Man, look at that awesome crowd there... probably 3 times more than will be at the actual Olympic Games.

how bout ZJK? no match for zhang?

In the match between Wang Hao against Wang Liqin, the commentators mentioned the following points:

1.  Many amateur players attempt to imitate Wang Hao's RPB but it is difficult to learn well, especially those who have already established their TPB.
2.  Wang Hao has extraordinary power in his wrist creating a lot of power in RPB.  Perhaps the structure of his hand is different.
3.  Wang Hao has left a mark in table tennis history.  He saved the penhold style with the RPB.  Without Wang Hao, penhold may disappear.

To me, RPB has helped my game.

I could not agree more.

Correct

Doesn't have the best singles result in CTTSL last year, but do have 5 gamers against Liu Shiwen, Ding Ning, Guo Yue - now how many women TT players nowadays can achieve that

I thought that the intensity and effort they put into that practice match looked like ... a practice match!

I guess here is your best bet.
I couldn't find a official site, only news article or other forums.
During the matches, the commentator did comment who beaten who, but didn't always just game sets.

Maybe some one else have a whole list that they can copy and paste

Ma Long has such well trained "set plays", he just had the upper hand in terms of strategy at the crucial moments when his FH counterloop was not working (missed 3-4 in the last set). The last 2 points vs Zhang Jike were so masterful that they remind me of Waldner and Ma Lin.

1. Short heavy pure backspin serve into ZJK's extreme FH corner to force the push return instead of the sidespin flick, then an extremely well executed long fast push to ZJK's body where he just couldn't react in time. He didn't use sidespin as that would have made it easier to flick the serve.

2. Short no-spin serve with exactly the same motion to the same place(looked exactly the same, really unbelievable) which ZJK popped up and got killed. ZJK obviously was afraid of flicking an extremely heavy backspin serve in his FH corner and decided to control the point using a short push instead, which cost him the point and the match.
