    I think nerves will play a big role in this Olympics given the lack of tourneys prior to it.

    Watanabe has good placement on the smash, not as much power. Still quite effective though

    Poor Jeremy Gan, I don't think the players are listening to him. he talks, and then Watanabe Higashino are speaking Japanese amongst themselves.

    Why are the Thai pair smashing at Watanabe so much? Should be aiming attacks at Higashino

    Yuta knows a little bit of English, not sure about Arisa though - so I'd guess that they're translating Jeremy's brief advice, and then leaving it to themselves to figure out the rest.

    Watanabe definitely the most talented player in his disciplines at the moment. Really hope he can take out the gold medal in both, XD is more work though looks like he's doing 80% of the defence.

    Arisa's touch around the net is pretty meh unless the shuttle is above the net, all the creative shot came from yuta
