Table Tennis

I’ve been keeping an eye on ES and ES2, and I'm pretty sure there will be some streams coming up too 🤷

Rakovac really found their groove after dropping six in a row while trailing 7-5 against leadership, but honestly, they’ve got serious potential—even the commentators can't stop raving about them.

Both our guys failed. Gaćina's out.

Zoki got hit with the same thing 🙏

So, today at the ES, they only showed the mixed doubles matches, which is kind of a bummer because that China vs. Poland match was actually incredible.

Gaćina might actually have a shot in the next round, but unfortunately, Zoki is facing Ovcharov. The matchups are Tošić/Primorac versus Kolarov/Gaćina. Both pairs made it through the first round, but Primorac and Tošić are already out, while the other duo is struggling with a 3:0 deficit and a 5-4 score.

Ovcharov vs. Tang on US TV... honestly, that could be a hell of a match.

Looks like Gavin is dropping a 2-1 game to Samsonov.

They ended up losing 4-1. Our guys really struggled at this championship.

Could someone please break down the difference between looping and counterlooping in table tennis for me?
Thanks

It’s honestly pathetic how nobody is saying anything here. I guess there isn't a single soul on this forum actually following table tennis anymore? When was the last time we even made it to a semifinal—if that ever happened? Massive congrats to our national team players, though.
How are the ladies looking? How many of them are making it into the "elite" group, and what are our actual chances of moving forward?

It’s honestly a bit of a shame that nobody is saying anything here—I guess I have to ask, is there actually anyone on this forum who follows table tennis closely? When was the last time we even made it to a semifinal, if ever? Huge congrats to the national team players, though!
How are the women doing? How many of them are making it into the "elite" group, and what are our actual odds of moving forward?

Way to go, guys. The women didn't quite pull it off, though—they lost to Slovakia 3:1.

The last time we snagged a team medal was back in 2007 in New York City (we took silver, but Germany ended up being better).

Man, Gachina is absolutely tearing through Mengele right now... I mean, he was the favorite all along, but seeing him play with this kind of flair? It's something else...😲

Mad respect.

Does anyone here actually know if we have ever competed in the World Team Cup—you know, one of those invitation-only tournaments?... If we actually did, when was it and what kind of standing did we manage to grab?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a partner for some casual ping pong—just
something recreational and purely for fun.
I’m an amateur player—never had any formal training or played professionally—but I'm self-taught and, honestly, I play pretty well for someone without a coach. I've got plenty of drive, so if you feel the same way...
The reason I'm posting is that I don't have anyone to play with right now, and I'm really feeling the itch—I've been playing non-stop lately and I miss having a real opponent.
It doesn't need to be a daily thing, but even just three or four times a month would be great.
I'd be looking to play somewhere around Washington, D.C. or maybe Newark.
If anyone is interested, please shoot me a DM so we can work out the details.
I really appreciate it, thanks a lot! 👍

Hey everyone, does anyone know where I can play some table tennis in Miami? I’m not looking for a club or anything formal—just somewhere recreational where I can pay a quick fee, or maybe even an outdoor stone table where I can just show up with my own gear. To save some time, I'll skip the usual suggestions: there's nothing left over in Santa Monica, and that old cat place is closed. Thanks in advance for the help! 🙂

I see Dick's Sporting Goods has a table for ping pong available.. Price is alright, I suppose. I don't have one yet, but if I could scrape the funds together, I'd buy it.

Dick's Sporting Goods actually has killer prices. I ordered some stuff online and had it delivered right to my place in Miami

Just dropping this here too—looking for a table tennis partner in Washington, D.C. Hit me up if you're interested...

Qatar just pulled off a massive upset by winning the Arab Table Tennis Championship for the first time ever.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a huge deal—just another tournament win—but there’s a bit of a local connection here: their head coach is actually my friend, Jacob Krivic, that man from Osijek. 👍

In the men's division, Germany took gold again... even without Ovtcharov or Bollo. A massive upset for second place by the Russians, using the youngest lineup ever seen in an EP final, averaging just 19.7 years old...
