    This one I agree!

    Furthermore JOJ is devilishly handsome, punky and unpredictable! :D

    Now JOJ has finally given me back a little confidence though the match is not over yet, he is leading 14-12. But an unforgetful turn of error-filled events will turn this confidence to naught. :(

    Yes MM and her WD partner Takahashi, are both easy on the eye.

    However, though the Japanese girls wear skirts, they are mini-mini skirts that hot air will not affect them. In any case they have been showing off their legs for all to see.

    Whether it is in the sixties or 21st Century, time doesn't matter when it comes to beauty. :D

    JOJ was shown yellow card for showing his frustration by throwing the shuttle towards the audience..

    Meanwhile, HuYun won it in style.. Congrats..

    So sad, the higher ranked JOJ has failed to come up to my expectations.

    I guess LCW will have an easier time. But will Hu Yun surprise us again to take the crown?

    It was a fantastic journey for HY so far.

    Chen Long lost for nothing and Jan beat Lin Dan for naught - ugh! Hu Yun will be lucky to break into the double digits tomorrow - I guess a runner's-up cheque is better than nothing. The same applies to Tai.

    Hu Yun is another chinese player from the previous era of pure skill and attack, before he moved to hk... Unlike the deficient mechanical players with height and nothing else that China produces nowadays sigh.

    Indeed to her LCW can do no wrong, against any player.
    Every single game of his she commentates is 85% showering endless praise for lcw

    Miscalculations by the Chinese.

    Thankfully we are a talking of a superpower which miscalculated in badminton at this JO and not a miscalculation in the use of nuclear weapons. Would letting Hu Yun leave the national team? some years ago I only guess, be another miscalculation? But of course, Hong Kong SAR is now part of China, members of the same family.

    Had Hu Yun beaten LD, instead of JOJ, it would have been more memorable.

    Same result. LD wasn't interested or he wasn't ready to play LCW.

    Nope, it is not the same to me. I will support HK players anytime but not CHN players.

    Not surprising to me that JOJ lost, he's back to his real self, nothing unusual. It's much easier for him to play against Lin Dan and Lee CW when he is not expected to win, just let himself go, play freely and above himself sometimes, almost every shot turns out right, with the pressure all on the opponent, typical underdog advantage.

    But generally quite true, JOJ would put up more resistance against Lee CW tomorrow than Hu Yun based on past records. Still I hope Hu Yun could surprise us by rising to the occasion, at least push LCW hard and give him a run for his money.
