@hckosice In case you missed it, Lubomir Pistej kicked out 11th seed Jung of South Korea at the world champs   (then beat Finnish Olah and is in the 3rd round now)

 

Oh and Dutch Li Jie kicked out two Slovak girls in the first two rounds, sorry

Notice the common thing - ball. Slovaks are probably too busy with the pucks.

I had missed it as well, but saw it now when checking the results because something big happened in the men's singles.....6th seed Jun Mizutani (Olympic bronze in Rio) got kicked out by 13 (!!!) year old fellow Japanese Tomokazu Harimoto

I see there is no age limit in table tennis.

Japan has an amazing team in table tennis. In women;s team: two girls are born in 2000 and one in 1999 + they have few older players.. And men;s team is also very young.

Well, would be nice to go into next Olympics knowing that all-Chinese finals in singles are not happening 100%...
