When a team has a budget that allows it to build Ira own replica of the playing hall and get tournament balls in advance for private practice and fly out a boat load of training partners, you know it is playing a different game from everyone else.

Spin and more spin.

Togami is too stupid. I like him and I think he has the biggest ceiling like no ceiling mffuca with Lil Wayne Voice but his Table Tennis IQ is low. What makes Waldner and Ma long or Jay Z and Lil Wayne as GOATS ?
Longevity and IQ. Smart moves. Knowledge.
Togami is spitting his super power shots and overshoot everything.
Ma long used Spirit, TB alc and he played like Togami super mechanical and super fast but in old celluloid balls you need get a lot of knowledge to fight with spinny loopers and know how to read a spin, how to put spin and get time to next powershoot and how to treat the ball well. Togami is like me white : 2400 elo in London opening and then 1000 elo when I play with black. His attacking skills are high but defensive skills are low. He is very good in open rallies but when someone counter his powershoots.... He is kind of second tier player. Karlsson, Ovtcharov and Truls are the best counter players on the table from Europe.

the next flash point for cyber nonsense that somehow relates to TT may have just started.
On 8-12 Hayata started a Weibo account, and within 24 hrs garnered a following of 150,000 Chinese.
On 8-13, barely 24 hrs after, in an reception, when asked, she said…
"I also want to go to the Kamikaze Museum in Kagoshima and realize that being alive and being able to play table tennis like this is not something to be taken for granted," she said, naming the Chiran Kamikaze Peace Hall, which displays materials related to the kamikaze attacks of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Corps, which were organized at the end of World War II, as a place she wants to go.
The bombardment on her has began at Weibo, and picking up steam. 😮

It did indeed hinder her carrier, she was on the way to become the female goat. But she still is, she needs to win the next 2 Olympics which will be extremely hard because of the selection. For now, she’s closer to female Wang Hao. Btw, not cheering Chen Meng because of this is not justified

I came across an interview of JPN mens after the bronze medal lost, Togami was srsly holding back his tears and when Harimoto said all the responsibilities were on him, he shook his head multiple times. I hope this could be a career changing moment for Togami, so he can reflect on his game as a whole to evolve. He's 23 now, by LA28 he'll be 27, dude can't rely on his muscle forever.

there is because someone taught these chinese netizens that they have the right to boss other people around and harass or bully your opinion down the throat of others is perfectly normal.....

you mean obeyable Japanese tt girl?
Hayata's score just dropped big time....
Have you wondered why they've not attempted to bully other Japanese athletes on Weibo, and it took Hayata pining for a WW2 memorial museum for them to unleash their fury? The issue of WW2 is very sensitive to the chinese
This reaction is absolutely normal everywhere in the world.
Try posing as a German, then hop on Twitter and say you enjoyed going to a museum that honors the Nazis because it teaches you to appreciate life and freedom, and see how Jews, Russians, other Europeans and NAFO folks react to that. The deluge of hurtful missives would overwhelm you.
But I'm sure in your totally sane mind, when the Europeans do it, it's perfectly normal, but when the Chinese do it, someone must have taught them to be bullies.

人蠢冇藥醫。Well, more than being dumb, she is sick. Of all the places to visit in Kagoshima (I saw the Sakurajima not long ago), and Nagasaki is not that far away, she had to rub it in. Talk about getting on the wrong side of 1/5 humanity.
As if being born on the wrong month and wrong day was not enough, she had to tell her wish of visiting one of the most controversial sites on Earth that symbolize militarism, which is still lurking in modern Japan. And she had to pick the date close to the surrender of Japan in WWII (who keeps playing the victim year to year), when a Japanese veteran chose to apologize for the anti-human war crimes by Unit 731, not the only but the most notorious, which is denied by the Japanese government to this day.
Kihara, OTOH, actually paid a visit to the WWII memorial site during Singapore Smash 2023.

What Japan did to China could happen over the straits in a couple of years, this time from China to Taiwan
It'd be nothing unremarkable for the CCP to open a museum dedicated to the "great reunification/rejuvenation of the Chinese nation". By 2050, hyper jingoistic Chinese would go to the museum and proclaim how the museum fills them with pride after years of humiliation. I hope people remain clear eyed and allow them to express their "opinion."
At least it's just opinions uh??

fan group has dropped from 160k to 130k since afternoon, worse of all, both FZD and SYS who were the first ‘biggy’ to endorse her had “withdrawn/unfriended” her. The attacks 3k+ now have gone vitriol and vicious.
It’s also on every Japanese newspaper, both left & right, and made top search on couple of Chinese search engines.
DUMB !!
I suspect the next tournament with a sizeable Chinese audience may not even be playable for her.
8-15 would be a proper day to mount a massive champagne to crush her.
Good thing she fulfilled her wish to play in the Olympics and got medals already.
The famous saying “Hayata r…” ☹️…
