What's all this talk trying to deflect the criticism on Chinese badminton with meaningless asides about the marvel and beauty that is Chinese Table Tennis?
Wanna know why there is no "Olympic selection controversies" in Chinese Table Tennis? Because they hold OPEN selection matches/competition! WR No,1 Liu Shiwen lost, so there is NO controversies (just a lot of "pity") about why she failed to get "selected" for 2 Olympics, unlike Wang Shixian.
Wanna know why people love watching Chinese Table Tennis? Because EACH of their top 5 male and female athletes have a completely DIFFERENT playing style and personality, so it is always a joy just to watch ALL Chinese Finals.
Wanna know why Chinese Table Tennis has continually dominated the world arena? Because they have an open, healthy and competitive SYSTEM, instead of some kind of hero/despot-centered "(mis-)management"-- local players rise through their "ranks" through actual COMPETITION, and they are happy invite foreign athletes to trained with them (and are happy to export talents who are unhappy/stifled in China).
Wanna know why people are okay with ethnic Chinese players playing for European national teams? Because they are actual immigrants who earn their keep and raise the overall level of their national teams, and not some "refugee/welfare-parasites".
China doesn't so much "dominate", but actually LEADS the world in Table Tennis development and sports science.
This shows everything that is wrong with LYBWhat's all this talk trying to deflect the criticism on Chinese badminton with meaningless asides about the marvel and beauty that is Chinese Table Tennis?

It is not about winning or losing. And some fans have been annoyed by LYB's style of management loooooonnnnng before Rio. It is about the ethos inside CHN team, where we can see so many interesting personalities, but they cannot express themselves. Everyone now talk the same and play the same style.i don't think there is anything wrong with the chinese team. mgmt is fine & players are fine. this is sports. you cannot win all the time. it can be said china is a victim of their own success.
coaches: while it may seem like other athletes should have been selected, a case can be made for the players they did select. it's a balance between 'olympic experience' vs. 'up and coming youth' vs. 'who plays better at the big tournaments.' which would you choose? remember, you're china and winning is expected... the pressure is on.
players: again, the pressure is on. winning is expected. can you afford to relax and play like you have nothing to lose? i don't think that attitude exists on their olympic squad. you have everything to lose, and it kind of shows in their faces.
from my point of view the rest of the world is catching up while china is transitioning.
how long have china's top players been around? this is sports. you cannot win forever.
Yes they can-- Xu Xin just lost his single's match in the Men's Team gold medal match.... while Zhang Jike beat everyone except the new and improved Ma Long.That is both right and wrong. There is still some strange choice in table tennis. Everyone following table tennis just cannot understand why they sent Jike instead of Xu Xin.
Closed-mindedness is actually a sign of weakness-- that you are a special snowflake that cannot exist outside your "safe space".It is not about winning or losing.

While this type of leadership is indeed something frequent in Chinese society, it is not the only one. One cannot deny the success of LYB over 20 years, but there should be a better balance between team cohesion and personal space to develop, or more natural attachment between players and team.
W/e, in the end, Xu Xin never had a shot at the olympics and it is beyond retarded.Yes they can-- Xu Xin just lost his single's match in the Men's Team gold medal match.... while Zhang Jike beat everyone except the new and improved Ma Long.
What I cannot understand is why you use the word "right/wrong"-- this is sports, you win or you lose... it's not a morality judgement.
Ma Long also didn't get "selected" for the last Olympic-- and there was no loss to China, just personal grievance for fans of Ma Long...and look what Ma Long did to up his game in the last 4 years!

Aww, don't be so harsh on yourself-- you're not retarded, just upset that Xu Xin didn't consistently beat everyone else in the last 2 years like Ma Long....W/e, in the end, Xu Xin never had a shot at the olympics and it is beyond retarded.
