Recap: 2017 Dusseldorf WTTC

Hello, it's been a long time for not updating. I'm not being lazy but because it has been a long busy week (following matches, translating interviews...). I've been catching up some matches of 2017 WTTC recently because there were so many amazing matches played simultaneously in the championships. If you have missed some matches, you can catch up or re-watch the matches on ITTV like what I've been doing these days. I have not covered every match of 2017 WTTC (as there are too many of them but I might catch up more eventually) but the followings are a summary and my thoughts on 2017 WTTC. Please comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts on 2017 WTTC!

The 2017 World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 29 May to 5 June. It can be overwhelming to track down all the 330 male and 264 female players who will be playing in the 2017 WTTC. But the Chinese are definitely those you don't want to miss as they are the favorite of the championships. CCTV 5 has produced fluff featuring the Chinese players who will play in 2017 WTTC. Check the playlist below to watch the fluff with English subtitles!

The Chinese team is heading to Luxembourg for a 1-week training in the China Table Tennis College (Europe Division) on May 20 and then will leave for Dusseldorf on May 27 for 2017 WTTC.

Apart from the Worlds participants, the Chinese are sending more players and staff to backup the team's preparation for 2017 WTTC.
