Hi, are you still in pattaya? Send a message to your handy last week, but no reply. We are looking for sb to play pingpong with....if you are still in thailand, pls write me susan_shen21@hotmail.com thanks

nothing changed in the 2012 january work table tennis rankings so I won't bother making a video.

[aznfluteboy]

even though I am a supporter of team Korea, I know team China will beat them since China has such a powerful offense that Ryu Seung Min, Joo Se-Hyuk, and Oh Sang Eun can't handle, what is your opinion? Any teams/players you think could take on the Chinese?

[johnbozi]

@aznfluteboy no team can - but individual suprise upsets for sure. there are sporadic players all over the place. Im thinking Bojan tokic

[aznfluteboy]

@johnbozi can't wait, the anticipation is killing me :P

[1988Farewell]

ma long wont play at olympics! only zhang jike and wang hao can play the single tournament!ma long has only the chance to start for his team china!

[johnbozi]

@1988Farewell why won't ma long play the olympics?

[1988Farewell]

@johnbozi they changed the rules of qualification and the system for the single tournament!

every nation will only play with 2 players in single!!!!!

1. zhang jike won the world championships and qualified as nr. 1 for china!

2. wang hao was ranked nr. 1 of the world - so he got 2nd place for china!

its a little bit stupid i think, because now, ma long is nr. 1 of the world....but it doesnt matter - the dicision is taken lang ago!

ma long will play for his team i think!

[johnbozi]

@1988Farewell dam I should have made that bet!! thanks for the info man...

[1988Farewell]

@johnbozi your welcome!

[aznfluteboy]

Too bad for Samsonov and Wang Hao, but the sport needs changes and upsets, can't wait for the actual olympics. But I'm sad Min Ryu Seung lost TT^TT 3rd favorite player, 3rd to Hyuk Joo Se and Ma Lin

[Darkoriangio]

hey is that ma lins racket wat ur holding? short handle or long handle

[johnbozi]

@Darkoriangio nah just a yasaka balsa blade

[Darkoriangio]

@johnbozi ya thats wat im saying yasaka malin extra offensive blade right?

[johnbozi]

@Darkoriangio it has the same colours and look but I really don't think its the same name.

[TTridata]

I needed this update, I have been busy lately

[johnbozi]

@TTridata thanks, I want to do these regularly, the next ones will be better, I learnt as I went a long how to mix videos and um where I should position my ugly face :)

[NZttGuru]

Anyone else think it's amazing that Koki Niwa is 2nd in Under 21s!!?!

He's still a junior next year!

[johnbozi]

@NZttGuru I loved watching him in the teams ages ago - don't really follow juniors so much, how old is he now? I guess about 20?

[NZttGuru]

@johnbozi no, Koki Niwa's the young one, left handed. Just won the world junior championships. He's 17 I think...

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

oh lol, your pronunciation of Zhang Jike is hilariously 1000-times-over incorrect. no offense. Nobody pronounces his name right, except those who actually know something about Mandarin Chinese...

I've just never heard it pronounced like that, so I thought it was funny.

[johnbozi]

@DaKrazedKyubizt ah man if you only knew how hard it was for me to say the russian names as well Skachkov lol

[DKPOWA]

Hey John, what´s Ma Long´s new blade? I cant recognize it from the video. Ma Long will win the olympics unless Wang Hao gets in his best shape ever ;)

[stickyr34]

I didn't need the ITTF to tell me that! Ma Long looked unstoppable in the last couple of video i've seen with him! If Wang Hao gets back on form he might upset him!

[johnbozi]

@stickyr34 I get bored of watching Hao, not sure why. I enjoy watching the best young Chinese the most because they are so fast.

[stickyr34]

@johnbozi I agree, but he gets the job done! I don't know if its efficiency but he tries to win with the least unforced errors and basically keeps glamour to a minimum! lol

He has still earned my respect and if he gets motivated, will be as hard to beat as Ma Long!
