I hope Saralee will recover fully in duly time... the health and life itself are more important than those Oly medals!
This is kinda late where world championship tickets are concerned .... I remember buying London 2011 tickets in Paris when the 2010 event was still running ....
Yahoo reported that Akane withdraws from the WC because she has decided to participate in the Inter High School Competition instead of the WC. The Inter High will be held in August and it will be her last Inter High. Source: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20150525-00000063-spnannex-spo
The last time Jakarta hosted World Championships was 1989 in conjunction with Sudirman Cup inaugural edition.
Great for Akane's intermezzo while her eligibility lasts, she poses a clear cut chance to bag the title there, while this year WC is crowded with the giants.
End of Phase II had passed and no one in MS and WS are withdrawing!! does this mean that Tian HW and Sun Yu are not going to WC? http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/badmin/2015-06-01/doc-iavxeafs8438980.shtml
Sadly speaking, both Sun Yu and Tian HW are not going but happily, Ma Jin/Tang Yuanting will be taking Ou Dongni/Yu Xiaohan's place as the 4th CHN WD pair after WXL/YY, Luo Ying/Luo Yu, and Zhao YL/Tian Qing to contend for the WC.
4 WD pairs... wow... might as well let them play semi and final. It is decided. I thought ZYL stops playing WD.
Who's BCers going for the worlds? Let's gather Indo BC'ers!! We can cheer together #eaa4Indonesia #IndonesiaPlokPlokPlokPlokPlok
I understand LCW was chosen instead CWF for World championship at Jarkarta this year by BAM. I think this is a very wise decision. both Chen Long and lin Dan has difficulties to win a title in Indonesia while LCW won three indonesia opens previously. I think this is LCW's very best chance to win World championship.
The ticket will be available on end of June according to BWF page. It's definitely I will not miss this big event
dun forget Momota & Axelsen are on the rise, and this make LCW likely difficult to win WC this year...!!
LCW's Best Ever Opportunity to Win the WC Title in Indonesia . Just be relaxed... I predict LCW will eventually bag his very first WC title after waiting for so long... the venue in Jakarta is much friendly to him so quite conducive for his chase but on the other hand poses a serious jinx to his main contenders from CHN. Both Axelsen and Momota are not quite consistent, up and down, and are still quite beatable by any within the Top-20. As usual the serious threat for LCW comes from CHN but their MS just do not perform there over long period for some inextricable reasons (see my post about the past MS winners in INA Open). So, this venue can be the best ever opportunity for LCW to take it...unless MAS is gonna host the WC in the near future.
