 It looks like a job on the easy side - doing the shuttle control but it's actually important to keep the feathers straight...! |
 Watching the serve - or resting her head? Either way, Donja Pieters is in action during the match between Eric Pang, NED, and Bobby Milroy, CAN |

 Pang (left in pic), on the other hand, was not too pleased... |
