    Minatsu is still growing

    .
    We need to remember: Minatsu is still growing (taller), Ai has already grown as tall as she could. :)

    Yes, I'm surprised that he played. He's the only Japanese there. No one turned up for the Grand Prix Gold in June either. Ajay is quite a good player.

    maybe is his school winter holiday, so he has time to participate in the IGP. :D Yes, Ajay is good, but I expect Takuma to play rubber games. :( Maybe he is too tired from last week's competition.

    I salute to Goto Ai, she is short but can run all around the court.

    One thing good about our Badminton: We don't have to be tall to play well

    .

    This is one thing good about our Badminton; We don't have to be tall to play well in our sport.

    Saw quite a number of japanese youngsters , girls especially carrying those yonex bags with rackets inside going here and there at the subway line. They do love to play badminton though.

    No wonder their thomas cup team can beat mas team also..;)

    Maybe CHN is experiencing the INA phenomena: the tall girls prefer to become catwalk models rather than becoming a badminton player... Why practice 6+ hours per day with the risk of injuries etc. while with a low education, you can get paid just walking and standing around looking pretty... :p

    I hope badminton craze will infect the world's 3rd largest economy again (like in the 1970s)
