GCisms - the Definitive Gillian Clark Collection

I know. She does it anyway. No idea why

I find it especially funny because I could spit on both their heads - even LYD, who seems so tall in the media, was not at all big when I walked past him in the German Open. Shows you how short most badminton stars are

Then again, I'm not exactly average.

The one you are sweet on always looks taller.

... and that opens another Pandora's box for the GC thread: Whom do we think she fancies?
I suspect that she likes FHF and Chen Long because she is often describing how tall and powerful they are.

I would place my bet on Ko Sung Hyun! She always gushes over him, saying what a strong athlete and remarkable he is.

Gade - I'd bet my HOUSE on it!

LYD only looks tall because he plays next to a former employee of Willy Wonka

. Really, Jung is tiny.

Yeah. When he walked past me, you could confuse him with a child....or rather, three children walking next to each other

He's almost as broad as he is tall! When he walked on court, a friend asked me if he had implants in his calves, they looked absolutely huge

Your English house, eh?

Which typical English dwelling is most like yours?

JJS belongs to LOTR.

He's the Gimli of the real world ("Look! I killed one at the net!" - LYD: "That's nice. I just finished my 4th one.")

Speaking of him and Fu - "Look at the HEIGHT on that JUMPsmash! Goodness me!"
"It's not just power, is it, it's the angle as well..." which is actually more Fu's specialty than Jung's

"Oh, that was heavenly" she purred yesterday, after WYH completely flummoxed Juliane Schenk with net deception.

**Mark A** · 12-16-2011, 03:36 PM

The phrase "tightspinningnetshot" comes out of her mouth as though it's all one word

.

Jung gets crazy angles - like me on a stepladder.

**j4ckie** · 12-16-2011, 03:44 PM

Well not as good as Fu, where the shuttle often lands in front of the opponents defense...still better than me though, and I'm freakishly tall by Asian standards^^

**drew tze en** · 12-20-2011, 07:33 PM

most players aren't that tall to be honest
Chen Long is definitely tall Chen Jin is slightly shorter then Chen Long but Lin Dan is about average I'm 5"7 and he was slightly taller then me.
Lee Yong Dae is average as well.

**rogerv2** · 12-21-2011, 01:38 AM

Hmm .. I noticed that she says this a lot
"Ooooooohhhhhhhhh my word .......... What a wonderful raaaaaaaaallllllllly.

She is my favorite commentator.

LD is 5ft 10in, while LYD is 5ft 11in.

For asians, they are not exactly "average".

Now CL is 6ft 2in and that's tall for asians, as Bo and Mo are only around 6ft 1in.

**Mark A** · 12-21-2011, 04:25 AM

I also like her intra-rally stuff

"Ooh, that's clever..."
"Good defense..."

delivered in that sultry whisper of hers

When I met them, there wasn't a significant difference from my perceptive
