There is no way he is born in 1997.  In a government sponsored system like that, one is greatly motivated to change his/her age. At certain level, if you are 14 then you are nothing special, but if you are 12 then you are a genius. So it is not Chinese association that does it at the national level, but the families and the regional programs. I think a lot of former communist sports systems share the same trait. That being said, for international competition it doesn't matter that much since no one really compares but it does make China look bad. All of these, of course is based on guessing. At any age, this guy is phenomenal.

Do not ignore that it wouldn't be the first time for any country to fake birth certificates of their athletes in any sport. And since we are talking Table Tennis, it would not be unbelievable and not surprising for China to have done it in FZD's generation. Before the new policies and control system were put in place. And also, do not pretend that FZD looks his age. Do not lie to yourself. As I said in my previous post, for all we know, he either matured very early for his age or his age is faked. It's up for everyone to chose which one they want to believe but you can't ignore the plausibility of either one.

I am not sure if Fan's age is real or not. As for as look is concerned, I don't think you can tell if his age was changed by one year or even two, simply because some boy does mature a bit early or late.

It is a reasonable guess to say Fan may be older than his ID age, but his look shall not be the reasonable evidence. That's why you need an ID card to buy alcohol when you are around 21.

In the following link, you can see a picture of the class of 2012 in a Chinese middle school (or grade 9 in US). They are supposed to be 16 years old. Some of them may be 17 or 15. The teachers are seated in the second row, but those two on the right are students.

If they were CHinese tt players, could you tell which one (or ones) had their age changed? frankly, I cannot tell.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on the guy in the bottom left corner. who is the BS here?

Back to the topic, Yan An and Fan Zhendong beat Zhou YU and Fang Bo in the PK for the final two picks.
Now, those nine palyers in the final round are
Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Hao Shuai from fan's votes,
 Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Xu Xin and Chen Qi from the second round of trial
Yan An and Fan Zhendong from the PK for coaches' picks.

I guess Wang Liqin's fate is completely dependent on the results of the final round. If a couple of tickets to Paris fall into the hands of Hao Shuai and Chen Qi, Liu will propably drop Wang Liqin. I think it is a smart move by Liu; it is obvious that Wang Liqin would not qualify for Paris as top five in the final round.
