    It's widely known that Lee Yong Dae has a crush on Yoona:

    http://forums.soompi.com/discussion...ng-dae-is-there-a-way-i-can-get-yoonas-number


    I guess Yoona knows about it by now and I wouldn't be surprised if the video above is related to this. If Lee Yong Dae comes back with the Men's Double Gold, maybe he will get a real date with Yoona, lol.

    It doesn't look anything like the NR800 :p ... what is the source of the Gade pic anyway? Never mind, already discovered [again] ...
    For what it's worth: in the preparation he was still using VT80; as has also been mentioned it could just be a training racket ...

    The racket that Gade is using isn't the one I was talking but the one Thomas Laybourn and Rytter Ruhl

    :cool:; just read some countries' flag patch was even too big and not allowed [​IMG]. Not sure if in the end still enforced as I just noticed CSC with a huge patch but probably counts as NOC patch if rules are different for those ...
    Also finally had a good look of the so called Citroen & Red Bull hidden logo's and I see what was meant, good spot [​IMG]. But also present on Jan Jorgensen's shirt ... to cover up :p?

    Nice pictures of the hustle and bustle, Chris. :)
    Did you have a 4oz or the 8oz Real Angus burger. Lovely to have lots of food choices. :rolleyes:

    - Yup, that's what i noticed first when he came out of the player's pre-introduction playing area; then sort of noticed him doing the "catholic gesture"?...anyway, it could be just for show on his part to put that cross symbol on his left upper arm..

    Plenty of food choices, but i didn't notice the food prices inside the venue.
    Didn't try any of them, yet, almost though..
