Oh wow.. didn't know that...learn new things every day... thanks Congrats to Chn for the Gold and Bronze and Kr for the Silver.
Honestly, Korean LD can't win. Too many unforced errors and mistakes. The Chinese pair play very well. Congratulation. The spectators are very good for the whole weeks except today, they booed the Japanese when they cheering they own players.
I can only say, the overall is acceptable. Booing opponents is very normal, that's why we call it "home court advantage". Yes, I don't agree with some fans' behavior. However, fans have emotion, be it on the court side, or here in the forum. Not surprise the relationship between CHN and JP, due to all the history. And we need to factor in, CHN are the ones eliminate ZJW/YW, and we know how popular ZJW among fans (male )
so i did wake up for the evening session, but was so tired i was in and out of sleep most of the time. i really woke up at 7 or so and managed to catch the medal ceremony. a bit disappointed to have missed the match. but lo and behold, i got into work and they have been broadcasting the olympics in big projector screens in the cafeteria. i grab my breakfast and sat down to watch the whole WD final. i am glad i came in to work early today. many people did walk pass the tv screen but none did more than giving it a glance and moved on. maybe they have better things to do.
Next Olympics will be here in LONDON, and GB is the best ( or 2nd best after denmark) in Europe, can GB do something to protect Badminton as a host?
hahahah... same here, only difference is, I was watching during my lunch break. A few ppl even asked me some questions regarding basic rules, and they were amazed how fast the game can be played. Oh, they are amazed how short the hair DJ/YY have...
ok thanks, and is it decided Badminton will be removed after 2012? it's amazing something like Cricket are being considered O_O
I'm actually very afraid that an Olympic held either in Chicago, Rio de Jainero, or Madrid might not support badminton... Tokyo, on the other hand, seems like a hospitable place for badminton... Drop handball! Include golf! Leave badminton alone...
That was an April Fools joke. If you read the date on that article it said April 1st. Don't worry, I got tricked by this too.
Start planning for 2012... ..kwun, that way you won't have to be in and out of sleep most of the time. Wished if you were able to come and join us for this yr's OG, though (ya know, this won't come again)..
