Paris Olympic Games 2024

What's with the extremely loud cheering coming from for the other tables? That's the loudest I've ever heard a TT crowd get in a long time.

Was it for Bernie?

No idea tbh I've only been watching Table 2

*edit* I think it was for Omar

Cho kind of found his way back into the game.

Before, he looked like he just woke up from coma.

Brutal
He was some people's dark horse when predictions were reeled out. Just like that, that dream is over.

Wang Yang is making WCQ sweat.

 

[flermbert]

yang wang is looking great, wang chuqin will need to step it up

I have been a fan if Kanak's play style for a long time. He has a stable FH, spinny and consistent. Kanak goes for consistency versus power. He is what we called a controller type player. He also has good blocking skills.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

WCQ seems to have improved his serves in terms of legality.

Or it might because he's playing a defender where good serves barely matter.

 

[M51]

The battle of Wangs is just stunning to behold, these two are really whipping it out.

Not exactly a walk in the park for WCQ. Wonderful stuff.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

I'm rooting for Wang!

Man this crowd is awesome. There was a great rally between Doo Hoi Kem and the North Korean Player Park and the crowd cheered extra loud for the gameplay.

I can't imagine either of these girls having a big fan section, so the fact that people are there cheering on plays instead of just players is great and something I wish we saw more of.

DHK 1-4 Pyon Song Gyong (-8, -7, 10, -7, -4)

This one was expected. DHK has been in a slump in WS after suffering from the golfer's elbow.

 

[Migzkulit]

Brutal
He was some people's dark horse when predictions were reeled out. Just like that, that dream is over.

I always thought it was too early for him to be men's singles. But he is 21 and he has to start sometime.

Hayata is on a mission speedrunning the match.

EDIT: Switched over to Kallberg to see him using the hook serve now which looks illegal to me.

EDIT 2: Looks fine with his back towards the camera. Strange to see him use a new serve now of all times, though.

 

[Leno]

Kallberg game 7.
Somehow he seems so overwhelmed when he is attacking.

 

[mikeytt]

Go togami

 

[Atas Newton]

Kallberg just complained to the umpire about Saheed's serve?

 

[turbozed]

Some really heavy support for the Congolese player against Kallberg. Anyone know how became such a fan favorite?

He even got a standing ovation after losing a tight 7th game. There's gotta be a story behind this right?

 

[Atas Newton]

There's gotta be a story behind this right

the story is called David vs Goliath, I think there was nothing in it besides people cheering for the underdog
