I watch the game too and i at first I thought that Du Li has to settle for the silver but suddenly she was so consistent in her last few shots... Its a pity for the Russian athlete but i'm happy for the chinese...kwun said:China just won the first Gold medal when a Russian athlete who was leading loses her calm by a tiny bit and misses her last of 10 shots.
yeah. i too thought the Russian will win. but she messed up the last shot. she probably thought she will win it coz she had a .3pt lead.*izzyC* said:I watch the game too and i at first I thought that Du Li has to settle for the silver but suddenly she was so consistent in her last few shots...

but wow, what a sport that requires extreme concentration, consistency and calmness. one need to be so mentally strong.
but i am not sure if i would spend a long time watching it though, not much actions...![]()
I switch to French channels to watch the Olympic Games - watching swimming, judo, table tennis, etc. It appears to me the French is showing more than the English. I also watch the American channels - NBC, but still unable to catch badminton.cooler said:quite similar quality required in archery as well. Remember how the korean trains their archers? hehehe
Our canadian CBC is showing synchronized diving, what a st--id sport. As much fun as watching synchronized sneezingThe later would still be more interesting to watch

Adel said:And all of you are right: it requires total calmness, absolute composure and is about the most inherently boring sport in the world.
kwun said:what stuck in my head is how absolutely *COOL*those shooters are in between shots. they all have their own way to keep calm.
also, they appears to be in still-frame mode on tv, but in fact, they are just there aiming...![]()
