Paris Olympic Games 2024

Nice to finally see a big crowd and some atmosphere. Some of these WTT events are completely dead bar the Chinese fangirls.

Yeah this is amazing. I only started watching pro TT after covid so a big crowd with high stakes like this is a completely new experience watching live.

Were world championship events like this in the past?

Harimoto and Hayata just couldn't handle the pressure, and obviously should have practiced much more against pimples
They thought it would be an easy walkover. You could see Hayata smiling when they were down 1-2.

Hayata smiling as clown
Harimoto celebrate opponents mistakes...

Also looked like the ball didn't bounce much forward on some passive plays from Kim requiring timing adjustment which imo is really difficult in this situation.

Shades of Rio'16, when Kim Song I came outta nowhere and denied Ai Fukuhara

Ishikawa: How dare you to leave me out!

Olympic fever affects the performance adversely. Unruffled mind is the key.

Must be miserable to live in your world where people that smile deserve contempt.

Looks like Alexis has a good response for LYJ's BH flick receives. Seen that exact same point with him chop blocking that chiquita and then the ball being dumped into the net by Chen.

yes, when they're held in Europe or Asia. Other parts of the world, not so much

Also, can anyobdy in Japan help me with TVer and live viewing? I find it quite unintuitive, as it seems there's a couple tables at a time only... is there a way to specifiy a time schedule / table inetrest? any help with specific table/schedule would be very appeciated...

I wish Peacock had the option of picking which feed to watch. Only one table with commentary and they randomly cycle to it.

Hayata missed 2 crucial FHs on 2 gamepoints in G4. She could've just kept the ball on the table and let Harimoto finish it but she had to do it. Old habit dies hard. Once dumb, always dumb.

And that smile she picked up from Ito (as a way to stay positive) just doesn't fit her character. She should embrace her dumbness and "hone" it instead of playing mind games.

Must be miserable to live in your world where people that stay positive and laugh without any reason deserve contempt.

Those balls were high enough for it to be the right move to be finished by any player on every single occasion. What, you think she should've chopped the ball or something there? There are probably better moments to pick to back up your Hayata=dumb argument.

Speaking of missing FHs, Yuan has missed a good amount of absolute sitters in this match, and crucially at deuce contributing to a 4th game loss.

Something she's been doing a lot of recently in the past year I've noticed. Her FH smashes used to be a strong point but lately she's missed more than she's landed.

Sorry to burst your bubble. I live in a world that makes up the majority of the table tennis world.

I'm also surprised Adam is commentating HKG vs. HUN. FRA vs. TPE you would think have more crowd/viewer interest.

Yeah, I would say she is the weak link today.

Wow what a response in Game 5 after an extremely disappointing Game 4 result for the French team. 11-2

Lebrun is playing great doubles today. Yuan needs to pick it up a bit.
