I'm happy Ai won.

Whaaaat ?! xD :) Did he left his box and started to shout that it was the Edge ?! Ohhh If so.. I LOVE THIS GUY :)

Its funny how some people lay blame on every single Chinese for the actions of one young Chinese girl. She clearly displayed bad sportsmanship but you cant say all or most Chinese act this way. Every nation produces bad apples.

I must admit after my first comments some four weeks ago and after many replays and discussions with team members, that the ball had indeed glazed the top edge of the table and the point should have been awarded to Ai. But it was such a close call and I would not condemn wen jia as a cheat. Rather I will praise Ai for her integrity and sportmanship.

Cute smile from Ai at the end, love it :) she's very humble and handled the whole situation well imo.

@bungsungwan Even a blind guy with a blindfold and no eyes would see it hit the side and from that angle it definitely did not glaze the side

In all honesty, the ball may have actually glazed the side of the table and not the edge. I would say we will need technial expertise to verify rather than to make rather emotional and subject comments as with the video commentator. There was definitely a 'kink' in the arc but we need to look at the flight of the ball from the straight line which we do not and as a result we will not know 100per cent if the ball glazed the edge or the side.

@kizaman

lol! dude, i am not judging china based upon this single situation. i have been to china twice, am married to a chinese woman, know many hundreds of chinese people, follow news from china pretty closely, and can conclusively state that china is massively fucked up socially. here are a couple additional illustrations: "my father is li gang!", watch?v=uqozC6kHQeI

chinese people need to be better educated in how to be a good person.

Its just bad sportsmanship that's all. Leave it at that. Politics and history should have no place in this game. Anyone whose talking shit about the countries based on this are just moronic and ignorant.
