2010 Bitburger Open Grand Prix Gold - day 1 - (Sept. 1 - 2010)

OK folks, 10 minutes to go, time for a coffee first
let's see what is waiting for us after that exiting last week.
The new names hopefully perform well. Hope the INA team got everything right now, what a mess the officials created with the Visa stuff here, on one side German badminton wants to promote the sport, on the other side officials do not do the simple job
Anyway, lets see how far Olga and Victor can progress, WTFTMS is also here, so I hope it's gonna be a good show, at least nothing better available this time

 

Just found that we got some improvement, hopefully it works. From the homepage you can watch live stream on 2 courts.

hope it works as it should - and also I do hope there is no region restriction. If there is any - call the guy and complain! it should work!

sorry folks, just checked it and it did not work, I called them - the guy responsible is not yet there (still too early I guess LOL) - anyway, they gonna fix it, I do hope soon

 

sorry, can't give off-court information, I'm still in Berlin starting tomorrow we should open a new thread called 'starting day 2' - that's fine. If Cheng Long has a longer match and his fans comment each and every shot next, we can open another one LOL.
Looks like Cheng Long wants to prove that he's gonna be the one challenging the new Champion (don't wanna open a new #1 discussion LOL) next
but right now - still without stream - Marcel, C'mon, save my fanbad!

 

called them again, this time I got the voice box of the guy working on streaming, hope it works soon.
Dicky is on the way now, looks good, live score works , but indeed we need the stream

 

hmm, have to change my fanbad, have picked Rune for next round, but he's struggling in first round already
Marcel Reuterj's done his job. at least one local guy in next round.

 

Rune took first game 22-20, second 11 all - may be no need to change anything

 

now the stream is working, finally they managed to fix it, seems it is not technology 'made in Germany' - at least I hope so LOL

 

we got a rubber - first one? hm - need to keep on watching, may be Pavel will force me to change my fanbad

 

rune leads in rubber 11-7, looks good

 

ok - Rune stepped to next round 21-16 in rubber, time for a break

 

later we get the new danish wonder on screen, gonna be back for that
