Worlds Most Intense Table Tennis Session!

[@TableTennisDaily]

How insane was Wang Chuqin's footwork in this session? 🏓

[@edwardhochwand9063]

Ach. I thought, it was TTD team+Adam Bobrow against WCQ. 😂

[@-danR]

I think the trainer was insane. Wang loses to pace-disruption artist Lind, and all he's getting stock pattern drills for forehand drive with minor variations in speed and spin. No chop-blocks, no sideswipe shots, no garbage balls. It's as though he just lost to Jonathon Groth, or Marcos Freitas.

[@perthpongtt]

​@@edwardhochwand9063one can hope 😬

[@azlanothmanPDA]

You know you gonna be in trouble when the coach is actually doing the stretching & warming up.

[@wandererlay]

@@-danR most of the world top players do not train to beat a particular player, and being the world #1 doesn't mean he will win every match. Based on how the ranking system set up, the person on the #1 ranking means he is the most consistent high performing player in the past 12 months.

[@TTDPocketRocket]

Dan went to Mars and recorded an alien. This is absolutely madness training. I can't wait to go China and get some quality training like this one day.

[@vyacheslavbrodovoy2039]

A robot is more than capable of providing such a ball feeding. In fact, I wonder why the trainer is doing it himself.

[@GaoyuanFanboy123]

i agree, you can train your legs very well yourself with a good setting​@@vyacheslavbrodovoy2039

[@-danR]

@@vyacheslavbrodovoy2039 The Chinese aren't big on machine training, especially for top-tier players. What _I_ find strange is how useless that particular drill is, in context. Wang didn't lose to Boll, or Kristian Karlsson. He lost to trickster Anders Lind. The trainer should be feeding mixed drive and junk-shots.

[@mT4945]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@turnatle]

@@vyacheslavbrodovoy2039 That's not true, very few robots can provide such quality balls and robots often feed unnatural shots. Plus, robots cannot train the player to watch the racket of their opponent to determine where the next shot is, something coaches can do.

[@dhruvakg14]

The speed, the footwork, the timing and the accuracy! With Wang Chuqin, you have it all.

[@TableTennisDaily]

The speed really is tremendous!

[@TableTennisDaily]

Yeah it's incredible really. Wang actually trained every day in the hall like a beast after this session too!

[@TTDJoe]

I set the camera up, watched a few minutes then left them to it. I went back over an hour later and they were still going. It was insane, even other players in the hall were watching 🤯😅 but this right here is one of the reasons why he’s one of the best in the world. Bit of a rest, a good mental reset and he’ll be back to destroying the entire world in no time at all 😍

Are you the one who commentates TTD matches?

[@TTDJoe]

@@replyingtomemeansyourstupi8996 yeah that’s me 👍

[@-danR]

OK, you can answer a puzzle then. Was this drill format basically all Wang was being trained on all that time? Because he lost Anders Lind, most of the ball feeding ought to the sort of wicked mix of drive/drop/chop-block/sideswipe/etc. that Lind specializes in throwing at opponents. (But not excluding the rallies that Lind is also capable of).

[@Ejb2460]

Unless they are 14 yrs old 😂

[@TrystwithTableTennis]

Gotta love his attitude though... even under so much pressure, he is focusing on training and effort rather than dwelling over the results. Even though I think we saw one of his best phases for a year before the olympics, his comeback is gonna be goated

[@VincentTan-jm8jl]

Facts. He had to be fully focused for years to gain qualification to the Olympics in a very competitive Team China. Can't imagine the pressure, the mental and physical strain. After the Olympics, he had to do numerous media and public appearances. A decent break will be good for his mind and body

[@azlanothmanPDA]

You know you gonna be in trouble when the coach is actually doing the stretching & warming up.

[@florinpasca2000]

😂😂😂

[@Zeya-25]

In fact, it's amazing that his pace can be adjusted quickly. I believe he will bring us more exciting games in the future.

[@smahadiL_]

wow, this is peak Table tennis training.

[@arealyellowmandarin]

It is so insane how the most gifted one is also the most hard-working one, he will be the next GOAT no matter what. His story will be written in the history

[@kitcooks]

Not sure about that he lost at the Olympics

[@linhannah5579]

Thanks for sharing the video. Support Wang Chu Qin ❤ He is one of the most hard-working and loving table tennis!

