yes That's true. I hope this loss would not have a big impact on their double games and the rest of the Korean team. Hopefully they can concentrate on their doubles now.
I feel sorry for Kim/Ra, they deserve at least one gold medal after the way they've dominated the discipline for so long, but I guess that's the nature of sport. I'm glad for Rikke Olson though, she's come close in so many tournaments and just failed to reach the final hurdle, usually because her partners weren't quite up to it. Maybe she'll finally win something major. She's also another player coming to the end of her career after being one of the most consistent doubles player in Europe for several years. Is she retiring after the Games?
I certainly hope she does not retire anytime soon! Jonas has found a fantastic partner and they should have a few more good year to come! Rikke is notably the most consistent player in the doubles scene, and dubbed as the "queen of doubles" by some. I really hope she does not retire anytime soon. I wish them best of luck in the Olympics, and bring a medal back for Denmark!
this IS the real shocker of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes either!! I was like "What the heck in the world is happening?" Ra Kyung Min - Kim Dong Moon partnership is like sooooo goooood....even Gao Ling - Huang Sui lost to them soo many times in a row. and our fellow JR and olsen managed to twist everything!! Wow...wow wow.....
Oh man! Kim/Ra lost? They lost in games of all games! Well Olympics is always full of suprises.. there is something about Olympic spirits.
My eye balls almost pop out when I read the Olympic results......still could not believe the news until you guys confirmed to me. What was going on ??? Day 3, already so many surprises, USA Dreamteam lost to Costa Rica, South Africa won 4x100 mens freestyle relay, Lin Dan lost to Susilo...etc ............This is the greatest Olympics ever, it is the unpredictable that draws the world's attention.
yes, olympic has the environment whrere mental and emotional strength can beat technical and experience factors
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO especially being a korean myself and the biggest kdm fanatic, i'm really hurt rite now....
OMG!!!...i simply cant believe this at all....kim/ra lost?!?!..thats impossible....they are by far my favorite mixed doubles pair....they play is awesome....too bad i didnt watch the game tho....but everythings kinda going bad in my opinion in badminton right now...lin dan lost and know kim/ra and one of china's mixed doubles pair ELIMINATED....boy..i am not happy right now
Yes maybe something for Jonas after "16th August Men's Doubles Round of 16 - DEN - KOR 21:40 Unseed YIM Bang Eun / KIM Yong Hyun (KOR) beats No 1 seeds PAASKE Lars / RASMUSSEN Jonas (DEN) 15-7 6-15 12-15 "
i feel very sorry for kim dm, it's always been his dream to win 2 medals at the olympic games, and now it's shattered, and he had a good chance of acheiving it too, after all, he was top seed in mixed and not too bad in mens... poor guy... i can imagine him sucking in mens double cuz he can't reach his dream anyway...
He didn't play well, so he doesn't deserve his dream. I would've been sympathetic if he fought point-for-point like mad. More like he destroyed Ra's dream.
I'm sure you watch the match yesterday... Care to comment a bit on his game? Did he really play that bad?
Yea....can u guys pls post some info on kim an ra's performance???...i really want to know...coz i havent seen the game....also...u said that kim shattered ra's dream.........and in my opinion..not a very professional one...i've always felt that ra is the more consistent of the of two players......anyways...thanks in advance
