watching women's team event Susilo ex-gf playing. if TT can have team competition, how come badminton cannot?
singapore leading 2-1 in women team semi-final interesting how the players can examine each other's paddles before the game. "yo, Lin Dan, let me check ur racket to make sure it is legal, alright?"
I think I watched her when I was in China.....is she the one that always hits the ball beneath the table height? I am watching the Sailing....no wind delayed start, but racing now. Qingdao looks nice.
They just replaced the doubles events in TT by the team events. They only offer 4 golds in WS, MS, WT and MT.
its so the players know what kind of rubber, texture, and color is on the paddle. that way they can anticipate what kind of spin is on the ball, depending on what colored side the opponent strikes the ball.
Kwuns point though was why are they allowed to do that. You don't see LCW checking LCW racket to see he has Bg 80 at 32lbs today, mm maybe he will play with more control!
Wow Singapore beat South Korea..............is that expected? Guaranteed a medal, only the second medal in their history (since 1960). They will play china or HK (China!) in the final.
congrats SINGAPORE for winning their first Olympic medal since 1960! Singapore is guaranteed a silver and they will fight for the gold against China.
Congrats to SG team... a SILVER is well deserved... Glad that they beat S.Korea but no match to the mighty CHN team... congrats for the SILVEr...
