Here is all of the commentary:
“Look at the forehand”
“Oh, he missed”
listen to the chinese commentators, they hire ex-champions or coaches as guest commentator. In chinese, there's a saying 内行看门道，外行看热闹。 Meaning insiders appreciate skills, outsiders appreciate thrill. Obviously, many commentators are outsiders.

@@ecashmarketing thats what they should do indeed, get the top players to commentate, I feel like the ITTF doesnt care too much about their work though they just treat it too poorly in general

2:29 "His serves have backspin and topspin"
hahaha
ah yes, the north wind indeed blows west
That’s called flat hit😂😂
In context - "tricky serves" relating to the harder to predict combination of topspin and backspin serves - the latter being the less common type (?)
Schrodinger's Serve
This man called Wang Hao, was defeated by 3 diffrent players in 3 consecutive Olympics finals
Sad but the funny truth
He and lee chong wei same
so sad for him!
@Miller Hansen it depends on different person, it's incredible for anyone but not him, he was a table tennis king back in the days, but Olympic was just not his game
@@btushar7420 but wang has couple of Olympic golds
Wow, better video quality in 2008 than ITTF videos in 2019/20.
The Chinese are the Jamaican sprinters of table tennis.
🎯😅
Nah Jamaican sprinters aren’t that dominant
@@zachfriedman4263 yes they are, or at least ethnicity Jamaicans
@@jerrylee7866 well Italia win not jama in Tokio
@@adrianciobanu5856 nice grammar
This is probably the most technical match i've ever seen, the ability of these two guys is so good
easy.
Too much errors, Ma Long&Fun much better
@@chandlerbingm1 but what kinda generation is ma long and fan in? this match was in 2008 dude,
@@Danny-fg4ggbut the comment wasn’t in 2008 🤡
@@chandlerbingm1Fan has very average serve-receiving techniques and his forehand is weak.He's anything but technical.
The Greatest Match of all the times. Olympic gold at Beijing the world capital of ping pong.
2008 was the year where all the legendary tennis table players were in activity.
Congrats Monsieur Ma Lin !
I'm starting to think that the commentator knows nothing about table tennis
whohasbigbrain? well i guess if he pronounces some skills of ping pong i think he will know
Um let me think .............DEFINITELY
@@maxdixon8575 hahajat
Also the cameraman and the director
hahaah your video are funny nice singing
Olympics needs to take more advantage of their youtube channel. This video is gold
One of the best matches ive ever seen from Ma Lin, what a perfomance! well deserved that golden medal.
Too much errors, Ma Long&Fun much better
@@chandlerbingm1 Too much errors 😂😂😂
This is absolutely one of the best Olympic gold medal match
Thanks for uploading in high quality 1080p.
Which bring backspin with the usual forehand uh... fore topspin. 2:28
Incredible commentary
Translation: Ma Lin can do no spin serve(cuz -1+1=0)😂
Don’t forget the incredible “court coverage”
2:50 obviously very viscous forehands by Wang Hao here..
You can tell these words just poped up in his head and he tried his best to assembly them in a reasonable order😂
Wang is a legend. Three Olympic medals in a roll. Nobody has ever done it.
Yeah he might have never won a gold medal, but having to stay in form for 12 years to reach the olympics finals is impressive.
@@thenewguy7527 8 years bro.
@@reinaldopessoa2603 > 12 years... You have to prove yourself among incredibly brutal Chinese competition to even get to the Olympics. It's not like he just started playing just before his first Olympics and then just happened to fall into a spot.
@@CalvinAytch but we weren't talking about proving yourself to stay relevant, he said staying in form to reach finals at all three Olympics. A Chinese player of Wang's caliber was probably in form at age 14 so proving ground would be a lot longer.
@@CalvinAytch 8 years, 3 Olympics is 8 years apart
Feb 19th, happy birthday to you Ma Lin
I'm watching this in 2022 and the match was so action-packed. I watched it knowing Wang Hao never won an Olympic singles gold medal but I still felt so bad for him seeing him lose.
The last match was totally suspense-filled. I love Wang Hao and hope to play reverse penhold backhand as well as he does someday.
Hope we can play together one day, my brother.
