Lydia Cheah is 1.74 or 1.76 metres, depending on which source you ask. Ng Hui Lin, Woon Khe Wei are rather tall too, taller than WPT/CEH, above 1.65.
It appeared that I was saying that taller girls are less suitable for Badminton . Sorry that it appeared that I was saying that taller girls are less suitable for Badminton. It shouldn't be the case. When I met the Malaysian girls (WMC, WPT, CEH, Julia Wong, etc...), when they were here in Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, I was just surprised to find how small they are, compared to players from other nations. I better stop here. BCers will start arguing that to excel in Badminton, we don't need to be tall. .
Small is ...beautiful ! They are usually faster and have other skills to overcome their opponents. Let's see the match CHOI H.J. vs LIN Dan at the East Asian Games 2009... Why do people say that badminton is for tall players ?
I think its for all sizes, as short as JJS, MK........to as tall as Jen Ericssen and BCL.........they all are very successful....
