Many times already, lah, MAS GP, GSH gave 21-0. WC got JPN pair give 21-0 in WD also. Where were you?
Ok first thing first. Official result site is rubbish. My college juniors designed better pages for Inter University Games. Second, visited and saw matches (this weekend) at stadium. Packed with people of all ages and everybody getting cheers, except unless they are palying against Indian player. Third, WMC against Lee Chin (Mauritius) was playing horrible. She should not keep much hope if she continues like this. She is the weakest link in Malaysian group (I don't think people will doubt this fact). Finally, the match between Daisy (Uganda) and Sofia (Flakland Is) was the most rubbish match I ever saw in my life. This is CW Games and you know how the first 10 points in the match was earned - all service on net. Even the coaches from the two countries ad parents of Sofia could not hide their laughs at the level of match. Hopefully, we get better badminton today.
Who is this Lee Chin? Is she Karen Foo Kune? It was a pretty decent match actually, in my opinion. Despite the lopsided scoreline, there were quite a number of intelligent rallies. The weakest link in the Malaysian group, by far, is Lydia Cheah. Not WMC. If WMC were weak, she wouldn't have been able to steal game 1 from Saina in the Mixed Team Final, and almost do the same thing from 5-11 down in game 2.
By weakest link, I meant amongst the medal probables. WMC may still win a medal though. Don't know about Lee Chin and Karen Foo are same person. But during the match WMC body language suggested she just woke up from bed. Fans were expecting much better from her.
Hmm... Hmm... I double doubt that... she definitely has what it takes to NOT be the weakest link... as abedeng said, Lydia is more like it... I actually watched that match... could see who better suited the 'horrible' - WMC or her sad opponent... WMC played good match, not as tough as the team final but definitely not horrible as well... horrible was Karen, I believed... she was sent all around the court and my oh my I nearly flinched over the sight... and mascara on the badminton court ... that's the first time for me ... perhaps I fail to watch many tourneys to miss out such norms (is it not?) p/s: Karen with her good look and her way of playing, oh dear...

It is very disappointing to hear that. Perhaps some immaturity but I hope the Canadian coaches put her in her place for showing such behaviour. She is hardly good enough to display such arrogance. Who does she think she is? Lin Dan?
England is really attacking at the Mixed Doubles title, they have 3 pairs in the quarterfinals and Anthony Clark/Heather Olver looks to be the most promising. Against them are 2 Malaysian pairs, and 1 each from Scotland, India and Singapore.
At no point did I expect Lydia to beat Susan. Not even a chance. All those who though otherwise, time to give your head a good shake
Wong Mew Choo vs Elena Johnson (GGY) 21-5, 21-10.. she will meet Aditi Mutatkar in Quarter Final.. Go WMC!!
Maybe she is Lin Dan in diguise ..... wakakaka. Anyway, Michelle Li had just defeated Xing Aiying 23-21, 21-12.
Ok I must be wrong. I watched the match. Defeating somebody from Mauritius with such body language is not a good sign. And scorelines do not always tell the corret story. As for the term "weakest link" perhaps I should clarify once again - weakest link among the medal probables". Lydia is there, but is counting her for medal. (Note to myself, avoid commenting on popular players, especially if the player is WMC)
