No. And it is pretty close between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng using the official table but a forgone conclusion on the men's side.
Does it mean that SYS isn't going? Same like in the old days when LSW was no 1 in the world but never played olympics. Also interesting is if they send ML for the 3rd olympics title.

Harimoto: It wasn't that I played poorly at World Cup 2024.

Sun Yingsha is automatic. She is so far ahead she was probably qualified in January. Same with Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin. ML will probably play teams since he and Wang are a good doubles team. It will take a major injury to Fan or Wang for Ma Long to have a chance.

Yeah. Hmm, tried USA/Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore VPN endpoints - no livestream for T1. Tried France - profit. Strange.
Use Canada. But something is probably wrong and you need to refresh. Table 1 or Infinity Arena is streaming for sure.

Manika has answered all the critics (many of them Indian).
It is insane how the youtube viewers act like she isn't clearly their best player because of some losses here and there. In time, they will turn on Sreeja for no good reason as well. Me, i just appreciate Quadri because when he is gone, Nigeria might be looking at a long winter in the talent pool.

Those hidden serves can be very troubling, and he even has some nasty not so obviously hidden ones as well. The difference ro me though is that Lin will be taught to take them late and hisnrally game is pretty strong on both sides vis Liang who doesn't move as well.
I know a few pro players who think Alamiyan has the best serve in the sport. He's playing great but still hard to believe he beat Liang.

Yes. I can easily see that. Because for them even with hiding, it takes a high level of skill to get them to misread serve trajectories.

And now the livestream from the Infinity Arena appeared on WTT's YT channel without using any VPNs. Here's the link in case it does not show up for someone else:

England is one of the countries that traditionally doesn't need a VPN so your issues were interesting. I can't access the link you just posted from the USA.

Yeah, cannot recall the last time having to use the VPN for this. Could've been some weird youtube app/caching glitch.
P.S.: I hate geo-blocking with a passion! 😠
