are always right.often these kids are seen instructing the parents what to do.

The result-undisciplined,illmanered youngsters.

I dont know what happined before, but the 'umpire' was looking weird at the kid after the last point. Maybe he made some decision which was in disadvantage of the kid and they dissagreed but the umpire decides in the end. And the kid may started acting annoying in front of the umpire.

Its stupid they did not upload the whole match so you can see everything that happined during the match.

What I can see is a yellow card, a red card, loosing 3-0 and 11-6
Doubt there was any "pressure/close encounter", unless the other 2 was in the deuces.

Apparently this dude did get his silver medal

His idol must be Zhang Jike then :D Thanks to some violence records from the champion, which people still support and think its JUST a victorious emotion, I am sorry to say that the kids from over the world will never know any story behind or any explanation which adults made to support their idol, the kids more or less lack of critical thinking and analysis skill, lack of social experience as well, so they JUST simply follow some reaction from their idols after the game, no matter win or lose. We will see more in future, dun worry :)

Amature TT is a whole different world without coached needing to be hardcore, BUT in the school athlete system, just failing a little even in practice gets you the riot act read to while all the athletes are lined up standing in front of the coach. Do something like not show fight or do something like that lad did to DQ you or lose in a bad way>>> ??? OMG that kid will get a tongue lashing and his feeling hurt something fierce.

We need some context here....because it is simply illogical and zero-sense making for a kid to do that to the umpire....
If I was to punch someone after a loss, its got to be the opponent if he was:
A. Being a dick
B. Winning purely on lucky shots. (I usually just go home and drown my sorrows if thats the case)
C. He punches me.

Does anyone have any idea what was between the kid and the umpire beforehand?

in 2013 in october i was competing in my national yearly tournament i lost 3/2 in the final he crushed me 11-2 in the last set i had the chance to be the champion of my country on the under 13 standards i shook his hand and accepted defeat it just meant i had to try harder next year which is soon. that is good sportsmanship. now when i sat down i was watching the semi final match of the under 16 one guy lost 3/2 after he was winning 0/2 and u will never guess what he did he through his racket at the umpire he was banned from table tennis for a year they didnt want to make it permenent because he is a national team player. now i couldnt beleive this kid pushed the umpire of his chair. i would have expected him to push his opponent if he was angry but what did the umpire have to do with it.

I heard the umpire sort of fixed and was blatantly being biased to the winner kid.....now thats pretty understandable....
