Sure, you can't use the same trick and expect to win the game.. It is about the moment, that moment you see in the video.. Not before and not after.. The Sweden player was smart to play it that way, and the Chinese player admit it, first with anger look and than smile for it..
Yes. I particularly loved this dude + Mateja Pinta duo. Really takes the sport to the next level in terms of entertainment. Especially for someone who usually doesn’t follow table tennis etc He is very funny too lol
They all smiled. Fan Zhendong too. It was a good final with a clear winner. That ball, he should have got round the table and easily won that ball too. As now. Beautiful.
He cannot do that. He obviously didn't see that it was a heavy backlooping snakeshot. He cannot just commit himself and go around the table on a "hunch" because this will leave him insanely open afterwards. No one actually dares that except Moregardh and Xu Xin back in the day. Fan couldn't see what Moregardh actually did under the table in that insanely short amount of time under pressure. There was just no way he expected that. That's why it's called a "magic trick". It only works once but you cannot prevent it from happening once, if it is executed this perfectly. In an Olympic final this is mindblowing and Truls will forever be my personal hero for eliminating Wang Chuqin in 1/8 finals. I still haven't had the chance to watch this match (can someone provide a valid link?), but it will forever hold very special meaning. No one else deserved Olympic silver more than Moregardh this time, I wouldn't have accepted anyone else in finals. Gold would've earned him the title of Olympic China Titan Slayer forever, but Fan did actually deserve gold. He took the heat from Harimoto and went into God mode aferwards. Missed his chance against Ma Long in 2020..... It was the same when Ryu Seung Min defeated Wang Hao in Olympic finals 2004. There are these unique historic table tennis moments and we just witnessed one in 2024. I'm still so happy being part of this (A)LIVE this time
"... can be amazing too" are you implying that this one Olympics 2024 is amazing?? So all this crap from day one with the satanic opening, man beating women, dirty river swimming, breakdance nonsense and so on it all was amazing so far???😮
For people that dont play ping-pong professionally. The amount of spin on all the shots was absolutely diabolical! Especially the third shot of the rally! It had insane spin!
hey, I just have to ask, why is this shot SO hyped? I mean yea its cool for someone like me who never played pro, but like, this is the olympics... this HAS to be something that happens pretty often, no???
@@townsend50 no my friend, this is very rare especially considering the caliber of players in this clip. Usually any time you play the snake at this level, you are going to get wrecked
Yes, and when above table they usually hide spin by quickly moving the racket two different directions but too quick for eye to determine which direction ball is hit. Sometimes body parts are used to block view of spin, often the other arm or the head. There's also constant turning of the racket to switch between black/red side which have different effect on ball.
We can dream. Two Olympic silver medals is pretty good, but Waldner actually won in 92 and had several golds in the world championship. Truls needs a lot more to get to that level.
@@adjoub Clearly he is saying that Truls is on his way to have an equally lustruous carreer as Waldner, and I am saying that he has a long way to go to solidify himself in that rank. He is young and exceptional, but he needs to grind it out. All I am saying is, it is far too soon to tell what he will be.
For the people that dont play tennistable professionally Truls Moregard in 4 shots have : 1 serve .... and....2 chop block.... 1 snake !!!!! Other pro players maybe have 1 of these shot in the global Olimpic Tournament . Truls have 3 ionly in this point !!!!!!!!
to set this snake up Truls had to do some amazing shots first to make FZD go in 100% defence to even get the ball over the net. Giving Truls the time and oppertunity to do whatever shot he prefered.. And he choosed this one
@@charliecederblad8900 Yes, but he had completely relaxed before his ball hit the table. No, I agree with the OP: he knew that the exchange was already over.
Adam Bobrow is no slouch at table tennis himself. Very high level amateur player. He has a whole YT channel about the sports, where he goes around the world popularizing TT. And ... he's the master of snake shots.
It's often like that in table tennis. some situations are more important than others. If the set is about to be lost anyway then the losing player might save mental focus for next set and meanwhile do some fancy silly trick shots just for fun or adjusting different details with no pressure before getting focused again. In this case he was already losing the match, yes.
'Snake' is a technique where you hit the ball from underneath the table so that the opponent can't see how you hit the ball. The hit has added a lot of spin making the direction of the bounce unpredictable. The technique is less reliable than other shots, so you rarely see it at a professional level.
Fun fact, there has only ever been 1 non asian player to win gold in table tennis at an Olympic game. That person is another Swede named Jan Ove Waldner who won in Barcelona in 1992. He is a legend in China.
Best example for play smart not strong..
That smile from both player ist a joy, love it

The way he comes across in person is the same way as he plays, Happy Warrior from little Eslöv, no ego just plays with joy.
Heja Eslöv!
Cool! I get used to live in Eslöv)
The way he swings his arm to lure FZD to think its a sideways spin is amazing.
Adam Bobrow likes this :))))
Seeing and commenting his own signature move on the big stage?! Bet he does!
I was looking for this comment😄
I came thinking of this comment. Thanks.
Adam can't snake at this level lol
I think his second shot after the return is insane too... crazy play!
yeah, I thought so too!
That smile of FZD 😅 Second funny moment of table tennis after that match of Saive vs Chuang
That first backhand counter from Truls is soooo creative!!!
Wonderful commentary. The kind that makes you fall in love with the sport.
Yes. I particularly loved this dude + Mateja Pinta duo. Really takes the sport to the next level in terms of entertainment. Especially for someone who usually doesn’t follow table tennis etc

That dude is Adam Bobrow. He is one great CZcamsr for table tennis and his signature shot is „the snake“ 🐍. That makes it even better 😅

is it not because the opponent could not see the spin he put on the ball?

Thats our Truls 🇸🇪😂😂😂❤
Fan was ready for either (left/right) spin... but he wasn't expecting a backspin on that. That's next level snake ‼️👌🏻
So did he really do that under the table to hide the spin? That's a whole dimension I didn't know about the game

Nobody talks about why Truls didn't even set up for Fan's return after that snake shot. He knew.
He did. He backed away a bit from the table and to the right side which would have been the most likely place the ball would go to if Fan reached it

Sweden did sooooo well for a country with a total of 7 people who actually play this sport at a professional level.

This is some anime-tier gameplay

The problem with this shot is that it was a zero risk shot. The Swede was on the brink of losing and this was just an attempt at highlight reel
It's often like that in table tennis. some situations are more important than others. If the set is about to be lost anyway then the losing player might save mental focus for next set and meanwhile do some fancy silly trick shots just for fun or adjusting different details with no pressure before getting focused again. In this case he was already losing the match, yes.
Can anyone explain? 😢
'Snake' is a technique where you hit the ball from underneath the table so that the opponent can't see how you hit the ball. The hit has added a lot of spin making the direction of the bounce unpredictable. The technique is less reliable than other shots, so you rarely see it at a professional level.
