Full replay from the ExCeL - North Arena 1 as Joo Saehyuk (KOR) takes on Kim Hyok Bong (PRK) in the third round of the men's table tennis singles event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (30 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.

That net is the 38th parallel.

[@bryanwells4063]

Kim is so funny with his little yelps when he approaches the table or wins a point, like "YAH, yuh yuh uh"

[@TheEuroboss]

North Koreans are always dramatic

[@FreshPrinceofcolombo]

26:19 amazing rally!!!

[@ناصرالعيني]

so awkward a s korean and n korean to play togather 😶

[@Danny-wy8kz]

And the judge is from Japan

[@hashinjung9518]

Sad to see them fight like enemies not brothers

[@JaggedBird]

@Graiden Whitfield What we expect is sportsmanship, respect, honour and skill, since it's literally what both the Games (Olympic, Paralympic and Winter) along with all championships (global and nationals) strive for and why they exist..

[@johnhang8790]

the game starts at 02:50

[@dangvang1]

thanks he's good ...

[@joebulatao]

I wonder why I seldom see players from DPR in world tournaments. Kim Hyek Bong is a new name to me but he is good. Do they have more players like him in DPR ?

[@JaggedBird]

I mean there is Un Guk Kim who has the heavy lifting WR so there's that for them..

[@dfm416]

[@chia-tanghsu4895]

Kim was fighting for his life literally 😂

[@kens9234]

26:18 Rare smashing of joo

[@lazalazaotsimiamboholahy785]

Not the two korea don't want tobe united but the US don't want and use everything to split this country. US a a root of many countries problems: south america, middle east ...

[@larryshrekker916]

Are you justifying Kim jong un's crimes?

[@JaggedBird]

Owch..

[@zyh627627]

the DPR player is wearing 361 brand t-shirt, which is a secondary brand even in china. Imagine how harsh the life in DPR.

[@NightcorEDM]

Not anymore

[@cramyt]

they’re sponsored apparently

[@JaggedBird]

@@cramyt their only sponsor actually aside from the Kim family

[@NoSpeechForTheDumb]

OMG how terrible they must wear second best quality shirts! Poor poor people 😭

[@nekochan7691]

South Korean player didn’t show him any respect, average South Korea move on north

[@dylancurbjumper]

That's so weird, he spells it Hyek on his shirt but on the the scoreboards it's Hyok?!?!?!

[@andreialexandruparfeni7129]

Dylan Probizanski I think it's Hyuk.

[@xonx209]

Is that a commentator mumbling something throughout the whole game?

[@xeva]

Chating on his mobile hahaha. 😅

[@krzysiekstoko6014]

szczerze wiem że olimpiada do najważniejsze zawody życia ale na miejscu tego koreańczyka z południa oddał bym zawody z nim bo potem LOCH

[@winston2831]

Lol so awkward South vs North Korea

[@ravenjs3609]

they've been competing against each other in table tennis since early 80s

[@joevene1388]

Why they write "KOR" if Korea is divided?🤦🏻‍♂️

[@akshfheiwjajq]

Because South Korea was officially admitted as "KOREA" by U.N earlier than North Korea in despite of same "Korea".

[@junglejimmy8071]

Literally nothing happens.

[@dangvang1]

what's the name of the red player?

[@larryshrekker916]

DANG VANG His name is Kim Hyuk Bong from North Korea

[@MyAbdi18]

yooo jooo.... every single time he failed LOL

[@sharkonno1]

Nobody cheers for him except when he won a point damn nice. He has a powerful mindset which looks unbreakable. Joo chose to grow up in a prosperity environment before he was born, there is a trade off. Nothing is so good, nothing is so bad. As long as you love life and the good feelings it gives you.

[@Mokov40]

sharkonno1 I don't know what inspirational post on Facebook you read this from but after the first line it stoped making sense.

[@boogieloo1831]

sharkonno1 - Joo chose before he was born? What kind of bullshit is that?

[@hiiji4256]

Wonder what side the Ref was born from, South or North? hahahaa

[@Mokov40]

Hii Ji THE REF WAS JAPANESE!

[@CommunistBot]

She's Japanese
