Xu Xin - THE SHOW MAN

[@vincenttheo8841]

Xu Xin is top 3 players in the world, and yet he might not make it into the Olympics thanks to stupid ITTF rules. We want to see the best athletes to compete in the Olympics regardless of their nationality. That's the spirit of the Olympics. The ITTF shamelessly attempts to change the outcome of the Olympics games in the name of generating more interest in table-tennis if the Chinese don't win. Under this kind of rule, even when a non-Chinese athlete wins in the Olympics, it's still a cheap win. Medals matter, but setting up rules in such a way that a top 3 world player might not even make it in the Olympics is just pure stupidity.

[@vincenttheo8841]

+Le TDD If a top 3 player in the world cannot compete in Olympics per rules, that's more depressing. Because that tells that our values are all about winning medals and a narrow sense of nationalism. In that case, the spirit of Olympics, which is about sportsmanship and the pure pursuit of excellence, is lost to nationalistic egos. And no, I am not depressed when the semis are filled with Chinese. That means the rest of the world needs to get better and learn from the Chinese. I am sure the Asians were not depressed when the men 100 meters were dominated by non-Asians. Instead, they learned and improved. For me, the Olympics should be a stage that recognizes athletes based on pure talents regardless of nationality. If you believe in medals so much, go compete in the national level or even in the European league. But don't let cheap-win medals delude yourself in the Olympics - the most sacred arena for professional athletes.

[@LongTimeTTFan]

+Vincent Theo “That means the rest of the world needs to get better and learn from the Chinese.” Well said. Totally agreed.

[@LongTimeTTFan]

+Le TDD A few years ago, when Gabor Gergely was asked why the Hungarian Men's Team of him, Tibor Klampár, and Istvan Jonyer could beat the Chinese TWICE in the 1979 Pyongyang Worlds, he said one of the main reasons was the amount of training the Hungarians had had. They trained 6.5 to 7 hours a day, everyday, day in and day out. He said now European players do not train nearly that much any more. But the Chinese do.

[@Zamibia]

+Vincent Theo Could you elaborate on what rules? Tried googling it but couldnt find any. yet im intrigued how they possibly could prohibit a top 3 player from participating. Olympics isnt charity.

[@TheGreve]

+Le TDD And yet, Brazil isn't banned from using one of their top three players in the national team when competing at the World Championships. I completely agree with Vincent Theo on this one. YES, the world HAS to learn from the Chinese. Instead of imperialistically changing the rules in your favour, dedicate yourself to create European players of world class. Truls Möregårdh is one of those hopes. One nation's domination is apparently mostly a problem when it's a non-Western one. /Swede

Xu Xin makes Table Tennis an Art. In this world of perfectionism, he doesn't play like a machine (see Ma-Long) but like a human capable of loosing, a human that puts his art and his genius in this game. Definitely my favourite player!

[@fuyu0800]

XX has got the best touch to the ball among all penholder players in Chinese tt history as per his national coach comment. He has recently improved his RPB a lot but still not quiet enough. If he can manage to take his RPB to a new level, which he's very close to, he will be unstoppable - probably the best penholder player ever in world tt history.

[@williampan5438]

Seriously, Xu is really a funny guy, a man really enjoys the game in that fierce competition. Besides, he is also hilarious in ordinary life!!!

[@abstractexchange5057]

Xu Xin is most artist player in table tennis world. Xu Xin forehand topspin is the most typical pupil of old Liu Gualang school from the era of chinese trio superstars Wang Liquin-Ma Lin-Wang Hao. Then japanese manufactures manipulated to apply heavyweight balls (ball weight was 2 grams, then 2.5 grams, and now 2.7 grams) to set up bored japanese "swift hits" style in order to win against chinese players. With these illegal heavyweight balls, Japan than introduced its new generation of small bodied players (it was Harimoto, it is Niwa, Kenta, Hirano, Ito, ...) , which are fit to these ILLEGAL heavyweight balls and japanese bored 'swift hits' style. Best ball weight must be 1.5gram . Even Liu Gualang doubted that Xu Xin forehand topspin techniques are outdated. But Xu Xin is showing the other objective reality. With his forehand topspin, Xu Xin easily beats Harimoto all times. Other new chinese players have troubles against Harimoto, but Xu Xin have not. Xu Xin can easily beat any chinese top players too. Xu Xin had problem. He was a traditional penholder with old traditional penholder backhand techniques. Then Xu Xin added modern backhand techniques of reversed racket side strokes, but he used mixed backhand techniques : old penholder backhand techniques and modern penholder backhand techniques. It is wrong choose. Penholders can choose only one from 2 styles, but not mixed style. It is because of the issue of reaction orientation in quick rallies. Fortunately for Xu Xin, that he then entirely switched to use only modern backhand techniques. For the last 2 years, we see that Xu Xin set up his reaction to play only modern backhand techniques with racket reversed sides for backhand strokes. It is right decision. And this switch requires about 2 year to be fluently applied. Xu Xin spent 2 years from this switch. Xu Xin is now in the stage of modern penholder backhand techniques improving. So Xu Xin still has real big potential. He does not have time to archive career as Ma Long, but he still can win grand slam and olympic title. The weakness of Xu Xin is that he sometimes stops running and playing after realizing his famous forehand topspin, because he thinks that his opponents can not handle. But top players now can easily handle these balls, but they can not initially attack from these balls. So Xu Xin topspin can give him a bit advantages of forcing his opponent to lose positions, but these topspins can not often give directly points. That is why must keep running, and not to risk to earn direct points with forehand topspin in uncleared dominated cases. Xu Xin often play backhand in his so high poses. It is problem too, because he lost temp and angle in backhand techniques and in maneuver of switching forehand-backhand. . And his backhand strokes are still lag of spin, not enough spin as Wang Hao backhand strokes.

[@snuker99]

Запредельный уровень!

[@chch.0630]

Absolutely showed the flexibility and the forehand power of penhold
