While everyone is talking about techniques and equipment, I feel like I am with the tabloid department.
In other news.... it has been reported that the Chinese Women's National Team will don new outfits at the East Asian Games.
The big stars will not be attending, but more well known entries include Cao Zhen, Yao Yan, and Wen Jia.

If female Tennis players can wear skirts and still look decent why not the female TT players? Female TT players wearing skirts will most likely attract more audiences, specially the males. TT Skirt design can be very innovative and can make the TT female looks more attractive. The female TT players will play harder once they dress up nicely and professionally.

Tennis has never been any good since they stoped wearing skirts and shoving balls up there undies if you ask me :p. So this is good, might give a chance for table tennis to be worth watching for the casual observer. Only problem is the Asian girls don't have wide hips and don't look very female in a European way but anyway at least they are trying :)

Hm, I didn't realize they were playing naked. Now, with dresses, they look half-naked. |

It won't make a difference. I've seen Zhang Yining play in a dress before. No biggie. I don't know why you would want to look at them that way anyhow. They are athletes, not supermodels.

Nothing wrong with short hair. I think Liu Shiwen is pretty cute. But, I mean, none of them are supermodels. They're not (if I should so bluntly put it) meant to be directed at a horny male audience, or maybe that's how the business runs, and I just don't know it. |

Many of the women are wearing the cool skirts that almost look like shorts...those are nice. I dont care for the 1950's style look of those skirts above.
Also, I would love to hear the conversation between Guo Yue and Kong Ling Hui about getting her into one of them 1950'ssissy skirts, or the new ones...haaaa |

Those are SKORTS ( combination of skirtson the outside with built in shorts inside). Not skirts and not dresses!!! Very common attire in tennis or hiking/camping. Even if you try to flip the outter layer up, all you see will be the shorts. Nothing too exciting but definitely more feminine.

Some time ago, they was a statement of direction that they would promote the look of 'fitness beauty'.
I think this is a first step in that direction, and if nothing else, it puts the idea of image appeal in the mind of fans, and the players. Eventually, new generations of players will start to think about their look as well as their techniques.
Perhaps some day, the players will be allowed to wear individual outfit in pro-tour events, instead of team uniforms. A well-packaged player can have more fan support and big sponsorship contracts.
Should be good for TT business.

+1 w/ one stipulation "allowed to wear individual outfit in pro-tour events" but make it in a particular color scheme so players of different/same contingent/s can still be identified by country The women should not dress like men because they are not men. |

It's not that the women dress like men. They dress in whatever attire is practical. That only makes sense. You don't compete at the Olympics for swimming in a skirt or jeans for a reason. I don't care what they do or what they change for the dress code as long as people that participate in sports are dressed according to the requirements of their sport. I don't really understand what dressing like men even means. There are few pieces of clothing that are specific to men. Men's underwear is probably the only example (but even women's underwear can be very similar to men's underwear) I can think of off the top of my head. Shorts, t-shirts, and the like are all universal.

"The female TT players will play harder once they dress up nicely and professional." -Wealthweb
"The women should not dress like men because they are not men." -Heimdallalso What is this? The 1920s? No offense, but most of the replies here reek of covert sexism. I feel like I should say something here simply because this forum is male dominated. Skirts have no athletic advantage over shorts. You all only want female players to wear skirts because you're used to women wearing skirts and that you think they look 'prettier' and more 'feminine'. |

Holy smoke! She looks more like a super model than a professional TT athlete to me. With such a near God presentation it is very difficult for an atheist male audience, who is usually spiritually weak minded, to focus just on the ball and not on the human structure. He is not supposed to be horny but now he is tempted to talk about the wonderful cuteness of the sexy lady player rather her TT technique with his equally excited male buddies. Regarding the introduction of the skirts or skorts, whatever we call it, my speculation is, most male audiences will have no problem in accepting it because they are generous and have a great passion on beautiful things or beings. As for the female audiences, I suspect they may not want to go for it because they only want their boyfriends or husbands to focus on the TT balls, absolutely not on the long legs or the mysteriously designed skirt that may inspire some unwanted imagination. I have to caution those spiritually weak minded males that are not supposed to be horny but horny anyway, please follow the orders of your lovely girlfriends or wives, keep your eyes on the TT ball only, never mind looking at the face, the body, the arms and legs of the lady TT player...no matter how attractive they are. If you do not have the discipline to behave the way your girlfriend wants, don't invite her to the TT tournaments. There is a potential for unexpected conflict of interest, or even an unnecessary breakup if the girlfriend gets carried away. Once the female jealousy is triggered it is the beginning of the end of the world. |
