    wish harimoto can receive his greatest return and gift at his age of 21 in Paris Olympic. He really deserves this.

    Even at 14-15, he said some really wise and inspiring things in his interviews

      @user_1abc 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Anybody can say wise things after memorising them as interviews could easily be scripted but to have a game like Harimoto even at age 20 is pretty impressive let alone beat players like Ma Long and Fan Zendong in your teens.

    • @chickenonabarrel
      @chickenonabarrel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@DioBrandotw1 I think it's far from disrespect. It proves that he musters up all of his strength and will to go up against his opponent, which shows his deepest understanding that the opponent is not someone to be trifled with. It also indicates his appreciative attitude towards every single point he manages to gain, which helps him build up his own courage. I don't see him throwing a tantrum for any point he loses.

    • @AJ-oi2dw
      @AJ-oi2dw 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I don't get why some think it's disrespectful. 😣 "Cho"-ing (Lol you know what I mean) is already part of the Table Tennis culture. Deal with it. I mean what's wrong with celebrating every point you win? And if you're his opponent, and you get distracted/annoyed by it? I think you're playing the wrong sport. Clearly his opponents don't mind because they're pro! Its just the fans who cry about it. I've been seeing a lot of hate towards this Kid for that reason. His shouting doesn't change the fact that he's soon gonna be the top player together with Lin Yun Ju. The Contrast is just funny to me because YunJu doesn't Cho at all. HAHAHA Both are good anyhow
