Paris Olympic Games 2024

FZD is so obviously tired as well. No sign of a monster from the singles final.

FZD looks like he’s just done with the Olympics. But defending China’s honor is the only reason he’s still playing.

Xiao Pang hit the Mbappe celly! Love it, even though I hate Real Madrid haha

 

[NextLevel]

He started the fifth game too badly to cause any tension.

Parallel and inside out winner shots have been huge in Paris I feel like.

I have been saying/writing this for years, there is far too little parallel play or body play in table tennis. They are all madly trained with diagonal drills.

WCQ is about to destroy Kristian.

Now that all the matches have gone to the decider Kallberg shall not break the sequence.

Karlsson.

 

[travelt123]

Unless Karlsson plays spectacularly well, WCQ will win

Unless Karlsson plays spectacularly well, WCQ will win

Karlsson has beaten WCQ once and has also led 2-0 before a comeback. So he can play him for sure.

Kristian seems to have exceptional upper body strength, but dropping a bit of weight would probably do wonders for his speed and agility.

well, wang Chuqin magically learned to lob overnight

 

[driversbeat]

WCQ finally wins against lob with a dropshot

It's crazy how much FZD's hand shakes when he serves.

Giving new meaning to being a shake hand racket player

 

[travelt123]

It's a game of unforced errors and one shot points.

It’s ridiculous that Ma Long doesn’t play a single singles match at his last Olympics. I feel like it’s rather his decision than not getting the chance in men’s team.

Nope, the Chinese ranking system is clearly defined. Ma Long wasn't no 1 or 2, that's it.
He shouldn't have retired for 2022 really, took him too long to regain his level

 

[backspacer]

Lucky edge strikes again in deuce.

 

[Robin0910]

How’s this always the sequence with elite Chinese players? When the foreign opponent hardly crawls back and wins a game to go to the deciders the Chinese always utterly destroy them in the deciding set

its happening again

 

[NextLevel]

It can't be an accident that China is winning all.these game 5s...

 

[Robin0910]

Well, at least they all went to the decider. Sweden indisputably deserved to be in the finals

 

[Robin0910]

shame we couldn't see ma long play a single singles match

 

[driversbeat]

I'm not confident that the girls' final will be as competitive tomorrow based on Miwa's performance yesterday but hopefully they prove me wrong.
