    I have a dumb question. It is obvious who gets the gold and silver medals...but who gets the bronze? Is there a bronze medal play off, for those that lost in the semi finals? If so, Bao Chun Lai better redeem himself a medal..not to say Shon Seung Mo deserved nothing for his efforts.

    Imagine if there was a bronze medal play off....

    Mia Audina T v Zhou Mi
    Shon Seung Mo v Bao Chun Lai

    Mouth watering matches...plus they would not need to be asked to step aside and stand down..

    *was gonna put Mia's full name but can't be bothered

    there will not be a bronze medal match. there will be two bronze medalists who will be the two losers in the semi-finals.

    Yes, so far only the Olympics has the bronze play-off matches.

    So will we see the players get awarded the bronze medals? Are they obliged to attend the final ceremony (Bronze winners).

    I'd guess some of the Chinese players would be a bit disgusted!

    Bad for tV.

    On Friday I watched Quarters from 8.30am to 5.30 am following day.

    Then Saturday night 7.00pm to 4.00 am, how many people can do that ?

    Real torture.What;s it going to be like in 2005 in LA?

    15 points for mixed and ladies doubles is a drag.

    Disagree and agree, mixed to 15 is good. women's doubles to 15 points is boring. Bring the 11 points per game back fr women's doubles and then intiative play will be plain to see.
