    So far, all the chinese players who played today all advanced to the next round. This makes the chinese "army" still only have 1 new XD pair being out in the WC.

    Such good performance, especially for the MD pair fighting through 3 tight matches, and put another Danes pair on the road back to home. With 2 Korean pairs are out, since even the chinese pairs want to share the big "pancake" right now.

    For Bao CL, well, seems that he's improved, at least, mentally... ;)

    Hehe, actually, not only one pair. Yesterday, there is one WD Chen Lin/Jiang Xuelian lost to INA players also, though they are not really a bidder for gold medal.
    And Lin Dan and Xia XuanZe, must be out one soon.... :(

    Really... sorry... even did not know they are also playing. Guess I was focusing too much at the "big names" and seeing way too many "CHN" signs around and assume all "CHN" won. ;)

    Well, I don't really worry too much about the CHN top seeds WD pairs. Seems the only tests for them is Ra/Lee from KOR.

    Don't worry about this too much.

    Start as early as today, the "inter house conflict" will start, and many elites (not only in chinese team) have to fight between brothers and sisters. Even though, I don't like to see such talented players have to pack, but this will surely make the final to be more excited to watch.
