whoa.... China lost 3 finals!?! Bao lost to Susilo Wei/Zhao lost to Ra/Lee Gong lost to Mia two bankers event lost already. and right at the last Grand Prix event for the qualification period... that's scary. i thought Mia would've ran out of gas at the 2nd game...
darn.. bad line call whn mia ws serving at 7-7, hard smash frm mia whch ws clearly out bt ws called in.. gong protested and ws warned, the score 8-7 to mia.. guess gong nvr recover frm thr and lost the game.. bt credit to mia, she played real well with great attacking.. noticibly, her stamina hs improved, so is her body, lks slimmer nw
Unbelievable!! For the last point, Gong took the initiative with two beautiful cross-drops, but then just set the shuttlecock for mia to win What's wrong??
that's right...one last hope to bring up china's pride is through fu haifeng and cai yun... they are certainly keeping their fingers crossed now..
well, mia was definitely in form...it's really unbelievable...mia was running from left to right to get the shuttle which was definitely controlled by gong but mia's winning point was from the net shot they played. cool...mia's net play was definitely good...wow wow wow...
ths is probably chn's worst performance in recent yrs, losing all 3 finals so far.. bold prediction, 5 disciplines, 5 winners frm different country... hope ths dsnt give too much pressure to cai/fu... its a good thing too, at least Li YB shd re-evaluate and more dwn to earth, as winning a championship isnt a sure thing for chn... i must say i m very disappointed thus far... only hope left, cai/fu... go for the kill.....
gong started crying as she walked off the podium.. i think that she was too over-confident in the second game and made far too many unforced errors, sending too many shots out....and by the time she realized, it was already too late... must be disappointing for Li YB oh well..oh the bright side, a loss in the WS event could be good to china just so that they know that they aren't totally dominating the event..which means that they'll train harder and be better prepared for the olympics...
very interesting!! If cai/fu don't beat Kim/Ha..... I want to see Li YB's face. If CHINA don't even 1 gold, chinese player will be punished by Li YB.
I can't understand what happened to Chinese players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it happen at Athens, it would be catastrophic to China badminton.
