Full replay from the ExCeL - North Arena 1 as Spain's He Zhiwen takes on Poland's Wang Zengyi in the second round of the men'd singles table tennis event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (29 July 2012).
In 1926, meetings were held in Berlin and London that led to the formation of the International Table Tennis Federation. The first World Championships were held in London in 1926, but the sport had to wait a long time before it was given its Olympic debut at the 1988 Seoul Games.

[@yuzhao5883]

unbelievable, at this age still play in Olympic. No matter which country he is from, which nationality he has, we should applaud for him.

[@pnachtwey]

I like to watch He Zhi Wen. It is nice to see old guys can still play at the top level. Coming back from 0-3 it tough.

[@ybonda]

And he still plays at 2021

[@dsharma6328]

He zhi wen held his nerves in the deuce points of the 7th set and won. Unique style of play, trademark wide side spin serve both half long and long to set up 3rd ball. Above all, a true veteran of the game still going strong

[@leexster]

He Zhi Wen was 50 years old in 2012; amazing!

[@jlgt2925]

So rare to see 2 traditional pen holder play with each other

[@raoul_s7667]

Light Sky wang uses rpb

[@bennypan2007]

Wow this come back is remarkable. I reckon this match is more entertaining and nerve racking than the MS final.

[@webmonkeymon]

This is so worth watching. A study n the mental game of table tennis.

[@BicornioSPA]

He Zhi Wen(Juanito) is in Spain for 27 years, Spain dont buy this player like other countries did. He have nationality he is good and he represent Spain nothing more. Sorry for my english.

[@CottonBoxer]

awesome match up. i had never seen he seem so bothered by another pen holder and somewhat sluggish too. but he's s stone cold bulldog and he showed both gameness and talent in one of the best matches ever imho.

[@MrMisterjavi]

Que makina el chino español xD!!

[@gutuami]

if you look at the total points won: 51:43 you will see that He Zhiwen had won more points in his comeback.(57 vs 49). Besides that he lead in the last 7th set. So he had higher probability to win

[@zim-chan]

Good analysis.

[@ichiroakuma7311]

It's true that He Zhiwen does not retract his non-serving arm the way you are supposed to, and he was very bad about acknowledging lucky breaks like the crucial one at 50:18. But this was an exciting match of youth vs experience. He Zhiwen is always instructive to watch, and Wang showed great tenacity and sportsmanship.

[@laoliu3653]

何大哥很牛!

[@xxcpa]

Nothing to say but just salute to He Zhi Wen!

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Just popped up in my field. Epic. 3-3. 9-9. Nerves of steel.Then the odds are in favor of He the server.

[@jrk1666]

hzw: who are you ? wzy: im you but rpb !

[@михаилгостев-п2ж]

случайно набрел на этот матч,но безумно понравился и болел и переживал за Хе Джи Вана(испанца)литеть 0:3,и выстоять.супер,видно очень нервничал,но молодец.

[@kd-je4su]

Grande juanito

[@Illimani91]

Juanito's the nickname of the spanish player ^^

[@pahkhw]

revers victory to He Zhiwen ... 와우~~~

[@FitnessEssentialsChannel]

does anyone know the rubbers being used by he zhi wen? and the sponge thickness .. THANK YOU in advance!

[@tonycorazonoficial8692]

Zhi Wen es un monstruo. Me encanta verlo jugar. Estoy tratando de llevar su Paciencia en el juego. tremendo.

[@eleromi]

¿Por qué la gente está tan alarmada por que sean chinos? Si están censados en el país que representan no hay problema, Juanito por ejemplo lleva unos 30 años viviendo en Granada. Es como si yo me quejara de que Aauri Bokesa no pudiese representar a España porque es negra.

[@limmas1103]

were both the players using the same short pips rubber ?

[@suwijakkosolsirisukkul4898]

Yep short​ pips penhold​ at​ forehand.​ Wang​ Zengyi back​hand​ is​ rpb.

[@limmas1103]

@@suwijakkosolsirisukkul4898 thks, but I am actually asking if they use the same type of short pips ?

[@oleg1973mk]

[@Miguel53de]

Of course ;-) But they became Austrians, Polish, Spanish or what ever. And that is good for the world, to get so closed together. I play table tennis nowerdays in Canada - many players are Chinese, but now Canadians.

[@nandawilhelmus1736]

I'm (very) confused why the coach is not Chinese.

[@tommyreyes7033]

Awesome

[@ogur76]

What a useful coach can say Master Chinese?

[@thetruthhurts5902]

Wow how are these spanish and polish?

[@BicornioSPA]

The "chinese" spanish go to Spain 30 years ago, his sons, and grandsons are 100% spanish so.. you know he have now more links with Spain than China.

[@milandinh4543]

José Andrés if they are his biological grandchildren its impossible for them to be 100% spanisch, they will have a chinese ancestry even if only a little

[@jbiskuitlh]

la culpa la podriamos buscar en las casas de material los precios no paran de subir y claro que si las gomas de media estan por los 40 euros como que no es plan y las maderas rondan por el mismo precio y las gomas de ahora se desgastan muy rapidamente tendriamos que buscar la culpa de que no salgan buenos cocos en casa .un saludo

[@specialk4902]

Just a weapon

[@fc63457]

This is a very cruel game, especially towards the end. Both are short pips player, hitting flat and without using topspin (except for Wang's backhand). This makes it uncomfortable for both players, and they would both have horrible consistency. The deuce game becomes a game of probability, basically rolling the dice to see if the return would make it back on the table. It's awful to even watch...

[@StuffLeaver]

那是紅雙喜的8號拍嗎？

[@zingsting9595]

Wang Zengyi didn't really use his brains for this match. Should have given He Zhi Wen a taste of his own medicine by serving to his wide forehand just like He Zhiwen does to other players. You could also tell He Zhiwen was happy he found the weakness in Wang Zengyis backhand.

[@liceous]

Why are these Chinese dudes representing Spain and Poland lmao

[@Miguel53de]

So typical Sspanish and Polish names: Zhiwen He and Zengyi Wang ;-) But that is the world nowerdays, a small one. A global village. And that is good though.

[@corjuleskandou8258]

WZY try to scary with his shout ???

[@AliAbbas-fh8rp]

the spanish player old style of penholder the polish player use modern style with poor footwork

terrible video editing. amateurs. nice illegal serve *every single time* from the old timer

[@TomJakobW]

. They are all illegal; he hides the last bit (contact with the ball) with his right hand (he even makes it as big a shape as possible); and to comment on the first commenter: they aren't bad; it just looks "bad" because they often win with serves or 3rd balls, so there is not much of a game really.

[@atilaeryildiz9584]
