Imported ... its ok ... practically every major team from the europe, usa, nz has at least one asian face ... but Li jw was headhunted to singapore when she was in equiv secondary school and really grew up/ receive her major training here. But of course, cannot discount formative years in china. Still, a good match. Well done spore; Hope we get a medal out of this!
Great news. This is refreshing after the disappointing performance by most of our other athletes especially the swimmers.
Got to commend Zhang Xueling too who fought hard at the quarterfinals. Our table tennis players show more mental strength and fighting spirit.
Yea great news. If she wins another game or 2, it'll be 0.5mil to 1 mil of taxpayer's money down the pipe for a stupid medal. Could have gone to some desperate old folks needing the next major surgery or another homeless kid needing another home or an education.
Please win, please.
Noticed that the newspapers and media is downplaying her getting into the semis. Maybe they're afraid of stressing her out and causing her to underperform.... :think:
Anyway, good luck for all the sportsmen/women still in the running!
I haven't seen the other semifinalists play but Kim Hyang Mi of Korea will really put up a good fight for her if they do meet. Kim is incredible. Plays like the fake match in Forrest Gump! :bsmilie:
