I'm sorry but the Chinese really don't know how to win friends and influence people.. I say there is something fishy going on with the Chinese athletes too

Tha handball is kind of like soccer, netball and basketball all mixed in to one....they have nets at each end of the court that they score goals in (like soccer goals I mean), they throw the ball to each other, can't run with it, I think they can dribble but only for about 2 steps and the ball is quite little...

I have been watching quite a bit of Badminton, I a little in awe of the players. The game is so fast but the shuttlecock moves slow, and the reach on some of the players is amazing.
