Korea beat HKG 3-0!
My prediction for the prize is on if there arent any shocks-i doubt there will be but I have to say Joo was scarily good today!

hehe all those people that picked JPN must be kicking themselves..

No surprises in the Women Team Final!

Oh and congrats to China's women team too for keeping their record as steady as ever!

Seriously this is nonsens. . at least we say so, when something is meaningless..
Why they should play???
They seriously should give them gold medals just for comming there, send them home and thats it!!
All the play was completely useless.. Chinese women lost 4 games in whole team event!
I mean - what is the point???
They really should give them medals and let others compete for silver and bronze medals instead of this..
They are so good that it feels really unfair for others to play with them.

I really didnt like watching chinese women team play.
No matter what the opponents brought, what they came up with, it was no matter for the result.

And hell yeah, it was so boring..
3:0, 3:0, 3:0, 3:0 .. sometimes 3:1, wov! That had to be somene really good .. uff ..

So that is my view ..

I didn't even watch Women's Team matches. I've only checked the end of Japan-Singapore because I heard about the team crying and stuff.

 

[jmillsy2]

The chinese are too good...i think its about time the other countries started communicating, holding joint training camps with all the top players on a REGULAR basis, to ensure high quality practice...only then will the ROW catch up with China.

its a long road, but i have faith it may happen one day!

Why did Hongkong setup Leung as the first player against Germany? Tang Peng and Jiang Tainyi are playing way better.. Blocking and some weak loops was all he could do against Boll. Not that I care but it's like Germany would setup Steger as their first player.

Leung would have had to play boll at one point anyway, if they had swapped him and jiang around then he would play boll 4th...i guess they thought jiang's chancs would be better later on in the match, and didnt want tang to play timo, they would have wanted him to play steger last so thats why he played econd i guess...lol

 

[YosuaYosan]

Aaaand China for the men's team gold medal..

No surprise really..

 

[Blackbird74]

[jmillsy2]

a very valiant effort by korea, i thought...joo and ryu both played really well! they're just a tad too old now methinks

 

[azlan]

As expected...don't know whether this is healthy for the sport.

 

[renben]

It was an exciting match between joo n zjk nevertheless. Joo had an outstanding game mixing up his chops with toospins, sidespins and even backhand flicks with his long pips. Zjk showed his mettle as Olympic champion by taking his game up a notch in the 3rd and 4th games

 

[mgpyone]

Ma Long's superb yesterday. his strong top spins around the both corner killed Ryu Seung Min.

The full highlight is here.
