great technology..... i have some picture to share wif u all..... from zhang ning blog.... <FONT face="Times New Roman">This is actually a timer for the intervals during the games. It shows us the time remaining before a game starts, and also tells a player how much time is left for them to take their short break during the intervals. This has not been used in tournaments before this. I think it’s nice!
And this picture is a machine that is put beside the serve judge. We just have to put the tube of shuttles on it and it will shoot the shuttles out for the player who wants to change the shuttle automatically with a touch of the button on it. This one is very high-tech, but I have not seen the judges using it today; maybe it is still not practical enough? Or any other reasons, I’m not sure. Anyway, these two things are really new to us. Ha-ha-ha…

Lin Dan breezes into badminton quarters -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/10/2007 16:05 Lin Dan knocked out Chinese compatriot Liu Yuchen 21-7, 21-7 to advance into the men's singles quarterfinals at the 2007 International Badminton Tournament in Beijing today. In the 18-minute two sets, Lin Dan stamped his world No. 1 authority by taking a 14-point lead in the first set and had a complete control of the second with powerful jump smashes and varied shuttles to secure the win. "My opponent Liu Yuchen is rather young, he needs more training," said Lin after the match, adding that the airing facility of the gymnasium is the best he ever experienced. China's second-seeded Bao Chunlai and Vietnamese fourth-seeded Nguyen Tien Minh are other medal contenders for the men's singles on Oct.14. Along with the men's singles and women's singles, the men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles are also being held in three courts on Oct.10-14 at the Beijing University of Technology (BUT) Gymnasium, the badminton venue for 2008 Beijing Olympics. Xinhua ------------- one knows when he got owned when someone tells him u need more training
Pretty techie.. ..stuff there...For the automated shuttle feeder, it's interesting how the mechanism actually works?? Are they going to take out all the shuttles from the tube and fill them in the mechanism?? And I wonder if that mechanism will soon replace a human feeder..
