Badminton's a sport I haven't followed, but I just learned that it's one of the sports that the US has never medalled in.  (Surprising, perhaps?)  Looks like our entries have some tough draws today and have either already lost or are the underdogs in an upcoming match.

The  has won one world championship title, the men's doubles back in 2005. Won by Howard Bach and Tony Gunawan (who was an Olympic champion for in 2000). Bach and Gunawan were only able to compete in the Olympics as a pair once, in 2012, after Gunawan became a naturalized American citizen.

The Stoevi sisters with another superb performance.  A second 1/4 at a World Championships in their career. Too bad their success has largely been in the background of Bulgarian sport through the years.

Lai from  was down big in the second game against Shi from ...had two match points and was just a couple of centimeters away from winning.  But Shi came back...decider time.
