Vladimir Ivanov is 6.5 feet, sluggish maybe but have deep smash and employ different game play than Chai/Hong.
Goh doesn't smash like TBH-- but he has much better placement-- he's shorter, so his amazingly flat backcourt half-smashes at shoulder height are really a bane to tall plays like Chai/Hong (forehand or backhand defense???!!!).
not just that. they are very sluggish in movement too. didn't they realize this is Olympics semi final? the Danes are going for all the shots. which is what it should be.
