You and suetyan have so much information on the Japanese players

Ha ha, the difference between suetyan and me is that she can read Japanese whereas I'm fumbling around second-guessing what they're trying to say. Anyway, the link to the high school tournaments is here, if you want to follow any uprising stars:

Good luck

Thanks, but I would need a lot of luck to be able to read Japanese all of a sudden

So Nozomi isn't invincible after all

. Too bad Sayaka lost to Megumi, but I'm glad that Megumi is doing well. Feel really sorry for her after she was dropped into the B team. Tomorrow's match against Shizuka Uchida should be interesting. Yuki Fukushima from Aomori Yamada HS beats Masayo Nojirino 17-21 21-19 23-21 in a titanic battle lasting 70 minutes

. She will be meeting mighty Minatsu tomorrow.

No the french in the first video for Flashmob 2010 ... HKV is just showing it for the Danish flashmob 2011 participants .... he is indeed the Solibad ambassador for Denmark and perhaps the organizer of the flashmob, now joined by PG I believe.

WOW!! I had been wondering how Ayane was going to fare against a top gun like Tine, but she performed brilliantly. She was fast, flexible, had a repertoire of nice strokes, chose her shots well, and had reasonable power. Even the coaches looked impressed. And lol, she did half a piroutte on court. Not just once, but twice!
