Whoever has a recording of Zhang Jike's song with sound gets a statue right outside TableTennisDaily's Headquarters.

Also zhang jike's interview with Sub

And .... Lee sang su and Zhang jike moments I'm curious about the story of this laughter













Maybe they are laughing at Niwa

This commentator is the best, who in the world calls ZJK Jackie Chan?

'' I said he is a good player and a pop star '' where the hell they got this guy who knows not a single word about table tennis and the players ... The worst commentator ... was happy if Adam.b was in his shoes ...

 

[Atas Newton]

I'm dying here, the commentator lists Grand Slam winners, calls JOW John Oev Wellner, LGL Louis Goodland (not kidding), never mentions Kong Linghui, calls ZJK Jay Kay lol

I find it easier to watch the live with volume muted.

I disagree with too many things he say.

 

[RidTheKid]

So it's not just me then. I think the commentator is the worst I've ever had the displeasure to "run into", that man hurts my ears. Who at ITTF owed him money?

 

[Opalescent]

i haven't had the chance to watch this yet, but how does the coaches work?

For the euro team i imagine it's less of an issue because the players should be able to understand enough english, but with the asia team they have Chinese, japanese and korean players, which means if there is one coach for the whole team he needs to speak english a lot, but the players might not understand it?

Do they have multiple coaches for each team?

 

[Atas Newton]

There's one Chinese coach in Team Asia, I imagine if Koki Niwa takes a timeout he says "gambare!" and if it's Lee Sangsu it's "hwaiting!" plus a bit of pantomime.

It is already a rock solid fact that Samsonov is finished. I think the video just tells us that Chuang is finished too now.

@NextLevel when we see this video above, i think we can now say that Samsonov is finished LOL

His game is beyond repair though it begs the question of why would anyone repair such a beautiful game?

I love Vladi, i just wanted to joke
More seriously, do we really need this Asia/Europe competition ??? its only exhibition games and the format makes no sense. There are already too many TT events... Whats the point ??
