No wonder... Used to see her in the Varsity Team of University of Toronto, but not anymore. She is playing international and a full time player now... Wow~~~ Good for her!
You go to the Olympics to play the best in the world.... you might as well do it right off the bat! The draw has given Ms. Li a straight-forward proposition: Do or die. And her life is much simplified, thereby (to paraphrase Churchill). No wasted energy and worry about 2nd round 'what-ifs' and 'maybes'. She can focus everything on this one task. So, stay loose, and do yourself proud, Michelle! We Canucks are already proud of you, no matter what.
Congratulations to Michelle for winning the Maldives International Challenge 2013! She was seeded #5 in this tournament but came through in style.
Aug. 23, 2013, 4:33pm. there's a rumour on badminton central saying you're retiring from badminton?? Aug. 23, 2013, 4:33pm. Um first ive heard of it
Derrick Ng asks a question at 4:33pm and gets an answer from the horse's mouth in the same minute! CNN could use a reporter with such mad research skills. (...of course the two national team members could simply have been texting from adjacent practice courts...)
do kids these day text one another rather than talk even though they are sitting right next to one another?
she just made her first big win over a top badminton player. she beat tai tzu ying in first round of all england but no surprise becus tai tzu ying has been losing first round in past like 10 tournaments lol
From the stats on TS, it would appear that ML was down 8-13 in G1 and 17-20 in G2 before coming back and winning each game 22-20. That bodes well for her confidence going into tomorrow to face Bellaetrix Manuputty. A good challenge for our Canadian hope. And an attractive game for the spectators.
Wow... She made it to QF after easily beating Bella in the decider after 1 hr and 18 mins! Go Michelle!
