Just returned back home so I missed it, but still very nice results from him.

Vladimir Samsonov is being, sort of, humiliated by Lee Sang-su

Wow, Xu Xin came from 5-10 down in the final game against Lin Gaoyuan all the way to a 12-10 win and a quarter final spot

I start to watch the last 2 days of the world championship, i'm not a table tennis expert, (well, i don't know nothing about it ) but it's again an all-chinese competition?

Indian women's doubles made it to the QF for the 1st time ever. So it was an great one for Indians.

Amazing match between Dima and Koki Niwa, matche will be decided in game 7. Incredibly close match.

And down goes Ovtcharov's home dream.

Heartbreaking loss for Dima, he never got into his best shape during this tournament. Koki Niwa on the other hand played his best table tennis, japanese table tennis is really taking huge steps forward. Maybe Boll can somehow keep the german colors alive during this tournament ...

In the end everyone who isnt chinese is playing for bronze at best, so no reason to be too sad, Boll and Ovtcharov have won tons of minor medals before. Tomokazu winning a medal is my only wish left, would be so cool to see (the half-chinese japanese player) Tomokazu beating a chinese player. Chinese players and officials are probably already shivering when thinking about the future, this might be their last chance for a very long time to win an individual gold medal on the mens side.
