2013 Wang Lao Ji BWF World Championships : Day 6 (10th August 2013) - SEMIFNALS

It's so obvious to me that Du just gave up near the end of that third game. How despiriting to see such a "loser" mentality! Yes, the chances are higher that you won't win today or tomorrow, but for goodness' sake, give it your all to the very end!

I dont think he mentally gave up, the body has been running on an empty tank for a long time....credit should be given to him for even making it this far with steely fighting spirit and iron like mental strength. When your body keeps telling you to throw in the towel, its really then all mental and mind over body...and thats only for so long before the mind will eventually succumb to the desire of your body to just give it all up and throw the match away.

Hehe, you know we are scrambling just to get a stream where we are. Bloody BWF put us on the blacklist so no youtube stream. Mind you, enjoying the Cantonese commentary :)

Here also lah, cos Astro has the broadcast rights, watching thru the official BWF channel is out. Then, CCTV or GDTV is too lagging

Yeah at least you have Astro, we have no rights carrier and yet no youtube. We're grateful we can find any source of streaming :D
 
Kinda weird to see Zhang Nan changed his shirt in the middle of the game (not interval) even the umpire disapproved :eek: Zhang Nan should has been given a red card instead of a yellow card :cool:

That was clearly a show of defiance by ZN over the calls that went against them in the previous 2 points.

i think that isnt a smart move. yah those 2 point are obviously against you. but these things happens. he should just talk to himself and move on. by acting defiance. it make you felt that not only you are playing against your opponent but also the umpire. it is 2 out of 21 points had they get themself together they could have win it
