WOW I can't believe Miwa saved that net ball.

Saved the edge ball in Game 1 of doubles too.

This girl's reactions are incredible

effing white hair Watanabe looking like lemons and nodding his head lmao, when will JTTA kick his ass off the staff

Don’t kick him off just yet, he’s needed for scapegoat / blame game time.

Some hope still left thankfully with Miwa winning the first game.

Let's go Miwa! She is fighting so hard!

 

[turbozed]

Well hold on a second. We finally get a game closed out. I was about to go to the bar for a bday party but now I might be stuck here to see how this plays out

Miwa performed the best today.

Did Adam just call Miwa "Mima Ito"?

The crowd is like 90% Chinese fans.

 

[Janard]

Does an injured Hayata really want to play SYS and risk having the loss on her shoulders though? Lol.

Was the same in the men's team final.

Chinese fans bought Gold medal tickets early because they knew they'd be in it I guess. If you're Japan you expect the women to get there maybe. But Swedish fans probably didn't expect to be in the match and so I'm guessing a few paid the high prices for it.

Miwa queen of saves.

 

[Sageofchess]

Do you guys really think Miwa can beat WMY? I think it's gonna be hard

Miwa performed the best today.

Told you she's not the weakest but a volatile variable.

Harimoto: 200
Hirano: 50
Hayata: -200

It'll take a lot but she's proving her team selection to those who feel that Ito should have been chosen for her experience, especially after that semifinal.

 

[turbozed]

If you guys are wondering what the characters 必勝 mean for the Japanese fans (on signs and headbands). It means "certain victory."

That's as overly optimistic as it gets against the Chinese but I appreciate it lol

If not now, then soon, is my impression. I think what she does right is that she adds elements to her gameplay that gain in sophistication, but only moves on to the next one once she's mastered the previous one.

I mean, not within a game, but tournament after tournament.

Japan stays next to the best, not bad outcome, indeed.

Yes, Mr. King even bought expensive plane tickets in time for this.

I don't think I've ever seen a female player play a backhand counter loop from far behind against a smash. Miwa's playing the table tennis of her life but it's still 2-1 for WMY. That's how good China is.

Kind of makes me sad French people and other Europeans are possibly missing out because the Chinese fans are just so quick with tickets. The ratio is definitely crazy. A lot of my club mates went there for previous rounds, but it was too expensive for me.