[@Yukkki-o4w]

Wang Chuqin mentioned more than once that he hoped to let himself suffer a little, and the pain could stimulate him to stay alert and motivate him to victory. He said he didn't want to lose the game after losing, is his most painful time. "Above the pain is the dawn", is a word he has always believed, and now, after the baptism of the first Olympic Games, love, diligence and unyielding have been integrated into his blood. "I wish I could be happier." He paused, then added, "The joy is not thinking too much, coming into every match after this year with a pure attitude of enjoying table tennis, enjoying the competition." We believe he will be back🦁

[@chasf3433]

Amazing arm acceleration through the ball on the FH, and that back hand is so consistent, he hardly made an error even at that pace.

[@wa123]

The fact is Wang has been doing even more intense training before Olympics. More or less, he shows the effort to arrive world no. 1, it’s not about advertising or voting to get there, it’s about hard work. So respect all hard-working players!

[@KenIn_NH]

This is the level of intensity, work and skill required to get to #1. Just brutal and astounding to watch 😮

[@jingwxn1110]

👏🏼AMAZING 🏓training session, can’t imagine how he did these trainings all day long while preparing for each games including the Paris Olympics. Even bagged 2 Gold medals on his first Olympics adventure. Looking forward already, to his return after he takes his well-deserved rest! All the best Wang ChuQin, will be cheering for you🦁🙏🏼

[@johnbullard5973]

It’s the quality of the shots as well . Over 90% on the table and mostly winning shots under extreme pressure and out of position 👏👏

[@CandyflossCottonCandy]

As a coach he must have felt the weight of responsibility for Wang's loss. He is working his player hard as an apology to Wang and for redemption in the next tournament.

[@maxinesu3600]

Wang has the best coach in the world who cares for and feels for him and can help him to improve continuously. His loss was due to fatigue, being no test since Paris Olympic. He recently has to quit some Games / Competitions to recover from his injury. It is insane to have athletes play so many competitions back to back.

[@Splatersby]

Love to see a video of the TTD team taking a crack at this 😆

[@Odenbark]

nice video as always

[@martinnemenzo1827]

We all TT players can relate how painful this kind of training session is

[@hioace]

This is insane. As for WCQ’s recent losses, I used to think he was just going through some post-Olympic blues, like you often see with track athletes, though I’m not sure how common that is in table tennis. It seems like his team hasn’t been giving him proper mental health support either. But after watching China Smash, it feels like he hasn’t fully gotten back into serious training or physical recovery. The CNT players practice daily for extremely long hours, but it just looks like regular and intense drills-nothing special or targeted for the top ones.

[@VincentTan-jm8jl]

After the end of the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin admitted that he may not have adjusted well: "Normal after the Olympics such a big event should be a short break, but time is running out, and now I have to adapt and accept the situation. Athletes are not machines, but also need to release their emotions and adjust their bodies and minds. What kind of game to face with what kind of state and thought, this is what I have to go back to plan properly." "I hope I can become happier. This happiness refers to not thinking too much and facing every match after this year with a pure attitude of enjoying table tennis and enjoying the game." In addition, Wang Chuchin described billiards as "a particularly good programme for training logical thinking. Because billiards does not care about the gain or loss of a ball, but requires overall planning. To play well, you have to think about how to use one ball to connect to another ball, with what kind of pole method and skills to let the white ball to a comfortable position, and then to connect to the next ball, especially test a person's big picture view. In terms of details, it is again a constant test of understanding the nuances of each ball's spin angle ......" "Next cycle, I hope to have more time to focus on singles. Of course the mixed doubles programme was the focus of the last cycle, I am a left-handed athlete, in the doubles programme with a right-handed player, this left, right, one person, one board, especially conducive to interspersed running, in the field of play, no matter before or after the left and right can take care of. I also drove my singles through the mixed doubles and doubles events, step by step." "But next time, still want to strengthen in the men's singles programme. Because that's my regret of this Olympics. To keep competing in the new cycle, keep making myself fight for opportunities in the fight. It's a matter of building up step by step, little by little, to see, in the end, that there is such an opportunity."

[@hioace]

@@VincentTan-jm8jl Well, it’s interesting how the CNT players seem to talk a lot, but most of their interviews feel pointless. It sounds like he understands the importance of rest and mental and physical recovery, but says there’s no time. What ‘time’ is running out? Is his unhappiness the reason behind his recent losses? What’s the logic here? Thanks for sharing though. Btw, where can I follow updates (like this interview) about CNT?

[@VincentTan-jm8jl]

@@hioace I read this in his latest interview with a Chinese magazine. Had to translate to English using translation apps

That’s true😂, in fact Zhan, Xiao is the coach of mixed doubles, so WCQ must spend 80-90% of his time in training mixed doubles, only after that, Zhan,Xiao would start helping improve his singles’ skills. But he still ranks No.1 in men’s singles, he is really talented and hardworking.
