[Tony's Table Tennis]

When does the team get announced?

until the final submissions, anything is possible (in terms of changes).
especially with CNT
someone could just fall "injured", its not like we haven't seen that before haha

What are the thoughts of Tibet users on this matter? @zeio

LSW was replaced as she was "injured" and no longer available for the 3rd team spot at the Tokyo 2020 OG

Some Tieba users felt it was a shame ML didn't get to have a crack at another grand slam but most are resigned to the fact that ML lost too much to WCQ.

There's this conspiracy theory about how Zhang Yining was conveniently interviewed yesterday to softly pave the way for CNT to announce someone else who is NOT CM as the other WS player. In her expert opinion, SYS and WMY have the most advanced skills, including being the most resilient, among the women's team

That’s life in CNT

Things has improved a lot since the days of Deng Yaping, Chen Jing etc
But still today, you need to obey what the boss says, as each players contribution and sacrifice is for the “greater good”.

The ones who don’t obey gets forced out, and that is why CJ, GJ, TFM all “left” after CJ failed to follow with orders.
Giving USA and Taiwan high level coaches

Official - CM for WS. WMY for WT. Reserve: WYD.
ML made MT. LJK as reserve.

well, that is my view from last year and possibly the strongest possible for this Olympic games.
I would of wanted to bring on LSD as reserve, but I wouldn't want him to play if one of the teams are injured... LJK is still the next best.

But we all know, LSD will still be going as a sparing partner and to get a close view of the olympics

I heard from a friend in Kyushu that the lackluster losses from Hirano, Harimoto and Hayata was a way to get Big dream right where they wanted her, in the singles and not just for the team. A beautiful orchestra.

Weird conspiracy theory but they were not in control of Manika Batra vs Wang Manyu which was the deciding factor at the end.

While we are at it...

Am I the only one thinking that Zhang Yining had the most potential of a triple grand slam even more so than Ma Long?

I still have the feeling she wasn't at her peak when she retired in 2009 at the age of 27.
It was ridiculous to hear, that she retired after the world title because nobody could reach her level at that time.
Highly doubt Dining would have even qualified for the Olympics in 2012 if she was still active.

Still laughing at her getting scolded for giving a point to fukuhara that obviously and she replied to the coach with "I don't know what I can play that she can make a point except a serve error"

 

[Robin0910]

So who are elected for the remaining spots in China? It came out today right?

then you haven't heard of Deng Yaping,

 

[JJ Ng]

then you haven't heard of Deng Yaping,

Deng Yaping is the most dominant female player ever! Move aside Wang Nan, Zhang Yining and Sun Yingsha.
