  1. The contest has begun! Why are image quality and camera angles so bad from the ITTF? This is a consistent problem.

  2. Of course! On both counts! The question is not will China retain their crowns but whom they must play to do so. For the women, Japan appears to be the only worthy opponent; for the men, I am unsure. I still cannot fathom that Japan was so comprehensively beaten by Liam Pitchford, err, I mean, England. By the way, how nice would it be to watch Liam Pitchford play Truls Morgen?
