Most of them have a distinct lack of the T.

I think its also that the sport sets it up to be entertaining. Seeing them slam winners is fun.

So two Chinese teams made it to medal play?

How the hell? I figured ti would be a weak sport for them.

They said that Branagh/Youngs would have to face both Chinese teams to get to the finals if everything played out as expected.

One of their teams is on USA. They are short.

im not shocked. they may be able to torture their athletes into being machines, but im pretty sure they havent found a way to stretch them out yet.

but the slanted eyes do give them a little advantage. it keeps the sand out

They typically excel at skill based sports, but getting two teams through pool play is impressive. We'll see how well they do. The team I saw was beating someone.
