i was googling.. and found this picture. its of Yoo Yong Sung and Lee Dong Soo after they won the semi-finals in the 2004 olympic games.. i dont know if this has been posted yet, or if this thread should go somewhere specific, but i thought i'd share this picture with the rest of you guys.. Lee Dong Soo's jump is so crazy high and look at those arm muscles! http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040830/olympics/winners/pages/wi3.htm
Camera angle? He doesnt look like he jumped that high if you compare him to the badminton net =P But if you compare him to his partner, it looks like hes levitating .
there is a certain precedence to this.... http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8114&page=1&pp=10
