    even their bags are regulated. i hope Yonex, Li-Ning, Victor know about this.

    now we understand why the Olympic edition bags are so muted when it comes to logo sizes:

    Hmmm... what if a player shaved the Victor or Yonex logo on their head? That's not part of the attire is it? ;) :p

    When I saw the Malaysian team, I thought there bags looked kind of funny as there wasn't a big "YONEX" logo on the side of it...l

    The biggest news to date is definitely..

    ..as mentioned on the Olympic headline news, the rescheduling of all the matches was the biggest news to date..

    - Almost zero badminton players went to the Opening Ceremony...considering also the travel & traffic time to/from Stratford area..Although today, i was told by one of the asst. players organizers that abt 1+ bus took some people to the event.

    Here are rest of the players photos taken at the WPH :
    - Saw WYH running wildly into the hotel and then out the door as if she was chased by a ghost (she ran to join the rest of her teammates).
    - Yes, saw LD sneaked out behind Ma Jin..actually most of the entire team took a late afternoon stroll to the arena area..
    - Saw Zhao Yunlei..
    - Saw Boonsak P. & the other THA players
    - Security personnel as vigilant and friendly as always..
    - KOR players & staff/coaches incl. Kim Min Jung..
    - CAN players mingling about in the lobby area..

    Boxing is boxing, Tae Kwon Do is a lot of kicking and Judo is a lot of throwing, grappling and arm/leg bars. Why not include Muay Thai in the Games? It sure does requires a lot of conditioning if not better conditioning than the aforementioned MA disciplines which, could mean gold medals for South East Asians!
