Unfortunately, there were no pics to substantiate old Georgie's claims ........ Now just look at what decades of "Djarum Girls Stalking Experience" could do for you ...... The homely face of a Proton Girl Hides a very, ahem, decent figure ...... Pictures of girls managing the TBH smash challenge contest Girls manning the Smash, Save and Win Booth
From cutie pie girls, let us go next to the cutie pie players ...... 1 to 4 - The incomparable Eriko Hirose 5 to 6 - Valerie Sorokina, brilliant in turning a deficit into victory 7 to 9 - Nina Vislova, almost brought grief to the Indonesians in the 2nd game 10 - World Champion, The Beautiful Wang Yihan
Day3/Round2 A clown supporter of Indonesia. His voice is loudest in the stadium. He had an Indonesia flag made out of red and white shuttlecocks. Peter Gade (PG)'s coach (seems to chide): "But Peter, you are not a clown. Stop making a fool of yourself. You are a big boy now. Cover yourself quickly. Shame on you." PG (seems to ponder): "This is my last hurrah. Next year, I'm coming back as a coach. Then it will be my turn to do the scolding. Mua-ha-ha!" Taufik Hifayat (TH)'s tie-shoelace-trick (admiring his shoes) Code: delaying his game against Nguyen Tien Minh (NTM). NTM: (Oh, I have delay tactic too) "Umpire, I have to change grip. Sorry, I have no coach to help me." Let's get on with the game.
Day3/Round2 Eriko Hirose (EH) vs Wang Xin (WX) is another match popular with spectators. The crowd threw their support for EH to force a 3rd game. (Later, the crowd turned their attention to another match and WX easily beat EH in the rubber.) "I was blinded by the camera flashes." EH: "I'd better hurry out of the way. 'Kate Middleton' is approaching." Zhang Ning (ZN) seems to be scolding WX: "Don't give me excuse of your hair blocking your sight. Look at my long luscious hair. It didn't bother me from winning 2 Olympic gold medals." ZN (seems to muse): "I could model for hair shampoo, you know." WX not looking at EH (and seems to reflect): "Your resilience is going to make me suffer later."
Time for some real-time action pics ...... Here are some from the round of 16 - courtesy of two Olympic and World Champs, Lin Dan and Taufik Hidayat LD vs Jorgensen Successful Taufik attack on NTM: Tommy Sugiarto got into trouble with his coach - just look at the unblinking stare .....
An, ahem, tummy exposing smash, courtesy of KKK. Which was well-defended by the Koreans, by the way .......
Looks like abedeng is really a serious 'stalker' towards those girls...unfortunately he missed the earlier round action as the girl in round 1 is much prettier.. look at the picture posted by daniel
