The Battle to be World Champion

[@AdamBobrow]

Will The Dragon rise again?

[@Aulric_]

Ofc he will come back he is the Goat

[@droxyj7506]

Ma long washed ? 😢

[@oxtt4314]

Ma Long isn't washed but you can't expect to react like a man in his 20s

[@john-ng6gh]

I think it's time for younger players to show off, especially from China (Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Xian Peng).

[@tomtrana3449]

The changing of the guard has long since taken place.

[@twelve315st]

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” was so inspiring

[@vedantamsubash8901]

Totally agree 18:51

[@NoahSBD]

wow i just scrolled to the comments, and he said it as i read your comment

[@McRagtime]

“I never lose. I either win or learn.” (Nelson Mandela)

[@williamdowling7718]

​@@NoahSBD I could be wrong, because I have no access to the underlying code that KZbin runs on. But I have noticed the same thing multiple times. And as a developer, I have a vague idea of what information is available in the code when you scroll to the comments, and when you post a comment. I'm just guessing, but I would imagine that your KZbin app (whether on mobile or in the browser) is paying attention to the current timestamp of the video you're watching currently, and if you leave a comment at a certain point during the video, metadata could be stored in that comment that indicates the timestamp of the video at the point the comment was made. Then when someone else is watching the video, and they scroll to the comments around the same timestamp, the comments displayed could be sorted or weighted or prioritized according to the comments that were left around the same timestamp. This could help boost engagement by amplifying the appearance that other people also saw what you saw when you saw it, and thus is more likely to spur discussion. As opposed to the comments all being sorted only by time the comment was made... I think that would necessarily spread out the comments about certain parts of the video. Could be wrong though.

[@watchman835]

Why not win and learn at the same time?

[@jon630]

I burst into tears when you gave the score sheet to Hina Hayata's coach. Something about that interaction was just so moving. Thank you for this incredible video, Adam!

[@brabhamfreaman166]

That was a B E A utiful exchange. If I didn’t have a heart of ice, I too would’ve shed at least a tear 😂😂. What an amazing keepsake for Adam to have treasured *AND* had the presence of mind, not just to take it with him to RSA but to seek out Hina Hayata’s coach and give both the scoresheet and his feelings when watching the match live (I mean as it happened, don’t know if he saw it in person, sorry 🤷)😅

[@ruinex7718]

A very beautiful summary of the event for those like me who missed to catch it live, thanks Adam!

[@sam-tw2mk]

Muy corto el tiempo del video

[@richardandrade9418]

Not having any knowledge of these players cause I'm a casual player, it's awesome to see how much respect you show to these people! Great overview for everyone thanks Adam!

[@ansman5062]

I’m so happy you mentioned Viktor barna, so many people don’t even know who he is. He won a total of 5 single WC and played in the event from 1929-1954

[@pingsunday]

One of the best video of World Championships I've seen. Thank you @Adam Bobrow

[@calebrobbins6406]

Okay so I don't know how I got this in my recommendations as I just don't do table tennis, but I absolutely love the energy you have, and am interested in learning more because of it!

[@williamdowling7718]

I literally just made a comment to Adam about how he is such a shining light of energy and positivity, not just to the table tennis world, but to the whole world. Thanks for adding a data point to support my hypothesis. ❤

[@malkaadelman9580]

its crazy how much effort he puts into his videos and how good he is

[@orcu]

True, amazing edition also

[@XIplupIX]

Agreed very enjoyable KZbin channel. And respect that he does in a way that also makes it interesting for non club players. But he overeddits quite often in my opinion unfortunately like the game point sounds and etc do not fit the theme of the video or atleast the tense moment. Makes sense in his for fun matches but not when he is trying to make the moment tense.

[@Execter69]

He is an incredible nice guy in real life met him in Durban best experience ever

[@skyedagamer]

Indeed

[@aaronmaningas4059]

I love to play table tennis before but I stopped because I focused on playing basketball, I'm happy watching your videos Adam here in the Philippines!🇵🇭❤️🏓

[@satyamevjayate110]

Adam, I came across your channel during the lockdown, and you made my lockdown awesome. Love from India ❤️

[@s3rverlord]

Please come to India. We have table tennis at our office.

[@thebest3511]

Every country has its champions and WE "on KZbin" have our Champion, Adam Bobrow. Keep up this amazing journey man.

[@thai33oz]

I don't watch competitive table tennis, but your video got me hooked and rooting for Ma Long. And I had no idea who any of these players were prior to this video. Outstanding work

[@emorydaniel9084]

Being a fan of both Adam and Pongfinity, I was pleased to see Olah not only on the list, getting a result!

[@Manuj_]

Players will come and go but The GOAT will remain in our hearts forever ❤️❤️

[@jensjesfjeld6238]

I'm so happy you were able to cover this amazing event. Thank you for sharing the journey with us!

[@arditoaryo7997]

wow incredible to watch from start to the end.. it feels like its only a minute. thanks adam for bringing the joy you experience there i hope to watch more videos like this.

[@joehopfield]

Brilliant athletics combined with your irrepressible love for the sport, players, and fans = happiness.

[@m.alexandrecastro9323]

Amazing matches for sure, great highlights with the "back stage" view of things. Table Tennis will never stop to evolve and bring other dynamics as we could witness in these Championships. FZD takes the cake as he is a BEAST no question. As usual, great video !

[@ravenfnafmodcreator]

Good Luck Ma Long Alot Of People Are Still Playing🏓🙏

[@skeating2818]

Adam, thank you for your happy exhuberance for this great sport that brings people together. It is awesome to watch these players and see how your broadcasts have energized table tennis lovers of all generations!

