Olympic Badminton Rocks!

I caught Olympic Badminton for the first time today as I was waiting for tech support to pick up the phone. Korea vs Indonesia men's match. It was incredible to watch. Kind of like a mix of table tennis and hard court tennis, mostly in slow motion, with little fits of blazing speed. Very cool. I have heard people knock this as not being a "real" sport, but I think that is crap. These guys were working pretty hard, and there was quite a bit of strategy present.

Of course, this was being broadcast on CNBC, as NBC only seems to be broadcasting the mass appeal activities.

Now...to find the rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming!
