Finnish Championships Final 2020 [Pongfinity's Miikka vs Benedek Olah]

[@Pongfinity]

HASTAG HUNGARY. Benedek the BEST. HASTAG HUNGARY.

[@davidneuhoff5455]

There's something about Benedik that reminds me of Otto. Calm and composed personality, similar stature and that powerful backhand .

[@BankruptGreek]

it's called big legs and hands.

[@PlacuszekPL98]

He is massive and hits and ball very strongy, i think thats it

[@PlacuszekPL98]

@TheCeilingFanCollectorHD maybe Miikka is a bit short, on this video he looks really massive from my point of view and I am 6'4+

[@kukkik7039]

@TheCeilingFanCollectorHD finnish persons avarage height is somewhere around 5 foot 7 or something like that, so I would say he is pretty massive for a table tennis player

[@kukkik7039]

@TheCeilingFanCollectorHD avarage, not all. For example I am 6 foot 1 in 8th grade.

[@infn]

4-0 is a hammering, regardless of what each game was like. But good job Miika with reaching the finals after the very close semis

[@abdullahmoledina429]

Benedek is a top 100 rated in player on the ittf rankings so although mikka is great, he is only 819 in the ittf rankings so benedek’s victory was inevitable

[@gentblue]

@@abdullahmoledina429 No, every match is just two players, no matter what the rankings say. However, Miikka's game fell apart midway though the first game and Benedek was not about to let him recover.

[@abdullahmoledina429]

gentblue I partially agree with you (Liam pitchford did defeat xu xin despite being of a lower ranking than him) but when there is a gap in terms of ability that is that big, then I think ranking does prove a point

[@luxon4]

if it wasnt for ittf rules the first 150 places would all go to chinese/japanese/hk/taiwan/german players lol. thats why you regularly see some rank 800 chinese player completely "upset" a rank 30 player. ittf tries to allocate points across countries so it's not even at all. if you go to asia none of them give a shit about ittf's "rankings".
