EVEN back in 1997 the camerawork quality was better than what is now in 2020 -_-
best comment. Also the angle here is great!
2023 for that matter. We’ve been complaining about it for years and it still seems to only get worse
Wtt doesn't even have sound in 2023.
Check out Waldner - Xie Saike 1983…
The best match from Vladimir Samsonov that I have ever seen !!
С Ма Луном в 2009 в 7 партий было покруче. И качество игры, по ощущению, там повыше.
How good is the quality of 1997 match video.
Even pirated porn have better quality than ITTF nowadays.
Dear ITTF, please upload more KLH matches , his style is so unique and in the internet there aren't many vids in good quality with him like this. I suggest also his doubles matches from Sydney and Athens Olympics, 2003 WTTCs - especially doubles final and singles quarter-final against Qiu Yike (who eliminated Timo Boll, that time No.1).
Samsonov is always credited for his passive Skills - his Blocks, his touch, serves and receive! But people forget that he was an offensive machine as well! His Bh-Topspin was and still ist rock solid!
The best all round player.
Samsonov was a beast in 1997
This is Vladimir Samsonov at his best form ever
A great match. One of Vladi's best; Kong played well too. Still amazes me he beat 4 Chinese players on his way to the final - including Kong, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin.
Who was the last? Ding Song?
@@Barman4200 yes
@@drdre5286 Makes sense. Samsonov's quite the chopper killer!
@@Barman4200 Yep. It was Ding Song.
When you're a descendant of Confucius, you already know you're about to succeed in life.
In the 90s, besides Waldner, Samsonov and Schlager were China's greatest threats. That's because their players had many weaknesses, i.e. Kong relied mostly on his forehand while Liu depended solely on his serves. All these weaknesses were gone when Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Fan Zedong, & Xu Xin were on the team.
Samsonov remained world class for longer than any other player that I can think of except possibly Waldner. It should also be mentioned that Jorgen Persson has remained a strong player for a long time too.
Timo Boll?
@@nicol.660 He's up there too. Samsonov is a few years older than Timo Boll.
No, he is definitely better than Waldner, 44 yo in the top 30
@@marcant0145 I remember Waldner at 37 years old in the olympics in 2004, defeating Ma Lin, who was in his prime. That's hard to beat.
@@pukulu That's certainly a good performance, Samsonov has been more than 25 years in the top 30 and also recently defeated China number 4 Lin Gauyan.
Vladi and Linghui may have retired BUT their shots are really iconic; a real reincarnation of the Swedish game legacy transcended from Waldner and Persson
Столько лет прошло, а Самсонов играет до сих пор также классно!)
So glad to finally be able to see this match. I wanted to see how well Vlad played to beat Kong & reach the final in 1997....since the only widely available video of him in this tournament is in the final itself, when he ran into the brick wall that was a mature and unbeatable Waldner and was overwhelmed.
And, Vlad did indeed play aggressive and excellent stuff!
wow Samsonov at his top. beating one of Chinas best player. and then he got dominated by some North-European guy in the final.
Yeah, that Swede guy kinda played with everyone. He must be quite good.
Samsonov playing like an old fox even when he was young! Always the schemer, just when you think you won the point, he’s suddenly well balanced and makes a strong topspin block.
Is there any player who has consistently beaten Samsonov? Challenging his consistency and spin seems so awkward.
Waldner and Ma Lin.
Also Ma Long after the 2009 World Cup defeat@@dickn.ormous1064
Nice quality!
BH chop-block is embedded in Kong's DNA!
Definitely, Vladi is one of the best players of all time
finally a decent framerate
I think this is one of most diffcult match for kong & match againt kim taek soo.
Conheço esse esporte é um esporte mais muito mas mental. De guem têm inteligência pra rebate a bola i tu também gasta esforço físico também.
Awesome match!
4:39 "This is where the question mark is. Has he got the big p..."
what a match!! grandmaster vs grandmaster
I love Vladi.
Nem sei como é gue se ganha devo apanhar todas perder todas nesse esporte
Is this what speedglue sounds like?
サムソノフのバックかっけぇなぁ〜
この後ワルドナーにボコられるとは思えないほど仕上がりがいいw
JZK's idol :))
この後、化物と当たる事をまだ知らないサムソノフであった…
団体戦の時は圧勝したのにシングルスでは別人だった。
What match is this ?
ITTF WTTC 1997 MS SF
samsonov so handsome then
孔令辉的力量太小了，尤其退到中台后，经常主动球得不了分
Who else finding the serve weird？🤨
U alone
Kong Linghui is a 76th generation descendant of Confucius.
