... in a single match. 1. The "I don't like to rally with pips" face
2. The "that serve is wicked high" face 3. The "I'm not going to pick up the ball although it was on my side first" face 4. The "it's getting hot in here so I'm going to cho in your face" face Source: Found these first two sets of the match very amusing due to the fact that Bernadette showing some unsportsmanlike tendencies. Maybe I'm wrong and she has what we call in US a "resting b**** face", but watching the video might give you an insight on what made it so entertaining and amusing. PS. Xiaona Shan is looking wicked good at the age of 30.

It's easy when you are winning and has all the answers. Look at Xiaona Shan's face in her defeat at the Euro Champ (? the one against the SWE) and compare it here in this match.

Xiaona wasn't winning, though. She was trailing at game 5 to 9-9 against Szocs

I didn't watch the whole match, just a little, and I assumed that she was winning because Szocs don't seem to know how to play pip hitter. But again, check Xiaona's expression at the EC and compare it to other when she is winning and you can't say Scocs is the only one with a face and/or this is justified: "Found these first two sets of the match very amusing due to the fact that Bernadette showing some unsportsmanlike tendencies. Maybe I'm wrong and she has what we call in US a "resting b**** face", but watching the video might give you an insight on what made it so entertaining and amusing."

Yes, I saw the match too.
I think the OP is just trying to show that Bernadette has the "face" on top of that annoying cho/screaming she always does

There is one thing to win the point and cho as you are turning around raising your fist in the direction of your coach/bench - that's fine IMO.
... BUT its another thing when you cho in the direction of your opponent ESPECIALLY while starring at their face + if its on your opponent's mistake - that's not fine at all. 12:17 of that video is an example of what im talking about. In basketball/soccer that's a technical/warning, should be a yellow in TT as well. Seems like Szocs and plenty of other players (Cory Eider for example) do that quiet often.

Choing or screaming in a game is annoying even if is not in your opponent face.IMO. These situations happen in many sports. I'm not sure in soccer is considered a fault. Take a look at the mighty Maria Sarapova ,how she screams when won a point in the opponent face in almost all of her difficult matches.

See... This type of nonsense needs to be changed for the professionalism of the game. They need to receive a warning/yellow for being disrespectful. Another fine example of this nonsense, where Michael Landers' coach had to cho for him to counter the nonsense Cory Eider was doing during the game. Edited by DreiZ - 08/09/2014 at 11:54am |

I also remember years ago the boys final between a Chinese and Japanese. (don't remember their names) It was a tight match, the Chinese boy was chooing excessively during the match and the Japanese boy was quiet. Until the last game, I think it was a deuce and the Japanese pulled it off. He screamed "Cho" multiple times on top of his lung to his opponents' face, who was very sad. Anyone saw that video?

Dear Connor,
I can't help but note your tireless work to find pictures and videos of attractive female tt players. In recent days, we've had posts from you on Ms Szocs, Ms Pota, Ms Papadimitriou, Ms Her-Lee, Ms Pesotska, Ms Mitchell (who isn't even a table tennis player), and Ms Yeon Lee. I know that you've posted on lots of other things, but I must admit that I'm starting to think that you might be just a tad obsessed. You may think you're helping but I don't actually need you to find pictures of pretty girls for me. I'm quite capable of doing that for myself. In fact, I'd rather do so without any help from you. As one mature male to another (you are 56 after all and not a horny teenager), please think before you post.

I watched the entire video and I'm pretty sensitive on the subject of unsportsmanlike behavior, but I didn't see much here. Just someone who is very intense in her game. There was a big cho at the end of the second game but not excessive choing during the games. Mostly I just her as competitive and focused. And I thought she made some good adjustments in the second game after losing the first. |

Found this one from 7 years ago - two best junior girls of that era (and they play pretty well now, too) - and I don't hear Bernadette yelling at all. Must have acquired it later somewhere... coaching?

Lol, i think Bernardette won with the last one, i don't think Lin can cho like that. Seriously, i like Bernardette but not that thing of "choing". I can't understand the last cho in the video, it seemed like she just won the match and she was screaming like crazy. I don't care about a lot of things in table tennis (for example, the Zhang Jike thing) but this kind of annoying behaivour with no good explanation should be punished. |

connor posts on a number of topics, some of which I'm interested in reading. Why should I miss out on those topics just because connor is there? Also, I am interested in women playing table tennis just as much as I'm interested in men playing table tennis. So why should I miss out on a thread that has a woman's name in it? If connor was to start a thread on Irene Ivancan or Amelie Solja or Lee Ho Ching I would want to see them playing table tennis or discuss their equipment or style. How come connor has never started a thread on Li Xiaoxia, ranked no. 3 in the world? Or Wu Yang, ranked 7? Or Zhu Yuling (5) or Elizabeth Samara (19)? Perhaps it's because they're not pretty enough? Or sexy enough? How come connor doesn't start threads on men, complete with photo montages of them flashing their flesh? Be honest, j-bo: isn't it just a little bit creepy to have some 56 year old male you've never met posting pictures of girls for you to ogle?

It is a little creepy and I would personally never start a thread like this, but if I have to choose between clicking on a thread with hot table tennis girls or clicking on the 10,000th equipment thread on the outer ply construction of someone's Tenergy 64FX edgetape Falco Booster, then I choose hot girls please. |

I love the OP opening post and the humour in it.
I can see this being applied to those players who expose their feelings in their facial expressions. Perhaps, The many faces of ZJK or Ding, would be good. |
