(Beijing, April 23) - Comments from Jung Duk Hwa (KOR), Choi Youn Ah(KOR), Janette Mary Stirling (AUS) and Emma Randall (AUS) after Australia beat Korea 78-71.

Jung Duk Hwa (KOR) - Coach

On losing the game:
"We didn't do well in rebounds,perhaps partly because we didn't get enough training on that. We were not strong enough physically and not well-focused, especially during the second half. No 9 (Jung Sun Min) usually plays both very good forwrd and center. But she didn't do very well today in the second half."

On getting near the goal of the top-eight in the Olympics:
"I didn't let the veteran players rest too much today, because the younger players were not doing very well. Yes, we need train more rookies. But I'm afraid I don't have enough time. We are not advantageous physicaily and also in terms of the height of our players. We are not bad offensively, but we do need to improve a lot in our defence."

Choi Youn Ah (KOR) - Guard

On losing the game:
"We've been studying the styles of Cuba and Australla. I think we lost largely because our rebound not were not so good and we were getting less strong physically and not well focused as the game went into the second half."

Janette Mary Stirling (AUS) - Coach

On playing not consistently in the last four games:
"Playing international games challenge players both physically and mentally. I intended to have great exposure for all the players. That's why I split the minutes and let each player play a while. Yes, we wanted to win each game, but the bigger picture is is what we are going to do in August. Winning our first game against the USA is partly due to the truth that you can expect anything playing them so we were very relaxed mentally."

On which Asian team is the most difficult to play:
"Both China and Korea are strong team s in Asia I think China has more presence physically inside. They are very efficient and execute very well. The two teams play very differently in style. Korea is very strong in their ability to move the ball. They are both very hard teams to play.'

Emma Randall (AUS) - Forward

On secret of winning the game:
"Robounds. That's the key reason. We were very dominant in the paint."
