It's a huge experience If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

OlympicsFan 791 Posted December 15, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 15, 2017 By reaching the quarterfinal in Astana, Dimitrij Ovtcharov becomes the first non-chinese world number 1 in almost 7 years (last non-chinese number 1 was Timo Boll in march 2011)! Just sad that there are no olympics or individual world championships next year, it would have been amazing to see a non-chinese world/olympic champion, i doubt that he can keep this level until 2020 and even if he does, it is very unlikely that Harimoto won't be absolutely unbeatable by then. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
