Yi, speaking after receiving her medal from International Olympic Committee (IOC) Chairman Jacques Rogge, said: 'I'm very happy. I want to say thanks to China, to my mother and father.'I'm very excited and happy. I have been shooting since I was 13-years-old.'I've been up since 5am this morning. There was a lot of pressure on me.' --- It seems all the CHN athletes are under a lot of pressure, still a rousing start for the sporting superpower.
Kien Keat moving faster and lighter now, after cutting down weight and boosted by Andrew Kam's gold bar.
Too bad Kevin is in a really bad draw...he might not even get past Round 16 because he will face Sho Sasaki.
a weird scoreline from TS paused long enough...are they having an extra break before going to the rubber [TABLE="class: ruler matches"] [TR="bgcolor: #EBFAFF"] [TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"][TABLE] [TR] [TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]Qing TIAN [2][/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]Yunlei ZHAO[/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: center"]-[/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Lok Yan POON[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Ying Suet TSE[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="bgcolor: transparent"]21-11 12-21 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
Isnt the gold bar a tad heavy, make it heavier to move? One of Andrew Kam's gold mining factory being controversial & all
Throughout the Olympics,the common refrain is expect the unexpected - Koo/Tan who upped their game with a convincing win against a strong Japanese pair is one of many examples to come. Not a few clear favourites were known to have stumbled during the Olympics in the past and this time is no exception.
The scoreline above is wrong, look here http://www.london2012.com/badminton/schedule-and-results/ - it should be 21-11 and 21-12 , i.e. two straight sets.
