IS WCQ AN HONORABLE CHAMPION? |
Igor is frustrated again against Chinese because their Russian comrades are extinct from the world scene. Why don’t Igor talk about Boosting on European players?
Igor face it Wcq is the alien wonderkid

Posted: 5 hours 6 minutes ago at 3:45pmcouldn’t resist and watched the last game just to catch WCQ doing the full Harimoto. IMHO, while he did it loudly and in his face, it was not nearly often enough. Wonder why?

Why do you bother answering him? Obviously something is wrong – maybe speed glued too often back in the day?

funny no one says Ito will be this and that by whatever year. HT is only 3 years her jr and yet people often / always use that he is only 19 to predict great things for him |
Ito is 22 and she is largely the same age as the people she is competing against (google the ages of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha). So I am not sure whether your point was hypothetical. She also has playing style issues, as it is generally accepted that pips introduce risks. Even if Ito improves, the competition is largely expected to improve at the same pace agewise, but Ito has to take more risks because she doesn’t loop. Moreover, while it may not be politically correct to point out these things anymore, men and women mature at different rates and at different ages. As others have pointed out, Harimoto is currently. competitive and he has repeatedly shown that he is willing to continue to try things to improve. We all know from our own experiences that there are stark differences in experience and perspective as men that we acquire even up until we turn 25. When we compare Harimoto to his peers, the age difference is always relevant. But when we see how much risk he is willing to take to improve, the trend is even more impressive. Google the ages of LYJ, Moregardh and WCQ and compare to Harimoto.

I don’t think you are alone. But Harimoto has managed to make that close to the table game work and has significantly improved his forehand and how it fits into his game in a way that was not easy to see even a year ago when he had made Improvements but many of us never thought the changes would get all the way there.
It would be nice to see LYJ play Harimoto again to see where their respective games are against each other. This is a weirdly scarce matchup in TT given how good they both are.

Both are serious challengers – LYJ took Ma Long to a fifth set this tournament, and took FZD to 7 sets in the Olympics, he’s definitely no slouch when it comes to Threat levels against CNT. Also LYJ plays better against European players than Harimoto for some reason (probably because of him being a lefty)
