With rio coming up I was wondering about forum thoughts of the Chinese vs other nations. |

The Chinese will dominate...now and in the forseeable future. I don't think this is going to change...unless the ITTF continues to interfere. |

Why do you think they are so good? I've some thoughts. But no hope for others? |

Oh, there's hope. The likes of Ovtcharov and Boll win now and then, but expectations are pretty low. Lots of upcoming Chinese youngsters too, so the trend will continue for a while, the only thing is which one will end up with which medal this time around. We'd like to hear your theories - though the subject's been beaten to death over the years. A little more interesting on the women's side - lots of strong Japanese players, Singapore has Feng Tianwei (though she's actually ex-Chinese, it's rare for someone who leaves to be ranked this high), and VERY interestingly, there's a couple of very strong Chinese choppers now - one just won the German open, beating the other one in the semis.

I agree with the men's assessment. Difficult to bring down the men unless someone becomes injured. Zhang jike is especially injury prone and xu xim wears a knee strap on occasions. He also has some third ball attack problems in the warm ups. Ma long is a machine. His mechanical style tough to break down. Fan Zheng dong has a great backhand but may crack psych wise. I wouldn't want to be liu Guoliang this year. |
