Catch Up 2020 Korean Olympic Trials: Lee Sangsu & Shin Yubin Booked Tickets to Olympics
As long as there is a slim chance that the Olympics will be hosted as scheduled in 2021, the Olympic Trials is the hope for athletes to pursue their Olympic dream. After 2 rounds of round-robin, Lee Sangsu and Shin Yubin came first at the Korean Olympic Trials and secured a spot at the Olympics. They will join Jang Woojin and Jeon Jihee, the highest world ranked player of the association, to represent Korea in Tokyo while the remaining 1 spot for the men's and women's team would be decided by the selection committee.

History: Hands Off the Table
Now that all the noise and excitement were over, leaving another 7-month break with no international competition (After multiple-postponement, 2020 World Championships is officially cancelled! Aw!!!). Perhaps it's time to review the RESTART series (the World Cups, ITTF Finals and WTT) launched last month and take a little time travel to see how people embraced the return of table tennis after a long, hard break in history.

RESTART: New Normal of Small Ball Spins the Big Ball
Speaking of new normal, our blog 'Small Ball Spins the Big Ball' is also transitioning to a 'new normal'. Long-time followers may have noticed that I have significantly reduced the number of articles being published last year. Since I am no longer the student who has the luxury of time to follow table tennis news closely and write up the competitions on this blog.
I will try my very best to cover major events played in China, such as Chinese National Games, Chinese Nationals, Chinese Trials, CTTSL, Warm-ups and mock competitions whose English information is often hard to come by. And moving forward, I want this blog to be more of a platform for original works (possibly articles from the History / Throwbacks series) rather than write-ups of translated news. Therefore, this is going to be quality over quantity, meaning that updates will be made when I am free.
So, what do you all think? I really want to know.
