World Table Tennis Championships get HD coverage -- can it get any better?

You know high-def is well on its way to "arriving" when the World Junior Table Tennis Championships secure HD coverage, don't you? While the vast majority of you will likely laugh this off as some sort of promotional stunt, we can't help but be pleased at what this could signal about HD adoption overseas. For the first time in the history of the tournament, viewers in Spain with access to the high-def version of Canal+ will be able to see the team and individual finals in astounding clarity. Negotiations are currently underway to get the HD feed beamed out to more nations, and even if you're completely disinterested in the sport, you should probably hope that pans out.

I hope some table tennis broadcasts make it to the USA in HD! I saw a little bit of table tennis during the Olympics, but most of the coverage was online only.

If the NHL could figure out how to do the same, that would help!

I'm curious to see if the ball will be clearly visible or a blur on my LCD.
