XXF was in bad form today and I thought she is going to lose today. Both LD and ZN was watching her playing and both of them were worried.
Based on XXF not so good performance in new scoring system, LYB probably asked Zhang Ning not to retired soon. Cause if XXF don't play her usual self in old scoring, China Squad really need ZN in next year Sudirman Cup. The question is can Zhang NIng stay till next year or even Olympiade 2008? It will be a record for ZN if she can play in Olympic 2008 and win.
She probably already made a record this year by being the oldest women single player to reach no 1 in IBF ranking.
XD results still not out yet, anyone got the results? I try to grab the link of the live telecast using Project URL Snooper but can't get it. Hopefully someone can record it for us as I got to work tomorrow. I think Cai/Fu is still very strong for Chew/Hong but hopefully they can give the chiese pair a good fight.
Don't know about you guys but I think the official website is plain terrible. Slow, mostly inaccessible or down (many times!)
Thanks for the link, looks like the people added another Q in the url... So that means the only upset is KKK/WPT losing to the taiwanese pair
Yes, they should have tested all new links to make sure these are working. In this case, it is easier for them to fix the problem then us having to figure out what should be the correct pdf filename.
Here is the Day 3 pictures: http://www.badmintonrepublic.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=37958#37958 I was too tired yesterday and I forgot to post the pictures XXF was in deep trouble and ZN was trying to help her out and spent a lot of time talking to her. LD was worried standing at the sideline watching her playing. CH was also in trouble early and he received some advice and made some changes at the game 3. He was lucky to get the win out due to the error made by the line judge when the game was 19-19 at game 3. The smash shot should be in, not out (by the Malaysian), and we all believe CH could have lost the match if the judge called it right.
very nice pics BJ. what kind of keeper rate are you getting? are you using 85/1.8 most of the time? thx.
It was all right Normally, I spend some time waiting and make sure that I have my left eye watching the viewfinder and the right eye watching the game to see if there is any potential frames. Then, all I needed to do is to press the button at the right time. (normally, one shot would get the job done, but I tend to shot for more ) Yep. 85/1.8 all the way baby ! (It's the only event that is good for 85/1.8 to stay up all day because after the 1.6X conversion, 85->135, which is a traditional length )
