  • watch ping pong douche style

  • @drmnys well she was also kicked off the team because of her age and level PLUS China has just so many players... retired players can't make a very good living in China how is she selfish? her country turned her off and thousands of others why can't she do the same? look at singapore most of their players are cast offs why should they help china?

  • So she turned her back on her country that made her into the player she is, just so she could fulfill her selfish ambition of competing in the Olympics, and that too against her own country. Sad.

  • @lazy8books you are critisizing the delivery of someone who placed 5th in the 2008 Olympis after spending several years in retirement. take a minute to think about what you saying. i bet she forgot more about table tennis that you will ever know.

  • @lazy8books I'll bet you anything that if you ask Timo himself if he dares to claim he used to be the best TT player in the world. NOT a single second he is the best TT player in the world. Walder said that and everybody accepted. As for Timo... he is good, but overcome the Chinese is away from his ability.

  • The training condition is like... crap.

    Forgive my choice of word, this is even far from good level of American Ameture TT condition.

  • @lazy8books Don't make me laugh, you comparing Timo Boll to a woman?

  • Age is not too big a problem, especially for women players. It is because their games tend to require less power and less court coverage. Being consistent and experienced in reading the games of both sides are more important. But no doubt, coaches are very important.

  • Wow nice vid mate 5*. Check out my channel btw

  • Love her forehand loop!!!!
