North Korean table tennis players seem to escape punishment for Olympic selfies, appear on TV unharmed
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/09/113_382753.html
North Korea's state-run broadcaster, Korean Central TV (KCTV) aired Wednesday footage of athletes and coaches training at the Pyongyang Youth Street Sports Village, emphasizing their efforts to bring honor to their country with gold medals. Among those featured were Kim Kum-yong and Ri Jong-sik, who won silver in the mixed doubles table tennis event.

In an interview, Kim said, "We gained valuable experience and lessons from last year's Asian Games and this year's Olympics. We are now rigorously training for upcoming international competitions."

haha, that is funny
CXT is in for her, maybe they just typed the wrong name
CXT will replace WMY’s position in WS and WD, but since the drawing of WT has been finished, CTTA not yet managed to adding CXT to the list.

When CXT got this message, she still in Beijing; this afternoon she just posted her lunch on her social media.

So happy for team Kazachstan.

Great ending, coming back from 10-8 in the 5th and win in front of their home crowd.
it's only day 1 and we've already got the contender for best team match of the tournament. NK player's technique is essentially the old Chinese style so watching them delivering fh blows is satisfying, but at the end they lack the variance in their game to make it through the home team

How did HK get seeded above JPN for WT? Or even KOR though that's more acceptable.

Some chinese fans seems to think that Japan has a chance of beating China in WT since WMY is not coming but the chances are still low.... CXT has 100% record against JPN player last cycle I believe? They don't even need WYD 😭😂😂😂
SYS will get two points for sure. I do wonder if CNT will play Kuai Man and if JNT will play Ito or a recovering Hayata.

CXT is no longer the obvious choice for No.3 singles after her loss to Miwa.

Same as the last edition, seeding for MT/WT is based on the results of the previous ATTC. CHN didn't play in 2021 and was unseeded in 2023 and completely messed up the group and main draw.
