Kasumi after reading zeio's posts:

Part of the reason for Mizutani to ease on the pedal, as he told on TV, was that his body could not keep up. He started noticing that around 26. We will likely never see the Mizutani at Rio Olympics again.

Weird line-up by Germany

I guess the plan is to let Hugo take his two points and win everything else.

what happened to timmo?

 

[Xylit]

Timo Boll has problems with his Nervus ischiadicus and Patrick Franziska is still suffering from his thigh strain. Moreover, apparantly Ovtcharov was not sure whether he is able to continue his participation in this event the day before yesterday. Now he has no choice but play. That is what German mytischtennis has posted.

Anyway, this sucks!

 

[Ilia Minkin]

Is Dima still suffering from his injury he got recently?

 

[Garrison]

And Ovtcharov previously stated that he doesn't expect to be at his fullest in this event... What a bummer. I hope they put everything into the semi-/final

 

[Xylit]

Is Dima still suffering from his injury he got recently?

That is not explained further there. It is just said that he is still not in the best of health.

Jeong Younsik and Jang Woojin using h3 neo as fh rubber...anyone can confirm this?

 

[Ranger-man]

I am rooting for Germany although I have to say I have become a huge Hugo Calderano fan after seeing him play at these championships. I wish Boll was playing.

Someone please guide me on how I can bypass the ittv and watch it live off the restrictions

Get a browser with VPN and watch from a country or continent that isn't banned. It might be a bit slower but it is better. Do beware as over time, the ITTF will sell more and more rights and this will make it harder to watch from more and more places.

hahaha the commentators just quoted Dan the tabletennisdaily man! Very nice!

 

[Xylit]

What a perfect vertical high toss of the ball Calderano has. The ball exactly comes down from where Calderano has tossed it in the air. Amazing

Dan co-commentating with Adam at table 1?

Edit:
Ah yes, Adam has just called him "Dan"

 

[zeio]

Brazil deserves a medal. Go for it, Calderano!

 

[Ilia Minkin]

Go Filus

 

[Garrison]

Jouti outclassed. Ovtcharov's match will most likely be the decider

 

[zeio]

This WTTC is full of crap - so many top players play like crap.

FZD plays like crap.
ML plays like crap.
LGY didn't even get a chance to play like crap.
Boll plays like crap.
Ovtcharov plays like crap.
WCT plays like crap.
Niwa plays like crap.
Gauzy plays like crap.

That's like 8 of the Top 10 players.