[@samuelcutler2461]

I couldn’t agree more about the Hina Hayata match. I just happened to be watching the live stream. It was the best match I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I hope one day to be able to watch her play in person.

[@lasagnahog7695]

Those games were intense. I hope it lines up that I can see a major table tennis tournament some time.

[@aarushnabar9837]

Your genuinely an inspiration to me. I was a average player till about 2 years ago but now I might play states :D ! Thank you Adam. I am forever indebted to you.

[@drakemordred2982]

Adam brings the professionalism and respect to table tennis that it deserves.

[@hasanaliyev83]

Great job done Adam. Thank you for this video!

[@briancarlnilo]

I really love the way you make table tennis content especially this one. Im a fan. Thank you adam.

[@theguardian308]

I think Adam is the GOAT of commentators. I just love watching games with your commentary

[@hereisjohnneyyy]

It would be so awesome, if the ITTF would put the same amount of effort in organizing a really great tournament as you do in creating your videos. The world championships felt like a regular WTT-Event, there was nearly no atmosphere and it was hard to figure out where to watch the matches...You do an amazing job, promoting table-tennis all over the world. Unfortunately the ITTF doesn´t.

[@JanHellrung]

Nice Video man. Tabletenis need more people like you to bring this sport in the public.

[@eds59]

Thank you very much for promoting table tennis. That's the only thing that really matters.

[@Dude-etiquette]

Adam is the best commentator of all sports. Just love his passion for the game

[@COCattacks1234]

ma long,my inspiration,just lots of love nad blessings

[@YANGCAO-z4k]

ADAM, finally I got you ! Years back, I always heard you commentate on Xu Xin's matches, just loved that voice from you ! Come on, Xu Xin, look what he just did, hahahah, Xu Xin is my favourite, and of course Ma Loong, Little fatty, Zhang Jike, etc... Love from China

[@jankanning]

Great Video, in our club we´ve a 90 year old european cup second place in Table Tennis, normaly she had to play in the age class 90, but there is no one available, so she played with the 80´s. Now she have to join the Wolrdcup in double. We´re all very proud. Thanks for your Videos Adam.

[@BenTheSkipper]

A very concise recap of an event I didn't even know took place!

[@jessie8273]

Keep it up, bro! I have been your fan since I was in 6th grade, and then I learned a lot from you, and I just won our Table Tennis tournament at school. All thanks to you❤

[@pf4773]

an incredible video, from an incredible vlogger. I have never seen such joy and love from an athletic sport

[@heinstegmann1439]

Loved it! Lots of love from all South Africans Adam!! 😄♥

[@edal3375]

Thanks a lot for all your videos. Specially this one...

[@1neminutebonk3rs3]

i dont' know anything about Table Tennis. I love Ma Long. LONG LIVE THE KING

[@Lifeisgood0131]

Love those interesting and heart-warming scenes behind the screen recorded by Adam:) totally agree with the girl, hope WMY can come back stronger !

[@woutbrysse4545]

I dont even play pingpong/tabletennis but i really enjoy these videos. Very entertaining to watch

[@uj.r]

Thanks Adam for this amazing video ❤

[@martjay]

You have been doing your best to promote this interesting sport, and you have been doing what you love. I think this is the happiest thing for a person.

[@Andha1]

[@olubukolaaluko2928]

Genuinely get a smile watching your journey. 🙏🏿

[@aarushbatra2235]

7:04 look at the number of tabs🤣

[@martintayler23]

Thank you Adam, you are so honest and encourage everyone to enjoy this game, whatever their skill level. It's great you can touch many players around the world and I admire that......except I hate snaky players with funny rubber! Keep up the fun and when you come to Australia again do come to Melbourne and I will challenge you and have a laugh. Cheers Martin

[@darklyte24]

@Adambobrow I havent played for about 20+ years until I found your channel as it sparked my interest again and a recent Alaksan cruise with my nephews started to get me playing again as they had tables. I bought new paddles but there are limited places to play in the SF bay California area. May have to buy a table soon! 🏓 You do awesome work 🐍 man!

[@AdamBobrow]

Thanks a ton! Thrilled to hear that. You’ll be happy to know that the Bay Area is the MECCA for table tennis in the US. Most of the national champions have come from there in the last decade and there are tons of clubs there to play at. Many people actually move there to train and because of how strong and plentiful the table tennis scene is😁🥳

[@EpiDot52]

You are SO well loved in your sport.

[@Girapcaaaaa]

ohhh you really made my day. just happen to see this video having recently watched paris2024 Olympics table tennis match

[@darksideofthemoon1002]

I learnt this game in prison what a tough sport if your not fit and cant spin the ball and return serve give up this was amazing,thanks for the upload ❤

[@claudiocolombo1252]

Fantastic! Very nice reportage. I would have enjoyed to see Bobocica... And more of Panagiotis but thank you a lot for the wonderful video. Greetings from Italy!

[@johnyhawkahsan]

Man! You're getting better every day. I loved your video.

[@aklevin]

Great summary! Thanks for bringing the excitement!

[@canwang1728]

Hope WTT champions come to USA one day. Can’t wait to watch live game here in the States.

[@debashishmitra]

Wonderful video. Thank you

[@HXZE__PRX]

Awesome video! I I would have been happy if you had interviewed Mihai Bobocica🇮🇹🇮🇹 from Italy. He reached Round of 16 and it's an historical result for italian table tennis that counts only 12 000 players.

[@wahraoeh]

Thanks

[@НиконоровСергей]

Thank you, play with best !

[@johntatum1951]

South African folks play drums and dance better than most cultures...thanks Adam!
