Unbelievable table tennis rally. 😱


story

The Commonwealth Games table tennis semifinals may not normally draw a lot of media attention, but this rally between Segun Toriola of Nigeria and Gao Ning of Singapore was worthy of it.

Ning smashed the ball repeatedly, but Toriola continued to back up and play solid defense during the 41-shot rally.

Ning went on to win in five sets to help Singapore advance to the finals.

This is competition at it's finest imo. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline and focus for Toriola to not concede in the slightest bit once he was at an overwhelming disadvantage for the point.
