Is it a must win for PVS since AY lost in 3 sets?? Hmm CM will be desperate to register at least one win, expecting her to will throw everything she has. Her qualification is out of question right?
I suppose so, scary,isn't it. If I were the victim's family, I'll definitely sue LCW. I mean , just a single case,you can say it's isolated, pure coincidence, no cause and effect. But two or more and every time in the Olympic finals when LCW is involved for LCW's die-hard fans? The correlation is so strong, esp when you say there are several other unreported cases who might come out in the open once I start a lawsuit, I believe the judges would be quite sympathetic and take kindly to my sorry plight. A few hundred thousand USD compensation is better than nothing. Of course, I'd commence by asking a few millions and let the judge(s) pare it down as LCW has this naive,innocent,do-gooder kampong-boy look (that can be deceiving), you know. I would argue that it has every thing to do with the way LCW plays, even when he finally scored his first ever Olympic victory over his archrival Lin Dan albeit in the semifinals , the accumulated pressure and pent-up emotion is so gargantuan as to be unbearable and beyond human tolerance ( a dog watching his match won't suffer the same fate) that I have grounds to believe that LCW himself is the factor, no other player has the same impact, nobody even comes close. I am absolutely sure I have at least a prima facie case against LCW, if not outright solid evidence.
It appeared to me LCW's racquet was on the shuttle when it touched the net, if it's only the shuttle,then there's no fault.
Ahem, err... I was just feeling bored while waiting for the Sindhu - Marin match, and wrote that piece purely in jest just to kill time (notice the number of emojis I used). Never expected anyone to take me seriously. Cheers.
The pros and cons of group match format, two losses consecutively and still not completely out of the picture, Marin, that is.
Yeah well, that's not really true... Problem here is, that such a hard followthrough. so close to the net, it's very very difficult, not to also touch the net with the racket, after the shuttle has touched it, UNLESS you sort of "tackle" the shuttle into the net, where at the same time the shuttle is in contact with both the racket and the net, so you're pushing the net with the shuttle. And that is also a fault (you're not hitting the shuttle with one clean stroke, you're leading it or hitting it twice). In this incident, either of the above possible faults are in play, and the window for making a legal shot inbetween these two faults is very very limited. I can understand the call for sure, and I'd go to say that it's probably a 75% chance the call is correct. Either way, it's a difficult call.
I think if Marin beats Sindhu in two straight sets, she advances to the semis, if she wins in three, let them do the calculations, I'm not sure,offhand.
