    Can't find the video, but it involved Fu Haifeng where someone lifted to the right corner box (he's possibly out of position) and then he takes a MASSIVE jump backwards and up toward his right side (he's left hand) producing a crosscourt smash that is both steep and massively angled.

    basically it ends up before the service line on the on the extreme LEFT side. His body was tilted a good 50 degrees and he was able to produce this shot with POWER. wish i could find it.

    also seeing a thai doubles player hit the sideways splits TWICE in one rally, because he didn't want to lift during a driving battle.

    Has he ever changed his shirt during the interval between games? I think that he should.
