the Chinese table tennis and badminton team had a joint fund raising for the tsunami victims today. there were a show (singing) and exhibition matches from both teams. in totaly, they raised RMB3,200,000 ! (~US$400,000) here are some photos..
haha, there was a match between zhang ning and lin dan here's the link to a video clip...unfortunately, its only available in chinese.. http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2005-01-15/23341353407.shtml
Nice clips.. however the matches are not very competitive but they did give alot of entertainment to the viewers.. the clips are just news coverage on the event.
ok apparantly sang/zhang were the referees for the lin/zhang match, which lin won... then cai/fu were the referres for a match between yang/zhang and zhang/gao...not too sure who won, but sounds interesting...whats more is that zhang jiewen was actually injured so people were really touched.. the third badm match was between xia xuanze and xie xingfang...its really funny cuz xia gave xie a 8-0 headstart and they were playing to 11 points....at the beginning..xia didn't really know how to play and so xie got two points to give her a 10-0 lead before xia won 11 points straight to take the game 11-10...