@@oluwatosinobaseki4087 Sure bro. I hope so too 💪
You will
Great idea to retrospectively announce events. This format has potential to really give incredible commentary since it's not happening in real time. There could be point by point detail on technique, execution, stats, and biographical tid bits.
The highest and the last summit of the penholder. I hope Felix and Dang can be the next summit.
This is a match that I will watch it again and again
This table tennis from 2008 is AMAZING.
Two penholders legends
I love ma lin he is truly awesome.
Ma Lin= Legend
How powerful is the Chinese table tennis team?
Me: 22:08
When the entire team wins in the singles also
And the regulations were also changed because of that xd
wanghao deserved an olympics champion!
Video quality is just incredible.
So true, for 2008 🤯
This is awesome! Could you also put Ma Long vs Zhang Jike final in this throwback series please? Thank you!
That's also a great suggestion!
@@Olympics PLEASE!
Yes..please
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ok sorry... I’m done
@@Olympics please do it :)
The video quality is so much better.
Pls hire someone who has knowledge of the sport and can give more interesting insights and commentary in the game
What hindsights. We can see everything in a simple glance.
In this match Ma Lin is using the Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive blade with the DHS Skyline NEO TG2 on the forehand and the Butterfly Bryce Speed FX on the backhand side, in case anyone is wanting to use a setup that won a gold medal.
Mind you, they were using the 40mm celluloid ball back in 2008. It's spinnier and a bit faster than the modern ABS 40+ ball. Nevertheless, this setup is one of the best of all-time. Almost any level player can use it and it's not too expensive either.
11:55 godlike returns
Впечатляющий камбэк ,возможно решающий момент всего финального матча!
this thumbnail is the closest image to the olympic logo for TT
That was the era of great players!
Thanks for doing what the official ITTF can't do, uploading a nice quality piece of history, LOVE the crowd, chinese really jump out of theirs seats with every point, we should learn from them. Also love chinese players, there are no comparison to them
Not when they are losing, like Dota 2 Major lol
ittf at least has real commentary and people who understand the game
Zhang Jike was playing exceptionally great in 2012 or else Wang Hao could have got his Gold medal in 2012.
It's unfortunate to see such a great player stranded with 3 singles Silver.
Wang Hao still has 4 grandslam titles ie one world championship and 3 world cups
@@alberthuang4868 that call major tittle.. not grand slam! Grand means players who wont atleast 1x WTTC 1x WC and 1x Olympic
The desire to win from Ma Lin is unbelievable
Amazing video quality
Ittf please watch and learn
I love ma Lin♥️
Awesome quality!
I was supporting the Chinese player among the two. You have no idea how happy I am now.
Prime Ma Lin was insane.
Oh yes, definitely. His footwork, oversight and amazing services made him one of the best of all time. He and his teammates are espacially continued and strengthened Chinas evident and continuing dominance.
The last true penholder.
@Olympic you should post the 2016 Rio matches aswell, just like you did with 2012 London, I really wanna watch it, commmn u can do it
20:08 Ma Long be like --- wait wait, i have not yet retired
I love how Wang Hao was able to fool Ma Lin with a serve at 8:15 after all their hours of playing together and against each other.
Two of four legendary C-Pen players (besides XX and Liu Guoliang), that totally deserves their thrones in the Hall of table tennis fame! Huge forehand vs perfect RPB... What a battle! Penhold - one love!
Man the commentating is just horrendous
Nah you gotta hear the guy who did the Asia vs Europe 2018 that was horrendous, this gus wasn't bad.
@@reinaldopessoa2603 Is it the one where the guy couldn't pronounce Zhang Jike's name??
@@user-sq9sh9ge3l yessss!!!
@@reinaldopessoa2603 yeah that one terrible too 🤣🤣
Adam Bobrow is the best
The world owes Wang Hao an Olympic Gold Medal :(
I know it’s harsh, but no one really owes him any title. He’s the only Chinese player who participated in Olympic Games for 3 times, but he never seized his opportunities. I love him a lot but that’s the truth.
The same fake for Badminton Lee Chong Wei, 3 Olympic final but failed to nail the gold! 😭. Nevertheless, lcw and Wang Hao still the legends in their area!
