2016 Rio Olympic Games : Day-8 (18th August) - WD Gold Medal, WD &MD Bronze Medal, WS Semifinals

Go JPN and beat the Dens and wipe the sneaky smirk of Pedersen's face!

 

Anyone beating Marin makes me happy

 

I really doubt LXR will play that bronze medal match...

 

an hour or two ago, LD vs LCW was slated to be the first match on Friday.

Now, it is the second match!!!

 

Sneaky racist smirks

 

You can read her lips, she asked "Are you ok?"

Anyway, partisan crowds will find all kinds of ways to disparage a player they don't like-- people even try argue/prove that players who allow their coaches to carry their bags are disrespectful and show poor sportsmanship....

The correct and legal definition of proper on-court sportsmanship/ gamesmanship is in the rules and not in the minds of fans-- whether you like or dislike a particular players is another thing altogether. E.g. Chen Long is a perfect gentleman on court but I ignore him whenever he plays ambassador for badminton.

 

I almost cry watching her lying down like that, looking at the ceiling of the stadium..

 

Sindhu's victory over Nozomi is more impressive than Marin's over an off-form LXR.

 

racist is a bit overblown... I just hate her "wasting time service" strategy.

 

Hope P. Sindhu wins ws. Not sure whether to root for Japanese or Danish pair. No Chinese pair in wd.

 

Fu Haifeng /Zhang Nan winning won't be bad either.

 

More like China completely lost at the net as well as service-- serving badly at their end and allowing the Brits to get their serve through on the other....

 

Yeah anyone beating the ultra arrogant GVS makes me happy too.

 

brilliant performance by pv. .she is in some form i must say, marin wouldn't be easy though. .anything can happen, its a 50-50 chance.

 

i thought she had a heart attack or something. i stopped breathing for a few seconds..

 

hope for a speedy recovery and not as bad as the injury sustained by Bellatrix causing a year-off badminton, major operation and rehab.
