Ranki smash used to be Goldberg or Rhyno spear. Now it’s like Edge spear. I hope he smashes like before
His malay accent is kinda gone though, I remember he used to have malay accent when he first came back to indonesia lol
If you ask players if they want 1 OG and 1 OG silver or 1 WC and 2 AG gold. I think most will go for OG medals. AG is only a regional event. Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup are BWF grade 1 team tournament, if FHF did not perform well, China may not be able to win it even if they have LD in the team. These achievements are all indicated in his wikipedia. Can't simply say it is not important when it is uncomparable.
China still had strong backup in team events. FHF was very instrumental no doubt. But when talking about GOAT (individual status), I think it’s best to compare it on individual events and not team ones. For me, FHF is the GOAT. Agree about your OG vs WC And AG point. I feel, Asian Games is a very important filler event. If someone asked me which is more important, AE or Asian Games. I may not able to answer it. I would want to answer AE but then Asian Games comes once every 4 years.
Both of them have OG gold though, but let's just agree to disagree. ofcourse he played an important role, but do you think he would have even half of those team achievement if he played for INA ? look at indonesian MS back then, taufik who can't even win big tournament anymore, simon santoso, hayom rumbaka, tommy sugiarto, etc...like those aren't even comparable to the likes of LD, CL, BCL, CJ, etc.
In terms of importance imo : 1. OG 2. WC 3. AG 4. AE If I'm not wrong as a korean you could be free from your army duty if you won AG gold medal.
“Have fun, put a smile on your lips” what a nice touch by Boe. Trying to cool off his players. Very much needed as pressure easily sways off our players. Good coaching or shall I say parenting ?
I did some quick napkin math. He's taking about 4 seconds per serve with his pivoting. If the match is 60 - 75 minutes that's a good ~3% of the match spent watching Shetty fiddle around. Thrilling really
