You know you’re in a B-list Olympics event if… loud, unexplained noises occur in the middle of your event. And no-one apologizes. And frankly, no-one in the stands seems to be watching. (Who are the Beijing Olympic badminton spectators, anyway??)
Also— This NBC website graf on shuttlecock romance is amazing:
“China’s Lin Dan and Xie Xinfang — No. 1 in the world and with each other (they are boyfriend-girlfriend) — will be the centers of attention in the Olympics badminton tournament.”
Can I write copy for NBC.com? When I was 12??
