@Jim T
I can see your point, but when He Zhi Wen was playing in ECL he was playing against Schlager and other top players like Ryu Seung Min etc so naturally when they are looping 5 or 6 balls at him his style would look good as it is based on blocking and counter attacking. If HZW was to play in WVC I'm sure that his level would look alot lower as his generation don't have a power looping game. Same for DY, he would also look alot better in ECL!!

Wow, it must have been pretty amazing... I should have gone too  If you don't mind sharing with us - how expensive was it? I mean the participation fee and the hotels etc. |

I agree - when I filmed myself playing and watched it afterwards, I was disgusted... and during the match I felt I played pretty good, but ... Video camera does indeed strip away some illusions! As for your mate - he could have easily, by accident, gotten a better group... it is my understanding that there are no ratings used in WVC and therefore seeding is not done. So I believe it must have been his bad luck there was a couple of better players in his group... I am pretty sure that Bremen WVC was a tougher event because more of the better European players participated. Some guys must have missed Rio-de-Janeiro WVC simply because of the expense of going to Brazil - but that's just a guess... |

That's true - you play to the level of your opponents, and also you quite often can only play the game your opponents allow you. If you play a kid from basement you will very likely win but you won't show your best game, that's for sure! |

Eh I think you'll find the dude said he won 3-2 in the group and I also think you will find he was at the European Vets last year which he won.

Apologies for the blunder.
Here's the correct footage:
Men's singles 40+ QF Egeholt vs Slevin
Not the most interesting part of the match though.
The semis took place at the same time. I moved the camera after Ding's.
Hope somebody who has the whole scene will post it here.

fFor Brazilian fans of Biriba
Scenes from the training sessions part 1
Part 2
Biriba was the greatest hope for a podium. Here he is tuning his strokes to play against a chopper, a very rare breed in Brazil. Germans took most of the metals, 26 or 29 according to some sites.
As one can see, Neubauer wears some strange type of shoes, similar to a runner's. He said he has back problems and can no longer jog daily as he mentioned in a 2006 interview.

Men'singles 70-74 Final
Dieter Lippelt (Germany) vs Joseph Rakosnik (Czech Rep) Part 1
Part 2
A long battle between two defensive players. Concentration, stamina and mental strengh are in play. Lippelt played many years in the 1st Bundesliga and is still active. He uses a thick sponged short pips in the FH and anti in the back. In Germany, many greyhaired compete side-by-side with upcoming youngsters in lower divisions.
I am having proble in uploading part 3. The same clip turns up. Maybe someone can help me.

No. Unfortunately haven't seen his racket. Do not know whether there was a gluing area outside but no glue can was seen in the hall. In the recent Brazilian Open the pros were using lavish amount of speed; they reapply several times.
Nearly all Asian vets are penholder but none RPB. Neubauer rubber and thick balsa blades are popular. Many still with the frictionless type. All of my 12 opponents ( 4 in singles, 8 in doubles) had long pips, except a Japanese PH who had an Mark V sticked to an 35 old relic.
Umpires and players didn't complaint about height of toss in service or thickness of rubber. A player had a hardbat with a sizable hole where his thumb rests. In the Open umpires did carry a list of allowed rubbers.
In Vet some laxaty is understandable. Overall, the spirit is of competiveness as a sport but at the same time of congregation and celebration.

Redoya, your file is called "...Consol Final"... so is that a main final or a consolation one? Thanks. |

1. Definitely there is domething wrong with my computer. I will try to fix it this weekend. You are right. The first video is from the Consolation Final.
2. The next WVT will be held in China, in June 2010, in a city called Hohhot. It's Mayor was in Rio and participated in the 50+ category. The 2012 Champs will be in Stockholm. I believe that packages will be arranged by travel agencies.
3. The WVT carries the prestige of being a major event sanctioned by ITTF. It is supervised by the Swaythling Club, so a certain organizational standard is expected.
4. To make more visible my viewpoint that the WVT differs from the formal ProTour, I assembled this very short video:
The high pitched sound comes from the Russain fighter Larissa Farina.
5. Speaking of Russia, the big surprise of this tournament was caused by Inna Tikhomirova, a fine chopper. Unknown, unseeded, she won the 40+ without droppiing a single set with great ease. Her level was above other contestants.

I think your PC is fine. I just think you named your clips differently from what is in them. My suspicion is that the only video which is missing is a part of Consolation Final in 70+. Just rename the file, put the proper description when uploading it and it should go just OK. I am very grateful for the videos as I am sure others are as well. Thanks again! |

1. Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it on Sunday.
2. It is a pity that I don't have Kalinic's video. As all the matches started at the same time I had to pick juust one. And I was betting that Ding would win in the 40+ category.
3. Indeed Zoran has a good service. Very economical. Only his forearm and wrist are used. For somebody of his size (6'5") it would be nearly impossible to perform a dance step full body twist like Liu Guoliang.
4. Imposing but unassuming, he was much requested for photos.
