    I agree that CMs screaming is definitely to much, but regarding the fact that she would be bad for badminton i dissagre, this kind of stuff makes the matches more interesting, and she definetly helps in making the sport bigger in Europe, especially in spain.

    Li Xuerui, treat the Olympics like you did the Uber Cup, and you're as good as gold.

    LXR looks nervous, not loosen up yet.

    She should be OK once she settles in, make it quick.

    I think there are many more skilled players than Marin, for example LXR, TTY and RI. But Marin has unique combination of skill, speed, aggressiveness and attitude.

    Yonex tournament shuttles with packaging made specifically for the Olympics. (probably partly due to Rule 40)

    Nerves affect your touch and accuracy, relax, steady.

    What an error-strewn match. Nerves all round?

    yeah. but i am not sure 100% if that specifically for athletes or it applies to the organization as well. perhaps there is a different general rule regarding 3rd party brands in Olympics.
