Zhang Wins Men's Table Tennis Semi-Final | London 2012 Olympics

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Jike Zhang (China) defeats Dimitrij Ovtcharov (Germany) to reach the final of the men'd table tennis event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (2 August).
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.

一直到2024, 世界乒乓球打法還受著張繼科風格的影響，馬龍更是在生涯末期把張繼科這套學精了，再次拿下世界冠軍

[@zbazz8]

19:00 is awesome!

[@leopulga]

i like how 10:18 he shuts the commentator up with that serve

[@jordanrey1]

China and Germany are two awesome countries playing table tennis at their best but you can see how much China has owned this game over the length of time.

I miss this kind of zjk

[@kuchikibyakuya7697]

Zjk at that time is aggressive

[@benpork8533]

Oh my. The title is already a spoiler.

[@xyzzzzz01]

every table tennis fan knows it anyways

[@xyzzzzz01]

still a stupid title :D

[@WellMefisto]

Ah, come on... complaint about spoiler here?? The match is not alive, it already happened! Everybody knows ZJ won the 2012 Olympics! How could he have lost this one match??

藏獒不败， 我心中永远的#1💕💕

[@malonecapone2]

The German has improved a lot in his game. In the most recent Olympics in Tokyo 2021, he played Ma Long and almost won. Yes, he lost but his game is at a much higher level than this one here in London.

[@juniorgorong5576]

😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊cxxgyyyyg😮😅😅😅

[@jimsy2008]

Its always a 1 winner game and to maintain to be top is difficult.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

[@RealMudSkipper]

They need to not title these videos 'XY wins Event Z'

[@WellMefisto]

Why? Spoiler? ahahahahah!

[@paulyi729]

张继科最有天赋，打球轻松，太多杀手简，霸王拧太美了，可惜受伤，不然还可称霸好年。

[@Pieteeeeeerer]

The audience is so passionate

[@leixiao169]

虽然在接发球上处于劣式 但还是赢了

[@datle2863]

Why Zhang had a sad look on his face? Even when he smiled

[@ranmanolov6832]

Ma Long

[@efepanama]

Jike gets tired quickly

[@andriigalaidin1241]

What's the song at 1:30??

[@kensaiporubal]

[@benzema90ful]

[@thianhaoang9003]

[@phatthuan4150]

Giao bóng có cần phải làm mầu thế ko..? Ngồi xuống rồi lại đứng lên..dọa đối thủ chắc..! Kết quả rồi sao..?

[@quinnbaker1935]

ikr. i was so mad.

[@jz-nx7nr]

49:25 Pretty sure they're yelling Jike not dima lol

[@ruiwang8024]

[@goldsword0531]

27:12 what kind of technique is this, is that impossible to hit it😅

[@chanjobshawking1287]

Im chinese and i am so glad i have the same nick name as his(ZHANG)

[@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i]

It's not a nickname it's called a first name

[@stirfriedfrog]

@@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i it's not first name, it's last name

[@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i]

@@stirfriedfrog why do chinese ppl say their names backwards coz he's zhang jike, so jike is his first name 🤷

[@TheJokieliu]

@@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i I mean why y’all say your names backwards... first name / last name is just translation we call that surname and given name

[@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i]

@@TheJokieliu i know that so do we call them the same but surnames come at the end and given names is what we’re called by the most 🤷🏻

[@李大嘴-u5g]

wang hao

[@johnhang8790]

zhang jike has BAQI

[@slatz20]

40:35 The Difference between the losing germans and the winning chinese in table tennis...8-10 for the chinese player and the german trainer has folded arms...

[@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i]

🤦🤦 that's his coach not trainer 😂😂 and that was a dumb statement you think others don't wanna win

[@jelenanakipova9556]

men'd

[@suneshjaya]

OH Yeah Ben Pork is right. The is a spoiler

[@ddj3678]

شويه باگك موزين ابو الاحمر

[@MrBandar877]

5:45 she's hot 5:49 oh wait never mind ...-.-"

[@dooki3face]

why do they keep touching the table

[@henrydnahl]

i know it’s been 11 years but basically its both to wipe off sweat because if you go to the towel and it isn’t a timeout or 6 point interval you can get penalized for wasting time and it’s also a superstition for some

[@lennyhuynh1502]

Palm sweat and to stay calm

[@tornadoakias]

in your dreams..

[@birdyashiro1226]

弄这么红，跟主场似的。

[@mattma5859]

又係龍... 終國冇咗條龍應該會即刻忘國

[@aimurzanaz]

EE

[@levthelion]

kinda boring if they cant keep the ball on the table for 3-4 hits.

[@kensaiporubal]

i wish Jike lost to Samsonov

[@elen3702]

鏡頭幹嘛一直帶中國隊教練......

[@clever34c]

因中國大陸隊的教練很會帶隊

[@addylam57]

因為佢係大滿貫

[@jasminejohnston6393]

How is ping-pong an Olympic sport?! If this is an event at the Rio Olympics I'm gonna laugh

[@mikef670]

i mean its a game of skill and very popular especially in asia, i dont see why you would think it sholdnt be one

[@fingerboard03]

Jasmine Johnston you obviously never played it and have no idea of that sport

[@tomlone1140]

keep laughing if u wish.

[@cjoe6908]

The same reason basket is one.

[@texbex2165]

While this game was in Tokyo, and one’s judgement doesn’t stand for the whole world.

[@АнтонСоколов-д5й]

No chance

[@RivendyRamadhan]

Semi Finals

[@spaceinvader384]

Great players with so much concentration, self-control, excellent skills, and tactics. Pro's are pro's, no doubt. Who knows how much effort and time they've devoted before they get to the world stage?

[@呵呵乐-z5k]
