I think he is qualified already - no real doubt about that, as the next PanAm XD pair is pretty far below them if I remember correctly. Definitely looking forward to seeing the Canadians at the OG

Toby,

Does this statement need some alteration?

"Toby is a National Team Member of Badminton Canada, aiming to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England."

Yes indeed. I will change it to something much more interesting! Thanks everyone for all the support! It's been a crazy year, but maybe things will get even crazier. I hope to go all out at the Olympics and take advantage of the nerves of my opponents cuz in the end, I have nothing to lose, not a thing

In the meantime, enjoy this picture I made. Though there may be some truth to the picture, it is clearly meant as a gag

You and your team make us very, very proud, Toby. Not just players who fight against all odds, but real people with great talents outside the court, intelligence you are not afraid of using, and not a little humour. We are very fortunate to have people like you represent Canada. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Good thing she didn't hit Prince Charles with the birdie. That wouldn't have been so good for her. (His Beefeater guards might have gotten all Medieval on her).

I beg to differ,it'll be great if she did hit Prince Charles with the birdie, then the whole world will come to know this girl who dared to hit the British heir apparent !
