Very close, but now Japanese are back on the better side.. Is there a better side?! Just from the score
Olympics should bring out the best in sportsperson but in some players' cases it is bringing out the worst in them.
You must be kidding. Not their job to do umpiring. You could argue she wasn´t even aware herself of the double hit (of course she was but nobody would give away the point in olympic final...)
Their technique and physical condition are not good enough to compete with other top women players. LXR and WHY haven't won any SS title in a very long time. So I actually lots people i the field can foresee this results. At least myself is not surprised at all.
Well, Marin was playing better when she lost to Nozomi, WSX, Saina, WYH, than she did today against LXR. You can say it's subjective. Fine,let's just leave it at that. Marin is already in the final. I'm only concerned about LXR going forward.
I second this. The japanese would have done the same. Regarding juhls actions, she was very rude and the umpire warned her. Matsutomo was a little provocative. OG finals and everything is tense and she points a racket at her opponents face. A little childish i would say.
