For those who don't know, I am the guy who is playing with Amy at the 0:59-1:00 mark. Amy is an incredible player. I played her once in the tournament long time ago and I barely beat her 3-2 in the match and 11-9 in the last game and she was 6 years old back then.
@Erhnam_Djinn while I don’t disagree with the point you’re attempting to make, because of the world wide expansion of basketball including many players being NBA players outside of the US, not so much of a great comparison anymore. If you are following the games that were the precursor of the Olympics, it’s amazing we came out on top in some of them.
@@whatevereyewant Not exactly. In 2016 in the London Olympics 16 year old American Areil Hsing played out of her mind in the Olympics taking 2 games off world #1 Li XiaoXia who went on to win the gold nedal. Her teammate Lily Zhang is in her 3rd Olynpics in these games so they are definitely developing with American born players. They train in China too.
@psier78 I’m aware, that’s why I said 32 or 16. I mean, someone really low ranked took a game of of Sha Sha this Olympics so far. They are getting better, but it’s also very heavily reliant on the draw. You can’t say for certain without that luck you’ll see Americans in top 16. Maybe part of that isn’t even skill but more so opportunities to play under that type of pressure which is where other countries succeed.
as a kid I would just watch the "big events" basketball, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, few others I'm forgetting. now I wanna watch table tennis, badminton, archery, fencing lol
Sorry but there's no hope against the Chinese in TT. The Chinese NT trains 10 hours a day everyday in a bootcamp since they were born. All their coaches are past World and Olympic champions. It's simply impossible to compete when you have to juggle school and college with the sport. The closest the US have gotten was when Ariel Hsing took 2 games off Li Xiaoxia (the eventual Olympic champion) in London 2012.
@@nathanx.675 American Rulon Gardner years back over that Russian legend who lost once in his career in Greco-Roman Roman wrestling. Don't give me this Chinese superiority business. Anyone can lose.
I am a tennis fan.I just started watching ping pong this Olympics. I must say it's really good tv. Involvement of coaches, not much difference in the level of men-women-old-young-different body types is really interesting to watch. Once a player has the technique and skill body types, age groups is not a barrier. Love rooting for older, players with a body type of not a typical athlete. 🏓 Is definitely good tv
When I was a kid, my parents would enroll my siblings and I in all sort of extracurricular classes such as piano, voice, chess, French, Spanish, and other classes. When tables tennis was getting really popular here in the US, our dad enrolled us in a summer ping pong class. I can serve and rally, but nowhere near good enough for tournaments 😅. Anyways, our teacher taught us how to serve and the best way he described it was to think of your arm like a T-Rex’s arm when serving. You need to sort of retract and make it look shorter, keeping it close to your body. So, we call it a T-Rex serve. 😂
lol if you watch the Chinese teams train, their training partners are leagues bound better than the rest of world players competing. It’s just a whole different level. Any of these foreign players need to play club competition in China if they want to improve. Any international competition is like a watered down version of Chinese league
My dear Laura and James I thank you for this lovely video, you have no idea how much I love Ping pong, any place with any one we could challenge doubles.
USA winning a medal is impossible, because of the world’s biggest powerhouses like China, Germany, France, etc will be playing and they all have multiple generations of top players and coaches who won titles. Meanwhile USA is still like a newbie to the sport compared to everyone else. Like tell me the last title the USA won in table tennis.
@@Whoiamiagain Firsts happen all the time. Just like when no one could beat the Dream Team in Olympic basketball. USA basketball was undefeated all time for years in basketball then the world caught up.
@@k7amv not only Japan almost all professional table tennis have been in training camp in China but I am talking about performance the Japanese are catching the Chinese
The woman asked Amy if the serve she did had a special name. Amy was about to answer the question at 4:27 (and I think she meant to say that it was the "pendulum serve"), but they cut her off before she even finished saying the word "pendulum". I find this quite rude.
2:37 "I've never seen anything like that" thats EXACTLY what I thought when I was watching the olympic TT matches, it's such a strange looking action! i dont even know, like, they put the ball in their palm and bring it up really close to their face, then they, like, stomp their feet, and jerk the hand holding the ball, downwards to release the ball, or something lmao. its really weird
Good shot? I'll say her odds of at winning gold is less than 1%. So far, all the international tournaments she played, she's far away from reaching any medals.
@@michaelshaw2786 Sport is very competitive. An opponent can have an off day or you can have a good streak. As long as you have the skills to qualify to contend for any of the medals you have a shot.
For women team, it's all Chinese blood. Interestingly, in US, the top level table tennis has been dominated by Chinese blood for many years and now adding India blood in recent years.
I've never seen a white kid training in any considerable length of time at the TT clubs I play at. Probably except for a couple of children of players who migrate here from Eastern Europe countries. So it's quite natural that US team consists of only Asian Americans.
@@chubun6631 For Americans (white and black), Table Tennis and Badminton never been their play list for sporting, compared to Tennis for instance. Don't know why these two popular sports in other country, but have a little attention in the US. That's why these two sports don't have many white or black athletes in it. Another thing, probably these two sports seldom promoted and reported by US local medias. Even in US schools, we seldom see they will put Badminton and Table Tennis as physical education or exercise. If you ask people about these sports, I believe most of them never know badminton and table tennis exist.
Prize money in table tennis is not attractive enough for Americans to play compared to tennis. I play both sports, and table tennis is a bit more difficult than tennis in terms of skill and physical fitness. Table tennis players need to join the national team to participate in major events, which adds to the uncertainty. If tennis rules were applied, the top 30 players in the world would likely be Chinese.
I would disagree that TT is more difficult than Tennis. In terms of physical fitness, just wear a heart rate monitor and calorie counter device when you play a match in a tournament, then compare the results. Your average heart beat rate is probably 10-15 beats/sec higher when playing Tennis, and calorie number maybe twice higher. I would say it took me 3-5 years to learn and use effectively all TT strokes (except for chopping). I've playing Tennis for 20+ years and still make double faults or blow backhand put aways as do most recreational Tennis players.
And that why Team USA have a Chinese are Asian American in the Team. Plus you don’t use the money into sports you think you not good at just the one you can win gold and medals. Not like China they do and it show as it doing better in other sports not only in it nations sports. Like Swimming running and lot off others sports and break world record and so. You think about it what it be like in 10 are more year time China win world cup on football.