Ma lin. Extraordinary style.
The two best penhold users at that time!!
Penholder vs. Penholder nice Game!!
Greatest ever
Ma lin is legend
Dear @olympic please upload or relive the women's VB prelim round between China vs Cuba at the 2008 Beijing og
Penhold v penhold in an Olympic final - something we'll never see again
Idk about never. I doubt penhold will ever die (there will be at least 1 or 2 folks using it) while table tennis is around, but it would just be rare to see.
@@joshuaellis7121 Yes there are still one or two top Asian players using the grip but the chances of two of them making a major final are about zero. I play penhold and that works for me as a club player but at the top levels, due to rubber and bat technology, shakehanders can generate too much power and spin and exploit the grip's weaknesses too easily. For me it's a shame because penholders always bring a different dimension to the game. Tactically, without the different grips and defensive players around, the top end of the game has become a bit stale.
Just like serve and volley in tennis.
22:02 When you and the squad get matched in the same game.
Difficulty level: China
Best Penholders all times!
xu Xin better than both
@@danielplainview4587 Hands Right. Xu xin left
馬琳がこんなに嬉しそうにしてるの初めて見た
Could you do Waldner's gold medal matches?
Must be difficult to commentate a prerecorded VOD that keeps jumping a few points ahead! Would have liked to see the full VOD with original commentary :)
What do you need a another commentary for. This is table tennis we can see everything in a glance. Get a grip of yourself.
I'd like to see some speed skating too. From pyeongchang. Many matches are not there.
MA LIN - SUPER!!!
Ma long vs zhang jike.. Rio 16. Please upload the full video of it
ワンハオのバックハンドのときフリーハンド跳ねる感じすき
You would think we would have full video coverage of the entire Gold Medal match...
i miss the penhold play.............
I wish you post the whole match
1/2/3 verry good👏👏👏👍👍👍
6:56 this one for the trditional penholders
please publish any badminton finals
Hey, I didn't remembered this olympics Beijing 2008! Yeah, Chinese always dominated Table Tennis.
Used to
They didn't dominate TT in the 90s
@@shankardas6938 Wow, used to, you think China lost podium in TT, how confident you are
China's dominance started in the late 90s to early 2000s. Before that they were certainly strong but internationally balanced overall.
Well Forest Gump did won Gold on tablr tennis
2008 Beijing Olympic= Ma Lin🎉(china)
2012 London Olympic= Zhang J. K 🎉(China)
2016 Rio Olympic= Ma Long🎉(China)
2020 Tokyo Olympic= Ma Long🎉(China)

Table tennis men‘s team final 2008 beijing china vs germany
Both were so nervous in the beginning of the match, Hao seems even more.
Ang pogi ni wang haooooo
I spent a decade for the warm up first shot .
Great table tennis match great intensity from both players lovely
the commentary is brutal. Also, why does he pronounce it wAng?
tradition bh 2004, 2008 vs WH rpb 2004,2008, traditional bh wins again after Athens Olympic in 2004!
可以的！That’s nice
Oh Ma! Brilliant!!!
quarantine binge watch
so sad for Wang Hao two tines into final olympic table tennis..but got siver only..unlucky for him..but i still love wang hao..cute man chinese
2 melhores classineta do mundo
Ma Lin é caneteiro clássico. Apesar da raquete arredondada, o backhand dele é de caneteiro
直拍的最后荣光
The defense causing the error 💀
Why are the smow-motions cut out????
16:05
"now Wang Hao is starting to understand" 💀
That was so intense! Wow!!
lol i was impressed for a minute. I thought grandmaster Wang Hao was the same dude as the table tennis champ. nope just a popular name.
will there be a final of two penholders again? QAQ
Penhold❤
Grande!
Where is Skeet Final throwback
2:53 ah yes, "vicious forehand" -_-
lmao
When decisive moments come you gotto be ready. Somehow WH never been ready for those moments. He has lost so many finals. Mental toughness is the most important skill in sport, you gotta train that hard.
You should give these angles to @Wtt , @Olympics
The commentary is poor but the speech is adorable
Please, publish the men doubles final, Barcelona 92 !
Thanks for the suggestion, Alberto. We'll look into it. Stay tuned!
