D'maker,
I have it from a reliable internet source that Seung Mo dumped to Hidayat. They had a saver, and they made a killing betting high on Hidayat. This internet source says he saw them dividing up the cash. I believe they were in the process of sawing the 2 medals in half in order to melt them down and share equally. If it's on the internet it must be true.

LOL...what about drug rumors? I could see where steroid usage would definitely give you a power advantage on those overhand net slams with the birdie into your opponents nest.
 
Watched the final where Hidayat won... he is sooo smooth and moves so gently yet efficiently around the court.

The reporter said that he got a badminton straight into his eye when he was 15 and got one thirdth of a vision left in his eye. Still won a gold medal... unbelievable.

And table tennis... talking about English ! Experts say that the table tennis ball spins up to 100 rotations per second on the hardest spin shots ! :cool:
Hard to surpass that amount of English on a pool table...
 
I don't like to see ping pong and badminton being unfairly downplayed. Those sports may not attract great deal of viewers, but they do require exceptional reflexes, speed, coordination, not to even mention concentration and mental toughness. As a former tennis player I can attest to that.

Well...I guess there's no sense in listing the results of the women's handball event. Sooner or later you're going to end up pissing on someone's parade.
Might have expected that from someone named "Predator". :rolleyes: LOL
(I loves my 314.....)
