Yeah! Badminton must still alive in Olympic, and of course INA(the ONLY country which have GOLD medal tradition from 1st edition since 1st held in Barcelona) will keep winning at least 1 gold medal from edition to edition hahaha
Two years ago, 2009, I think there was a new comer, Malaysia, and Denmark was out from Semifinal. CMIIW
Funny, weren't table tennis and badminton the two events that sold out the fastest at the last summer games? Perhaps the only thing such a discussion on the part of the IOC shows is that there needs to be a more porportionate represantation of Asian nations in the IOC.
you are right, I guess because it was held in Asia...some had claimed that Badminton is not popular in term of rating(TV) ..anyway...I know last month ( May), Dr.Kang had invited many countries for discussion and make sure that Badminton(in Swiss) is included in Olympic...Squash, Golf are keen to be in Olympic...
what is the line up for tonite's FINAL? I hope XD will start first... and DEN steals the XD point... that will make the tie more interesting...
Okay, back to topic! I think DEN can steal points from WS, XD, and MD. CHN WS are not as great as usual in this tournament, even Saina can beat Wang Xin and Schenk can beat Shixian. Go go Denmark!
thanks... if DEN steals XD, and IF (big IF) they steal the MD... then WS will be the decider... I am just dreaming lah... hehe
Peter Gade stands no chance against super Lin Dan... Tine will face the great wall of WSX or WX or WYH... very tough for Tine...
Should be ok. FischerPedersen proved they can change course after G1 loss. The only thing CHN XD has would be the freshness advantage if they don t field XuMa. XD should be a starting match of high suspense.
