    I like brunettes more, but Anastasia Russkikh is definitely not an ugly woman.

    I missed it.
    You used plural for girl, so I assume the other girl is good looking too.

    I don't think it was plural, I think he meant "the girl's face" but forgot the apostrophe.

    CB raises the shuttle making it so obvious. In fact, I thought at some parts the service judge was being lenient i.e. he only called the really obvious faults ones. Danes have got a much better understanding of what makes a service judge call a fault. I can't see an obvious fault for the danes, and you can't call a fault if there is a degree of uncertainty.

    The thing with CB`s serve is his non hitting hand slightly raised during the point of impact which make it more clear for the service judge to spot.

    but i dont think they are bias towards the european

    The HK presenter (Chan Chi Choi - ex head coach of HK) is impressed with Anastasia. He says she is very well balanced with her movements.
