So many stronger players showing their vulnerabilities, forced to go the full distance before surviving. It's becoming the norm for the Olympics.
the best they can do is to win 2-0 in their last match. then they will have same matches won as the JPN pair but they lost against them eailer on, so no matter what JPN will be second in the group
and here I was thinking she was just there to annoy peopleby the way: Does anyone else have problem with BC? I can only visit the forums via proxy
Wow, Fujii/Kakiiwa are losing to TPE WD after beating the other two teams?? I am sensing 'something' here. Maybe they want to avoid TQ/ZYL on QF??
Mizuki Fujii / Reika Kakiiwa (4) opt to become B2, thus they'll face Christinna Pedersen / Kamila Rytter Juhl [B2 vs D1] instead of Tian Qing / Zhao Yunlei (2) [B1 vs D2] on the process gave assist to TPE and sacrificed IND pair.... smiling TPE, tearing IND.... could it be an East-Asian connexion
yes, occasionally BC server is jammed for a flick, becoming not available, then in seconds back to normal, refresh the browser, everything is fine. Looks like BC is getting more hits in this Olympic festive... increased popularity
Another veteran Pi Hongyan went the distance to take out Chloe Magee, 16-21,21-18,and 21-14. However,Inthanon's victory over her POR opponent was one-sided. She's on course to cross swords with Juliane Schenk, a pity either of them has to be out of contention for a medal.
So, team GB's challenge is eliminated with the defeat of Rajiv Ouseph. Excellent work, Kevin Cordon in his favourite hunting ground .....
All these tough challenges and some upsets is good for world badminton at large. Those who were given the chance to cross swords with top players really took their chances well to perform at the highest stage.
