Team favorites for tokyo (évent world team qualification Portugal? )thanks 

 

I'd say Hong Kong, Austria, Poland, Korea, Singapore, Portugal, Romania, Taipei - in women's competition

 

I'm not very familiar with men's table tennis, so I skip.

France just defeated Russia in the women's tournament (3-1). Is that quite a big upset ?

At least two of the three wins came from (slight) favourites at the bookmakers, which suggests it's not a huge upset if it is one

GB women not looking too good. 2 matches down against Spain. Is it correct there are 9 places available for Men and Women each?

Correct, which means every women's team that lost in the first round is eliminated from Olympic qualification. The losers of the round of 16 will have a "second chance" tournament with the winner grabbing the final spot.

That's not a very smart statement

They’ll probably just go Unified Korea in Table Tennis now.
