    You are right. I just came back from a badminton game so my head is still spinning.

    My prediction, sort of, came true. 17-15 :D. I am quite surprise that the Malaysian pair didn't win the 1st match.

    At this rate, we won't see a Olympic final re-match. I think Robertson/Emms will be big favourites if ZJ/GL can't crawl back.

    mmm...well i guess the motivation to train may not be there anymore? anyways, i'm just hoping that ZJ is working on his smashing (and hopefully placement:D) and will peak at the WC anaheim:)

    also audina - mori should be interesting....wonder is mori has enough in the tank to go 3 sets?

    yeah. they have won the biggest one twice, but never won the second biggest one. that is what will keep them motivated if anything.

    keep in mind that Gao Ling did play 60mins in the WD.

    but then so did Saralee. the Thais are greatly improving lately. Saralee/Sathinee are already in the semi.

    I think this is also the first time that South East Asians are having so many world class WD pairs. This year's SEA Games for badminton is gonna be a star-studded field.
