As soon as I saw this thread title I thought of Imogen Bankier. She's not your typical 'hot athlete' but there is something about her.
So upset her and Chris Adcock didn't win I think she plays better than him though.
I felt bad for them, but honestly they didn't have much of a chance. Even if they had won that one, they would probably have lost in the next round. They just weren't up to par with the top players. GB needs to improve in badminton, there isn't enough tv coverage to encourage people to participate.
