Bridesmaid No More!

Congratulations to the Korean Uber Cup players for their historic 3-1 win over defending champion, China. Those gritty ladies deserved that win, hands down! That was one long wait worth waitng for!

The Koreans would remember that victory for a long, long time to come and that "nightmare" would forever haunt the Chinese. In sports, one cannot win all the time.

Indubitably, it was their indomitable courage, will and spirit that brought the Great Wall crumbling down! It was a sheer delight to watch them play against the "invincible" ladies of China. Long rallies, lops, beautifully executed drop shots and the sharp smashes. Were the Chinese women gradually losing their grip?

It was better to lose one's grip on the game rather than losing one's head! It was very unsporting by one of our sports commentator (TV 1) who was intolerably rude when he took a swipe at the Chinese team with his pointed remarks after they lost. In common decency, a good commentator does not do that!

Doing a running commentary in any event, one does not take side! Please run your commentary in a professional way and learn to control your emotion! Can you do that for the men's final today? It's the Chinese against the Indonesians! Good luck to both teams and we hope to see top flight action!
