true fighter? i mean its fing table tennis lol........ dont get me wrong to play at that level obviously few can do. but its like golf if u can stand u can probably do it as long as u got the skills
Bro, YT recommended this to me at 5 am once and I've shared this with all my friends, multiple times on platforms and I keep watching it ENTIRELY whenever I need a laugh, honestly one of THE BEST videos I've ever seen xD
I just love how serious the judge was at first by moving the board back in place then later she’s awarding the same guy with a point by moving the table to his advantage 😂
Who cares if it is a country by international law. I guess there is some debates. What's most important is what the people want and the rights and freedoms of the population.
Honestly this is probably the best table tennis video. Two guys with a lot of talent really playing with each other. Having a great time. I would have paid to see a match like this. I don't know if I want to watch another table tennis video after this because i feel like the rest won't come close.
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.
It's incredible , we are laughing our heads off yet at the same time we become even more aware of the incredible skills those two have. Who doesn't want to play table tennis after watching this? Pure promotion!
@@douchymcdouche169 Yes and no. It's delicate. Suffice it to say, Taiwan both is and isn't China at the same time. A more useful thing to say, in this context, is that Taiwan is more pro-west than the 'rest' of China and also has a much better relationship with the west.
This is what sport is all about. Both people having a great time, a wonderful show for the audience, even the judges handled it so well! I love this so much. These players showing what being a human is about, no matter where you are from or what your background is.
@John You sure there are no rules against using two balls or using their heads to play? Or moving the table around or changing the score? A strict referee could've given Saive a warning that they'd disqualify him. The officials definitely had the means to stop him had they wanted to.
@@gab5012 John claimed that there was no rule against it. I made a counterpoint to that specifically. Whether the match was a joke match or not, I don't know for sure, but I did read that it was some kind of official match, but since the weaker player didn't stand a chance against his friend, he decided to have fun.
It helps that the one clowning was getting his ass kicked. If it were there other way around I don't think the opponent or the judges would have been as accepting of it.
@@jeffwells641 I am just guessing here. But I think this match was supposed to be like that. Kinda like the Harlem Globetrotters when I was young. This was probably a Fun Match up for an audience.
I doubt they have football fields where this event took place, but they wouldn't work anyways. You'd need a hard floor given some of the tricks these guys pulled off. A large, desolate parking lot may be a better location.
This was wholesome and I love the judges not being..... well...judgemental lol. Both were fun. Had no idea this sport could be entertaining till there two lol. Bringing in the 2 balls... rotating the tables.. moving the board and going further away. That guy played into it he could of def got him on pretty much any of them but he played into for the audience to see how par the dude can go. Their ball control is insane. Way to go guys. And judges you were great! And to who ever put this out there...ty!
+rupertcow The expression of emotions is the same for every single human being. However the social environment of the person determines the understanding and meaning of the emotion.
As a so ametor player their speed is normal for professional but they have such an amazing control and different style during that fast rythim. And their moves are also so sharp and we'll seen
+Dank Memer what is ur problem? why bring racist to sport. If u can't enjoy anything without being racist , I suggest u go to America. The so called country of liberty. where white, black and other minorities are divided
To just see how casually Jean-Michael is playing and with sheer skill speaks for itself that how great of a player he must've been in his prime. It's definitely both the players just having fun here, but then the distance from which they both are receiving the ball, especially Saive, sheer class! What a fun, entertaining, unforgettable match!
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.
As if playing at a professional level didn't already require skill, being able to accurately hit goofy shots from so far away and with such precision all while putting on a show needs a whole new level of skill. Such a joy to watch! :D
@@yescoblol if you have this kind fun while playing with your buddies then, there is no harm if I say that you have the best buddies in your life, you are the luckiest one, your life is gold. God bless you man, never lose them.
I watched this 6 years ago, then about 3 years ago, then again today after Chuangs retirementannouncement. A classic game is always fun to watch because it's a classic game. There is a reason we call Sports a game, because that's what it is, a Game, something Fun to experience, to play. That spirit seems to have lost somehow nowadays.
I love their spotmansship. it's like jean-micheal called chuang. "JM: yo bud, wanna play table tennis in a stadium full of crowds?" "CC: sure why not, let's give them some entertainment"
When East meets West showing humour and sportmanship combined with humour at it's finest. A wonderful example of nations getting on and a lessonwe should all remember.
Di Dxpeo no, Taiwan is not part of China. They have elections, own army, own pinyin , own flag. Most importantly, Taiwanese dont want to be associated with the Chinese.
When you've completed the sport and just replaying for 100% achievements.
New game plus
True! 😂
The idea that this was a real match, not a movie, or a show, a commercial, or even staged, is truly what makes this the best match of all time.
Saive is a natural clown, he loves that shit. Have seen him doing it live when he and a few other pros came to my small home town, must have been around the year 2000.
This wasn't staged???

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.
In fact, Chuang Chih-Yuan is 40 years old now, which means he is about to retire. His highest world rank was 3 in 2003.
Chuang Chih-Yuan is very unfortunately retiring. He had a great career.
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.
@@benlex5672 That's absolutely awesome!! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Thanks for the update! I know nothing about this sport so it's appreciated :]
don't you realize this is the hardest game of tennis table? this is madness.

