The OG champions are in deep trouble. Xie/Zhang are looking good for the title, 21-14 11-6.

 

[lin_xingfang]

question: why didnt XZB/ZYW played in the 08 OG??

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time

based on rules..
one country can only send 3 pairs maximum if only the third pair ,in this case (Xie/Zhang) ranking must be on the top 4 (like in MS and WS,CHN can send 3 representatives because there was Lin Dan,Bao,Chen in the top 4 MS,and also XXF,LL,ZN,and ZL in the top 4 WS)...

pity XZB/ZYW ranked 5th at that time before OG,so they did not qualified to play in OG

mean while...CHN pair lead 11-8 in the 2nd game
