What news about Adham Sharara?

[igorponger]

Yes, we miss him so much, indeed. We need him back, we need a learned engineer for president, not profanic politicanist bla-bla-bla.

There is a large number of people who would respond to the statement of A. S. needing to be ITTF prez once more by saying that the ones making such a statement should immediately impale themselves on the closest electric pole.

yeah, he has the title deed for that plot for the next 99 years.

I find it funny that Canada cannot fill its "10 man" national team.
is there only 9 man playing?
There was 10 last year.

I thought Canada was a hot destination.... what's taking so long? lol

Well, I haven't seen much Canadians taking part in WTT, including Youth events....
It is a bit sad

Eugene has only played twice this year, World Champs and Singapore Smash.
Zhang Mo has played 3 times, World Champs, Singapore Smash and WTT Contender Amman

Based on youth world ranking, Canada's top ranking (both boys and girl) is 2xx, near 300.
Only has like 3 or 4 events (if you take out USA and South America), there is lucky to have one outside the Americas.

South America has 4 youth contenders in the past 3 months and with 2 of them being back to back... how can you go to the one and not go to the other (which is like 2 days after the first).

A bit sad to see where Canada is at today.... so much for having Igor's favorite engineer at the helm (for how many decades now?)

That corrupt piece of shit liar that brought us the plastic ball as well as other changes whose goal is to line pockets instead of actually making the sport better? I don't think anyone in their right mind would miss him.

you know, with plastic balls, I airfreighted 10s of thousands of balls with no problem.
With these 40+ balls, it is a mission to "airfreight". Need so many "safely reports" (never the case with 40mm)

From another perspective, I told them... didn't you guys change the ball so it is now "safe" to transport.

This shows that less people give a two-hoots about politics of ITTF and more about equipment, specifically rubbers and blades ( in the order of importance ). We don't give a T I H S about 100mm++ ball or whatever coz ESN can always come out with a ESN 99 degree hardness sponge when the need arises. Hell yeah!

maybe 9 11 has something to do with this.

Yeah, but this guy has contributed to many of the equipment changes!!! so this should be a hot topic!!!

Perhaps he's been lurking in the wings thinking up some more equipment changes??? 50mm+ balls, pyramid bats, (even more scope for EJing there!!! and the manufacturers would be over the moon!! 4 sides now that would be a combination bat!!!)

Throw in some chicken and fries for good measure, plus a 24 hr free pass to watch paint dry might sway the scales!!!

I don't think so
September 11 was in 2001.
I airfreight hundreds of balls + hand carried on airplanes before and after 2001.

I came back to the sport in 2012 and air freighted balls in as "stock".
40+ came out officially in 2016

I doubt Gozo knows much of TT history to know who this guy is, the damage he had done to the sport world wide (and Canada - so bad that Canada don't really play internationals outside its own continent, and can't even full a 10-man men's team lineup....).

Glue ban caused rubber pricing to shoot up how many percentage?
Ball change raised the price of balls, by, how many folds?
