I was there when they played it. Every point lasted average close to a hundred exchange. It took so long, the crowd was cheering at every shot. It was really an attrition game, because all they did was clear, smash or drop, then clear, clear, smash, clear, drop, clear. Those girls were really toughing it up. The sad thing is that at the end, Jo had a leg cramp and Akao (I think it was her, but not sure) was overexausted and couldn't stand up anymore. And she was transported via a stretcher.... I think it was an excessive vagal response that didn't follow the shutting down of her adrenergic system at the end of the game. Which is why you should never stop suddenly after a big exertion. Walk a little bit afterwards so that your adrenaline system smoothly calms down.
