Michael Maze is going to be the Dark Horse in the Olympics........ he has coasted slyly through the leagues as of late plotting his destruction of the Chinese.... Also, I wish Hou Yingchao would play the larger tournaments again..... he still has a lot left in him and I enjoy watching him play.
Just love the way that Smirnov put Orenburg back in the game!
Also I have to say - I have never seen.. or better heared.. Samsonov to shout that loud!
Was obviously pretty important to him!
Usually he is so quiet and calm, sometimes he does make a sound like a bear .. lol ..
but this cho! .. from Vladi is brand new to me!
Dima beats Shibaev 3-0. I think he lost his voice now though :S It really gets worse every time he plays. He even went on a full JOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when Shibaev made a service error :S Only when he scores a good point he shuts up... Hopefully Maze can beat Samsonov, but history doesn't suggest he will
