The many faces of Bernadette Szocs

and at the end of the match, she deserved a good...."in your face" defeat :)))

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."

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.

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.

(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?

would like to see the epicness of this! Anyone?

Dear Connor,

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.

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.
