Olympic Media Notes Olympic Media Notes: Sunday 1st August Day Seven Highlights: Friday 30th July Men's Singles: Bronze Medal Dimitrij Ovtcharov (GER), the no.7 seed beat Lin Yun-Ju (TPE), the no.5 seed (13-11, 9-11, 6- 11, 11-4, 4-11, 15-13, 11-7), saving four match points in the sixth game. It is the second time that Ovtcharov has won bronze in the men's singles event at an Olympic Games. In London (2012), he beat a player from Chinese Taipei to secure the third step of the podium. On that occasion, he accounted for Chuang Chih-Yuan (TPE). Dimitrij Ovtcharov has won a medal in every Olympic Games in which he has competed. Additionally, he won men's team silver in Beijing (2008), men's team bronze in London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016). It is the second time that Lin Yun-Ju has finished in fourth place in the Olympic arena. At the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games. he was beaten by Kanak Jha (USA) in the bronze medal contest. Dimitrij Ovtcharov (GER) has now won three of the seven matches against Lin Yun-Ju (TPE) at international level. He won the two most recent both this year, with the other being in the men's singles final at the WTT Contender tournament in early March in Qatar. It's the first time the men's singles bronze medal match at an Olympic Games has gone the full distance. Men's Singles: Gold Medal Ma Long (CHN), the no.2 seed, beat Fan Zhendong (CHN), the no.1 seed (11-4, 10-12, 11-8, 11-9, 3-11, 11-7). Five Chinese players have won the men's singles title at an Olympic Games: Liu Guoliang (1996), Kong Linghui (2000), Ma Lin (2008), Zhang Jike (2012), Ma Long (2016, 2020). Ma Long (CHN) becomes the first player to retain the men's singles title at an Olympic Games and win on two occasions. He has won whenever he has played; in London, in 2012, he only played in the men's team event. Ma Long has now won 16 of his 21 matches against Fan Zhendong at international level, yet as of 2019, it is only the third time he has succeeded in seven meetings. Since table tennis first appeared at the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988, it was the sixth all- Chinese men's singles final. The exceptions: Seoul 1988 when Yoo Namkyu (KOR) bt Kim Kaitaek (KOR), Barcelona 1992 when Jan-Ove Waldner (SWE) overcame Jean-Philippe Gatien (FRA) and Athens 2004 when Ryu Seungmin (KOR) accounted for Wang Hao (CHN).

  • Table Tennis Strokes: Power, Rhythm and Speed Combinations
    Table Tennis strokes: power, rhythm and speed combinations LI Xiaodong STROKE COMBINATION VS STROKE LINK Combination : Stroke combination as I understand it is relation between one ball and the following ball. This relation can between same kind of balls as well as between different kind of balls. The scope of combinations is very big. There are many combinations of rhythm, many combinations of power etc. Combinations can be more or less effective. I can play one ball with lot of power, the ball is coming back very fast, and if I try to play again with lot of power, it wouldn't be reasonable; usually it will not be as successful as for instance playing the next ball with medium power. An example of successful combination can be first powerful loop and then the spin loop with less power. Stroke link : The idea of stroke linking in fact is principally the same as stroke combination, however the idea of combination offers more variations. Linking is, as I understand it, continuous using of two various techniques, so this category is more limited. For example many people talk about linking attack with defence -'first attack, then defence', or 'first defence, then attack'. It is rather complicated. "First attack, then defence' link seems to be more difficult and is bigger challenge. Both links have differences - in attack you merely use your own power, in defence you 'borrow the power' a lot; in attack your centre of gravity is in front, in defence you centre of gravity is behind, in attack your swing is rather large, in defence your swing is short etc.

    Agência Estadual de Notícias - Paranaenses estão entre os melhores do ano do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil Esporte Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:16/12/2015 17:50 Ana Satila, Cassio Rippel e Amanda Kunkel foram homenageados na 17ª edição do Prêmio Brasil Olímpico. Os três são bolsistas do Programa Talento Olímpico do Paraná – TOP 2016 Três atletas paranaenses, em diferentes estágios da carreira, foram homenageados nesta terça-feira (16), no Rio de Janeiro, na 17º edição do Prêmio Brasil Olímpico, organizado pelo Comitê Olímpico do Brasil (COB) em reconhecimento aos destaques do esporte brasileiro em 2015, em cada modalidade esportiva. Atleta de Ponta Grossa, e que atualmente mora em Campinas (SP) – com vaga garantida nas Olimpíadas Rio 2016 – Cassio Rippel foi eleito o melhor do ano no tiro esportivo. O passaporte para as Olimpíadas foi conquistado com a medalha de ouro na prova de carabina deitado 50m nos Jogos Pan-Americanos de Toronto. Já a matogrossense Ana Satila, que treina e é federada no Paraná, foi eleita a melhor atleta do ano na canoagem slalom, prova em que tem se destacando mundialmente. Com um ouro (C1) e uma prata (K1) no Pan de Toronto, Ana Satila foi também, com apenas 16 anos, a mais jovem atleta da delegação brasileira nas Olimpíadas de Londres, em 2012, e busca agora se garantir na Rio 2016. O principal destaque paranaense no Prêmio Brasil Olímpico, porém, foi a ciclista Amanda Kunkel, de apenas 13 anos. Após conquistar três medalhas de ouro nos Jogos Escolares da Juventude, etapa para estudantes de 12 a 14 anos, realizados pelo COB em Fortaleza, em setembro, a estudante do Colégio Estadual Tomaz Edison de Andrade Vieira, de Maringá, foi eleita a melhor atleta do País nesta categoria, ao lado do judoca Leonardo Santana.
