Hey guys I managed to get the final set - An epic match in the teams event between North Korea and China, very rare footage was only able to film the final set. Awesome rallies especially towards the end of the set, and the celebration! Enjoy

Awesome rallies, thanks for sharing this video Sarah. That guy in blue does have amazing fast FH, suprised his hand doesn't come off
and it's funny how he cleaned his rubbers by rubbing/scarping them on the table's edge.

holy shit.. i dont think ive seen a single Bh used in the whole game from the chinese player... it would be interesting to see him vs the top players. also camera angle spot on

You would not believe how humid Korea is.

What a great match. Two observations:

Did you notice the floor at the end of the table? It looks like the service line at Wimbledon after a week of play - all scarred up. Under the table the floor looks pristine.
What a spectacular decision on the part of the defender to loop the serve down match point at 9-10. He had pushed back every serve up to that point in the game. Gutsy.
