How come no pic of the "bespectacled PBSI official"?

How come no pic of the "bespectacled PBSI official"?

Maybe too shy to reveal his face ?
Maybe for security reasons ??? Otherwise he may have problems handling the girls at the airport? But of course Bro Deng will be around to assist!

No BC get together = no bespectacled PBSI official pics ....... U can blame Simon for that, wakakakakaka.

I couldn't take pics during THE CONVERSATION because we were at a very dark corner - wouldn't look right. You would only see our, err, slightly overgrown midriffs.

WD Semi Final DEN defeated JPN

DEN's Christinna Pedersen & Kamilla Rytter Juhl (1) were G1 down to JPN's Misaki Masutomo & Ayaka Takahashi (3) but recovered strongly in the next two games to win
11-21, 21-15, 21-14.

The pictures told the whole story of the bruising but exciting encounter just over an hour.

The Japanese duo, with Takahashi down and holding on her thigh asked in agony:

"Oh God, what are they (Danes) going to do next?"

In reply, the Danes exclaimed loudly with ecstasy, clenching their fists and then danced in close embrace after their victory.

Pedersen even offered her racket to the spectators to celebrate their win.

A moment of confusion for Takahashi.

For a moment, Takahashi hesitated.

Which bird should I hit?

Snoopy's? or ,,,?

WYH is a smasher!

Caught on camera during her SF match against Han Li which WYH won 21-18, 21-12 in 39 mins.

Which of WYH's following smashes do you like best?

Now why does WYH seem to close her eyes when she smashes?
Is she afraid of hitting her opponent?

In any case, someone saw her at Changi Airport and thought she was a smasher even without her racket.

Seeded #6, the soft-spoken TPE pair of Lee Sheng Mu & Tsai Chia Hsin exceeded most expectations when they advanced to the SF by beating Hoon & Tan #4 MAS in the QF.

But awaiting the TPE warriors was the KOR duo of Ko & Shin, who themselves surprised many by doing as well even though they were unseeded.

In the end Ko & Shin surrendered but not without a gallant fight.

Lee & Tsai deserved a grand appearance in the finals, but were unable to repeat their earlier winning form and had to bow out as Runners-up to CHN's new pair of Cai & Lu.
