Jiang was very very strong mentally here, the Waldner he beat here was a monster to meet. He crushed the players to the final and dominated until in the middle of the second set, Waldner won an incredible duel to something like 9-3, then Jiang came back to win. Waldner did not loose many matches playing like he did here, so full respect to Jiang -for me this was his best performance.
@@benthekeeshond545 Of course! But in his memoirs he also wrote that the reduced weight made him quicker. Also I suspect that he played a bit more relaxed without pressure.
Waldner is my favorite player of all time, but it think the stubbornness his coach has talked about may be showing here. I think repeatedly serving long, especially in crucial points in the match, cost him the title here.
Because they convert to a larger and heavier ball. Slower with lower rpm. Easier to return and therefore longer rallies. The TT serves with less spin and this is how the inside-the-table backhand flip is possible. If we are playing with the 38mm ball, the backhand flip shot will be utterly useless.

J.J perfomance is too impresive . Enjoyed both of them. Their movements style like dancers. Great both.
I became a penholder in 1987 because of this JJ man.
One of the best game. Like J J very much
Waldner is really wonderful player. But, I love Jiang's style.
江嘉良超帅~ 很有李小龙的感觉
Which television somewhere in the world was televising this 1987 Table Tennis Tournament match & who were the people calling it?
Isn't this obvious? They were speaking Chinese.
Back in time when Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee had a battle in TT
Johnny,
But poor Bruce was long gone before this match. Bruce Lee, similar to many celebrities, was abusive with drugs.
The whole Swedish team were ill due to diarrhea during the 1987 game in India. I just heard about this. Very impressive performance. Both of you!
It made Waldner loose many pounds and make him understand he had to be more fit and quick than before. It paid off :))

I think it was his training that carried him throughout the competitions, not that he lost 10 pounds due to diarrhea.

It was a disentary
we love Jiang Jialiang

Both are great players
江嘉良即係江嘉良不愧世界冠軍
瓦尔德内尔也有过手软的时候!哈哈哈哈😀
Jiang Jialiang looks like Bruce Lee!
Jiang was the Bruce Lee of table tennis !!! 😃
Waldner is the best.
J.J. was the best, cuz he won from behind against the youngster. You serve long to penholders cuz the chinese are too good against short serves.
JJ successor currently is Ma Long, do you see that in him?
好像那个时候打球没有现在运动量大

3-1 ganó Bruce Lee.
Too fast for today's players
Lmao :'D
And too spinny for them to handle. The plastic ball has low rpm.
@@benthekeeshond545 good point. Now All we need is the use of plastic bats.
@@dickn.ormous1064 Hein???
@@benthekeeshond545 You're absolutely right!
