Paris Olympic Games 2024

It's a reminder how dynamic sports is. SYB had not been playing well leading up to the Olympics, but the ability has been there in the past. And actually she played pretty incredible not that long ago at the World Cup just losing to Hayata 4-3.

Pyon's game is so good to watch. she plays a very text book style game, with focus on control, spin. Her movement on the court is incredible. I watch a lot of TT matches on YouTube, but I never saw her before.

The North Koreans literally do not play WTT tournaments. Her record consists of just one tournament: the Asian Games to qualify for the Olympics. They are the eternal dark horses.

Felix's services are all illegal. 40°/45° services.

Finally changing the dynamic. LYJ has turned it into a real battle now while before it was a tactical and strategic nightmare. Now it is down to who plays better.

 

[turbozed]

LYJ is extremely dialed in and now Felix has to up his game in response.

These guys are slinging the ball around in some amazing rallies at the moment. Not sure if LYJ wants to keep it a firefight.

Game 7 of course

LYJ has missed plenty of forehand shots in this match so far, but Felix outdid him in G6.

 

[turbozed]

Damn Felix's FH is failing him in the 6th. Felix missed on at least 5 or 6 FHs that were intended to be winners. He lands most of those and that would've been an easy win.

LYJ so inconsistent now in the decider. It's painful to watch.

Fantastic final set by Felix. I'm glad he's through, I love this crowd and atmosphere.

 

[mikeytt]

Felix ascended in that last game wow

 

[NextLevel]

Hopefully France can host another WTTC soon, I will be there for sure.

LYJ is one of my favorite players to watch, but I can see the significance of this young 17 yr old French kid at the Olympics in Paris handling the pressure. Well done, Felix. Just an incredible match.

MS QF
F. Lebrun 4-3 LYJ (7, -7, 8, -4, 8, -8, 6)
G7 70, 73, 103, 106, 116

Felix has done some work on his FH stroke. Looks a bit different than before. How well his FH plays will be pivotal in the SF.

Lebrun brothers getting into this form just in time for Paris Olympics is a boon for the popularity of table tennis.

At least for one more match we get to experience this incredible crowd and atmosphere. I doubt we get to see anything close to it for a few years after that.

Two more because semifinal losers will play for bronze.
