Well, Fan Zhendong was affectionately given the nickname Little Chubby, and he turned out okay.

Everybody like this. Cute as kid and ugly when get older )))

 

[blahness]

The ugly comments are quite unfair. He obviously put in a lot of bulk and muscle and looks more like a yakuza boss now lol.... he also hits hard like a truck now unlike Harimoto so it is well worth it.

Tomo is what, 178? They look like they're about the same height. Weight wise, he looks like he's maybe 55-60kg 65-75kg roughly. Need mass if you want to hit hard on the backhand like he and LJK does.

178cm and 55-60kg, these numbers doht add up. a lean slim slender sportsman at 178cm would weigh 70kg, that's a person without much mass (fat or muscle). a manly person at 178cm would weigh 78kg, i.e. carrying some muscles, or mass.

he might be 178cm tall. but then his weight would be 78kg (being heavier than Tomo).

harimoto definitely is not 178 as stated in wikipedia. wiki is tricky, it states ma long is 175 cm, and I think he is a few cm taller , harimoto probably around 168-170 in my eyes

Tomo is almost certainly taller than 170. He just looks much shorter due to his proportions.

LYJ is listed as 174 and he looked a smidge shorter than Sora at this last Cup. LYJ looks like the same height as FZD and Tomo back in 2019, and a little shorter than Ma Long at frankfurt (2023). Now, FZD is also listed as 175, and allegedly (says LGL) Ma Long likes to wear lifts - he looked like he was the same height as Timothy Chalamet in that promo photo. So assuming he wears something like 3-5 cm lifts that makes the 175 probable. So either FZD/LYJ is not 175 or ML is wearing lifts in that LYJ photo, OR Ma Long is actually 178~.

Assuming FZD is 175, and Tomo was 175 back in 2019 when he was 18, it's not out of the question he grew 3 cm.

At Bangkok 2024 Sora looks like he's a tiny bit shorter than Tomo, and it's also possible he grew since then.

Either way, thicc bois hit hard. And we need that guy from TikTok to math their real heights.

I meant 65-75. Hard to tell with the shirts, but table tennis players aren't very muscular, so I'm on the conservative side, mid seventies.

I noticed you used someone slim and athletic, like a long distance runner. Sora is not slim and athletic lol. But he's also not built like a sprinter - they have much more muscle. I think Sora is pretty close to Liang Jingkun or FZD in build, and FZD said he's 76-77 back in 2018. So maybe he's 80+ now.

The reason I can't imagine he's above 80 is because 1) he doesn't move like he's above 80kg and 2) someone like Li Dayin, who is 175, competed at 81 kg. There's not a chance in hell or on Earth that Sora has anything close to that amount of musculation. Not now nor ever, and muscle is about 18% more dense than fat.

Damn I am bored today.
