Paris Olympic Games 2024

[AutomaticBackhand]

Interesting match in terms of performance from both players.

Truls playing either like a sliver medalist or like an annoyed teenager who doesn't give a fk.

And Dima is just Dima.

Nah, this guy is incredible… once he lets go of the game, then comes back and let’s go again and so on but thrives in the end. He’s proved he’s the king of comebacks in this tournament

Okay, so now Timo has to justify being picked over Franziska because Franziska would be the favorite over any player in this matchup.

Last set.. either Truls makes a point or he loses it. I don't know how Dima felt.. but I would say he was not in any form of control of what's happening.. in the last set I mean.

 

[Robin0910]

If Timo loses here he’s done and Franziska will experience the “Ma Long effect” which was caused by WCQ

German team about to retire.

I wonder whether getting zero medals at these games will trigger review of German TT and Rosskopf...

The last match for Timo for all of us to watch throughout his 25 year long international career.

Probably. On the women's side maybe too.

I mean it probably would have gone better had they chosen the players according to world ranking but that’s just my 2 cents

 

[v100ev]

Did the German women’s team or individuals even have a chance to reach a medal at this Olympics even with a healthy Nina?

Maybe with a healthy Han Ying and Nina..

 

[Robin0910]

Maybe with a healthy Han Ying and Nina..

Yeah, I completely forgot Han Ying. But this just proves that they need to train new elite players cause their best ones are getting older and injured

 

[Robin0910]

Btw why don’t they let the spare team member be at the bench?

 

[NextLevel]

This is exactly what I feared, Kallberg vs. Timo. Franziska and Nowitski watching the execution together.

Their performance in Busan probably scared them a bit because based on the team in Busan, that was the original plan.

No, but why was Sabine not chosen over Yuan Wan? Nana was also basically only there because she plays doubles with Nina and she wasn't a good choice for singles either, but I don't know if there were any stipulations for that.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

Anton seems to miss the second loop more frequently.

If the 3rd Ball attack gets returned, it gets difficult.

But I cant blame him , I got the same issue.

Also he can sometimes be hit or miss under pressure, especially against someone like Timo Boll.


Edit: nvm, hes too good.

The most damning part of this is that this is the same team that Germany beat in European games last year. And Franziska clinched the winning match then, the main difference though is that Dang beat Truls in singles if my memory serves me right.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

Germany 0-3 Sweden.

Franziska be like...

Franziska rolling on his bed right now
