    Don't worry about that, they annihilated Ko/Yoo in India Open, I'd expect more of the same. ;)

    Completely nonsense statement. Him and Howard got to the Olympics on their own merit.

    LOL.:D but yes, some people do tread very close to the line.

    Let me add that Pramote Teerawiwatana of Thailand was about 37 when he played in the 2004 Olympics.

    Pramote was a real playmaker and read the game very well.

    I don t know what a troll is but I wouldn t say he s said pretty much nothing. At least he s done some research but tends to express and highlight the negative aspects. I have a lot more respect for him than someone who s saccharin positive, making honeyed comments based not on research data but a lot of hot air and coloured imagination. If you don t agree with his exaggerated comments, then do your bit to give another point of view. Must say he would do very well in the news media. Has the gift and guts of lifting out and sensationalising newsy stuff. Not a good idea to ban him.

    A pretty decent first day's action, if I may say so myself ......

    On a day when the Polish and Russian Mixed Doubles pairs made their respective lady opponents cry, this just shows how much is needed to maintain composure in an Olympic competition.

    Hey, even the vaunted Korean male archers failed to land gold ....

    Most interesting is how much the so called no hopers brought their A+ game to at least make the favourites struggle, very decent performances from the Czech good looking girl, the Aussie WD and Malaysia's Tee Jing Yee, for example ......

    May this continue in the following days of competition.

    I agree. How can we be calling Olympians craps when they are all be ranked at least 100th in the world?

    I think in every sport forum we will find those kind of people who like to bash players and tend to speak his mind without concerning much, like others feeling who happened to be fans of that certain players.

    So far his/her level just bit annoying but not so much for me since I've seen some worst than his/her, with pure hate and bash in every single comment, not in this forum fortunately.

    And limsy, you should post how to put someone into 'ignore list'. :D
