Match of the evening.. russia md pair against china scratch combination.. Russia pair nearly create an upset by displaying some unbelievable badminton that makes the whole stadium crazy and chanting 'RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA'!! I believe it is the crowd's cheer that keep the russian pair going.. at one point ivanov even raise both his hand to tell the crowd to cheer even loud!. I thought i was in Russia at that moment!

.. Anyway, ivanov was especially very sad and disappointed with the loss..

-TIAN qing/bao yi xin are seen warming up on court before their final match which is the 2nd match in the order of play.. Very rare can see bao yi xin long hair...

-Technical officials are also seen having their rehearsal going on and some workers also voluntarily appear on the podium receiving mock cheque and gold medal to ensure everything runs smoothly according to plan..

WS match between tai tzu ying and upcoming chinese youngster, YaO xUE..
TAI-Phoon played some wonderful shot and manage to trick yao xue to 4 corners of the court enroute to win the mas open title..
Her style of play also remind me of happy go lucky kind of play..

Really impressed with her no pressure and stress kind of style

congrats to SUPER TAI

Meanwhile, pics of those who also present there

Jan O to coach: I would like to follow Tzu Ying's style to avoid being stressed up next time.!
Coach: Sure, i've always given the 'twinkle' hand sign to boe/morgensen and all the doubles pair.. you will be the first singles player i will be doing it with both my hand!

VIPS...

Everybody was very interested with whats happening on the other side of the stadium.. They are all looking interested towards the patriotic and energetic malaysia supporters over there..

And not forgetting Jan O Jorgensen as well.. No wonder he likes to play in Malaysia..

after the ws match ended, all the photographers competing against each other for the best spot to take nice and beautiful podium photos.. So any Bcers photographers here? What number are you?

I only know number 8 is the special one
