the best part is that they were completely random

Its so nice to see the judges joining in on the fun! As well as both the players joining in without saying much to each other!

Chuang is legend. Still fighting in his fifth Olympic game. Hope it’s not his last dance .BTW, I never saw him smile during a table tennis game until this game 🤣🤣🤣

What I understand: Saive is very skilled. Saive is severely outmatched. Saive is a freakin comedian. Chuang has a heart of gold and plays along, turns out he is also a freakin comedian. The officials are LEGENDS. EDIT: Apparently Saive was not outmatched, just having fun in an exhibition toward the end of his career. I mean, clearly they are both incredible players, that much is obvious. I didn't mean to imply otherwise

Jean-Michel Saive (his brother is also a ping-pong player) was belgium's most gifted and durable p-p player. He went to seven Olympiads and was our country's flag bearer. Respect for this great player and sympathic human being. JEAN-MI !!!

No Saive does not appear to be outmatched. He is goofing off and having fun. He consistently gives his opponent easy slams on purpose and yet keeps returning them. That is not criticism of his opponent, only a defense of Saive's skill.

be honest! Have you ever watched another table tennis match in order to be able to compare?

Saive retired about an year after this game, having played at the Olympics a record 7 times straight since 1988, when the sport was first introduced there. Chih-Yuan is 15 years younger than him and currently the world no. 26 with a bright future.

Chuang is likely going to retire after this Olympics. He played during the period where the nation did not fund athletic training programs and spent all his savings and some more to build the first dedicated table tennis training facility.
