USA is taking ready champions or ex--Champion.
Not SG.SG's 3 players were all underdogs in table tennis
when
they were recruited.They were,i think ,outside 100th
rankings.
2 out of 4 team USA players came from PRC,1 local born ABC,
and i am not sure about

When 2 PRC born players were recruited,they were wearing
medals
covering all their chest!!But WANG
Chen and
GAO Jun
were old in this field,aged 34 and 39 now.
Who did buy ready champions?Sure not Singapore lah.
This show USA dare not take risk
and no plan to train
young players:
