Lin is playing his "I have never lost to this guy before and this is a best-of-seven game".  He had better switch to his "this guy needs to be massively contained and this is a knockout-tournament" game.

The game intervals felt longer than the match duration.


Robert: "And on that point, I don't want my players to come and play here, because they're not yet good enough, they're going to be beaten badly, and then when I go and tell my government for more money to train my players, they're going to say no, you're not yet good enough, so that's a very big problem, if you cannot win down in your zones, your continents, why do you want to go up?"

Xi Jinping: Attending the APEC Thailand 2022 in Bangkok right now.
CXT: 3-4 Batra. This is for China-India relations. (India NOT a member of APEC)
LGY: If I will lose to Harimoto in the end and take the blame, why not Alamiyan now so people will say this is for China-Iran relations? (Iran NOT a member of APEC)

I remember folks in China suspected WLQ lost to Alamiyan at Asian Cup 2012 as a political gesture.

Lol LGY again with the crazy losses 

Lim is a very very dangerous player.

Unbelievable - Lin Yun Ju, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Chen Xingtong all lost?! What is happening lol...

After allocating 35 mins per match, we get mixed-gender bracket. LOL

Harimoto: Who says I can't counterloop?




















Looking at the flags, I thought for a moment this was table tennis and not badminton, right?
