Summary:
the last Chinese Character of LGL name:(This traditional is same as simplified)
There are three parts to that word (Liang)
(top left) Water: flows like water, water can be in any form
(top right) Blade edge:  the left and right "piie" indicates sharpness on both side, so some knife has only one side edge, this is double edge/side.

I hope ma long wins in rio because he is the ultimate olympian and he deserves it and after it was unfair he did not participate in 2012. I'll be done with my respect for the cnt after that. After that I will consider the cnt as a stupid machine to manage champions and take advantage of them; not to create them. lgl took over at the best moment and surfed a nice wave; the supply of world class players was so high he does not deserve more than a mere ok manager title. The way I see it in Rio zjk will lose early in his half of the draw and ml might crumble under pressure later. By sending fzd or xx, ma long would have been in super boss mode all the way with nobody able to take his focus away; by breaking all fair play rules and sending zjk, the cnt is committing suicide like the Swedes champs did when they started to age and wanted to keep playing anyway, smothering the youth. viva ma long 2016, viva fzd 2020, viva lsw 2020.

fatt wrote: I mean zjk had his chance to qualify and he did not take it... normally the rankings and past results will NOT let him play singles but he is now going because some people give him a favor. he will be the dark horse, the unpredictable factor that takes people's attention for the wrong reasons. Even if he makes it to the final it will not be deserved because he stole somebody's lunch; fzd's to be precise. He insults the olympian spirit twice: once in 2012 by winning without beating ma long; and twice by having a shot in 2016 by taking somebody else's spot. that is not good for ma long who feels best when rules are clear and clearly applied; when that does not happen then ma long may play under his best level. that's what I meant.

He managed to beat Wang Tao in the WTTC, and finally won the gold medal, while he often lost to Wang inside the team. BTW, according to Wikipedia, Wang Tao was mentioned in season 4, episode 8 of the American television series The Office. In the episode, entitled "The Deposition," the character Dwight Schrute mentions Wang Tao as one of his table tennis heroes. As a head coach, he encourages innovation in TT, always thinks outside the box, pushing for new rule in super league and cnt qualification games. Not sure if I can call him TT genius. Definitely he is smart in TT, high IQ in TT.
