It is hard to bet on who will win between Korea and Germany. I'm expecting a close match.

You are actually right, the odds are 1.90 for Korea and 1.80 for Germany.

 

[Cornel]

Ding Ning lost a match to Mima Ito and Liu Shiwen lost to Doi Hoi Kem. This is clearly evidence they both suck.

Everyone lost at least a match in their life. The world is made of suckers.

 

[Cornel]

Wow, Steger nominated as No.1, interesting move.

 

[sgroustra]

First up: Bastian Steger vs. Jung Youngsik

Didn't expect Steger to play first, but maybe Timo wasn't fit enough for 2 singles?

 

[Cornel]

If the Korean team keeps standing up at each point won by JYS the will get tired soon

 

[eyepop]

The first game was closer than I expected.

 

[Ilia Minkin]

Wow, Steger nominated as No.1, interesting move.

That is a logical move, Rosskopf wants to avoid the 1/2 scenario. He probably bets on winning the pair and Dima playing the 4th match.

Steger going for the upset! it's like he suddenly remembered he could play Table Tennis!

That is a logical move, Rosskopf wants to avoid the 1/2 scenario. He probably bets on winning the pair and Dima playing the 4th match.

No, he wants to guarantee that Timo will play Joo.

 

[Jarryd Cathcart]

Just wanted to say the commentary on the BBC for this match and several others has made me physically ill. Absolutely no idea about the mechanics or the rules of the game it angers me to listen to this rubbish at the Olympic Games.

 

[Cornel]

What a point won by Steger!

 

[eyepop]

OMG!!!! Whatta point! Go Steger!

 

[The Omega Man]

Holy moly Steger is killing it!!!!!

 

[Cornel]

Another one!

 

[waldner101]

damn Steger and his lobs and the counters are insane

 

[The Omega Man]

Steger has a chance, he has to keep controlling the pace of the game, if he lets Jeoung start attacking again he is done for, Steger needs to initiate and go for those crazy parallel BH, Jeoung is feeling the pressure.

 

[waldner101]

steger vs jung younsik = michael maze vs hao shuai

 

[Cornel]

When Steger starts lobbing the crowd already starts yelling "yeah!"
