Pride is an important motivation. You think Wang Manyu will lose to Kuai Man from 2-0 up but beat Harimoto from 0-2 down because Kuai Man is better than Harimoto?

Nah, enough CNT players play harder against foreigners than vs teammates for it just to be about the round ball.

Every one has pride
No one looses on purpose
Not even against teammates

Timo 2005 is definitely better in terms of the opponents being better than the current crop of players but what Hugo has accomplished for Brazil is unprecedented territory. I can imagine more kids in Brazil will want to become table tennis players after this World Cup win.
