    https://www.patreon.com/top8tt Ryu Seung Min(柳承敏) is a Korean table tennis player who won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the men’s singles competition. Along the way, he defeated 1992 Olympic champion Jan-Ove Waldner with 4-1. His opponent was Wang Hao. Ryu Seung-min plays penhold style. Unlike players like Ma Lin and Wang Hao, Ryu never uses the backside of his blade. Ryu relies on his outstanding footwork, explosive forehand loops and drives to win points. His top ranking was world number 2 in September 2004.

      Absolute legend. Seems though that he has the same syndrome as Wayne Rooney, the more hair, they got, the less crazy, they were. What a beast in 2004 though <3

      Os cortes de um caneteiro é muito mais potente que qualquer outro estilo sem sombras de dúvida..

      Os brasileiros a maioria são canteiros..
      Hugo oyama
      Cazuo

      Devido a influência japonesa.

      The reason why Seungmin Yoo is good is that regardless of whether he is good or bad, the game is powerful and fun, so it is fun to watch.

      やっぱり日ペンのパワードライブの威力は凄まじいな。また柳承敏のようなロマンあるペンドラ出てこないかな…

      Best footwork he may have, but he has losing records, some very embarrassing ones, against many opponents in the video. In the video, he looked vastly superior to Wang Hao, in reality, he only beat Wang once, but lost like over 20 times. Among penholders, he may not be even in the top five. Modern table tennis, one is defined not by his strength, but the bottleneck he possesses, which Ryu has a few.

      Regardless, Ryu was a terrific player, fascinating to watch. The way the game trends, we'll never see someone like him again.

      Man, that's incredible, there needs to be more studying done on how to promote different grip styles and playing styles through rule changes. Shake hand offensive is just far too dominant in the current ruleset. All these styles are still viable in amateur play but aren't as popular only because less pros use them.

      i watch his videos on tt tips since i started playing, and he was really a beast when he was younger, a real role model athlete

      4:46 show this to someone who say TT isnt a real sport. It looks so simple because the high angle shots takes away the perspection of distance and speed, but from this angle it looks absolutely insane!