No, this is Patrick.
Now this is what I call *playing table* tennis.
沒想到我們桌球教父國外那麽多人看到
也是台灣之光的一種展現方式啦
一直以為他是很正經的人欸
沒想到那麽幽默
喜歡
Anyone else feel bad for that scoring lady?
She looked annoyed at first but I saw her laughing near the end too XD
Well she gave him a point when he moved the table so I don't think she's that bothered lol
I'd feel bad if I scored that lady. :p
In China all women they are like this. They are robots.
No
Never knew Agent Coulson was that good...
lol, this should be the top comment xD
it is
This comment is pure genius.
Hhhh so the Chinese guy works for Hydra then
true xD
As if playing at a professional level didn't already require skill, being able to accurately hit goofy shots from so far away and with such precision all while putting on a show needs a whole new level of skill. Such a joy to watch! :D

They literally need to rent a football field to play the tennis table.
lolololollol
right 🤣🤣🤣
The 4.8k who disliked this video are the hardcore purists table tennis players with no sense of humor.
Es verdad! No me había dado cuenta. Hay gente sin humor, les desagrada todo.
and they are all garage player. against their 5 yr old brother.
Well people paid to see professional penis play, not some goofy performance.
@@aktan4ik idio you idiot
@@aktan4ik , pennis are funny
The moment two balls got onto the table the umpire was like "I don't get paid enough for this shit"😂😂
yah but it was only an exhibition match anyway, so his job was kind of useless
hish11 TAIWAN NO.1
margaret lyon what are these exhibition matches for?
@@margaretlyon2115 it's an official match but they were good friend and after the result is clear they decide to have fun.
這是在用桌球表演慢才吧這兩個🤣🤣🤣
超厲害的啦哈哈可以把桌球玩的這麼歡樂又專業 表演得如果精彩 真的厲害
One of the few times I actually enjoy UA-cam recommendations
Mate I have been blessed with this, female athletics and 50 scientific differences between men and women. I must be on an enourmous streak of luck.
oh look everyone we got an elegant viewer with an exquisite taste in fine videos. Only delightful videos will satisfy this fella.
Faggatron if you say so
So does that mean that you doesn't enjoy watching a UA-cam recommended video at 3am of a turtle fucking a shoe?? What kind of soulless person are you?
It's midnight and I have school tomorrow. What am I doing
This is An alias now same dude
WhatsUpGaming me too
I have an exam tomorrow lol
same
This is An alias now omg same
Best example of a friendly match
And this is one of the moments when you lose the match but win the hearts
It's a show
Random UA-cam gold right here! Brilliant just brilliant
The best match he ever lost.
Or the best match he ever had. And he lost it. Or even though he lost it.
Etc.
Me and buddies usually play like this when we play, not with the extreme spins and prob not that distance. but its fun :D
@@yescoblol if you have this kind fun while playing with your buddies then, there is no harm if I say that you have the best buddies in your life, you are the luckiest one, your life is gold. God bless you man, never lose them.
I watched this 6 years ago, then about 3 years ago, then again today after Chuangs retirementannouncement. A classic game is always fun to watch because it's a classic game.
There is a reason we call Sports a game, because that's what it is, a Game, something Fun to experience, to play. That spirit seems to have lost somehow nowadays.
so true i love chess but not so great
Actually he didn't retire
Coach: He’s Asian, you can’t win, so just have fun
@Nictorious NZ Wow That was unexpected
@Nictorious NZ why are you taking that comment to offence
Nictorious NZ it’s a joke, but the Chinese are the best in table tennis, like they have to go ez on their opponents to not make it look too ez
Yes
@@pen5305 Why do you think he's taking offense to it?
Didn't expect to watch the _whole_ thing, but I'm glad I did.
same for some reason i just keep watching, and i even clicked on it because i though ugh why not i got nothing better to do with my life
It was so enjoyable how they didn't even car about the points it was all about having fun the judges probably lost count when they went double balls
I did the same thing. Nice to see everyone in good sport and enjoying themselves.
Hahah, same. I like how they turned it into a show
I wonder if this was planned from the beginning. It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters play table tennis.
I love their spotmansship. it's like jean-micheal called chuang.
"JM: yo bud, wanna play table tennis in a stadium full of crowds?"
"CC: sure why not, let's give them some entertainment"
Van Fahnel reminds me of law and paul in aftercredits on tekken 5
When East meets West showing humour and sportmanship combined with humour at it's finest. A wonderful example of nations getting on and a lessonwe should all remember.
How i end up watching this xD
i ask myself the same question:))
branchyapple not the only one I was watching the metal detecting then this lol
branchyapple #relatable
branchyapple Same
I was watching handling tarantulas....now I'm watching 12 minutes worth of men play table tennis with erotica sound effects. o_O
can't beat the chinese , let's just have some fun .
not Chinese, Taiwanese.
Helena York You say he is not Chinese ? Taiwan is part of China , dude .
Well that's not true but at the same time true
Di Dxpeo no, Taiwan is not part of China. They have elections, own army, own pinyin , own flag. Most importantly, Taiwanese dont want to be associated with the Chinese.
Di Dxpeo Im half Taiwanese...so...I have the right to say that I have no connection to Chinese or China. Over 80% of Taiwan dislike China.
