I don't think Chinese on the way to downhill.. they got one champion in XD & keeps their tradition power in WD.. With at least one representative in WS... Nothing to be shamed for with this kinda results... At least better than MAS & KOREAN ....
it's just a temporary setback for China. perhaps the results from the WC 07 and Japan Open 07 will send them clear signals to analyze and evaluate their present programs. it's a matter of "smoothing rough edges" as the saying goes. if you will check further, (still) China has a "deeper" bench compared to other teams. i'm sure they'll get their old form back.
Really? I didn't know that 'a temporary setback' meant 'a pounding, thrashing, pasting and annihilation rolled into one'
harharhar yes you are correct since i too get bored when china gets most, if not all, of the gold medals home. i'm happy to see the old warriors like taufik, wijaya and gunawan, chandra and hadiyanto gave very good performance
CHN has won/dominated umteenth times, one 'minor' setback and CHN cannot dominate??....LCW played very well and so deserving to be champion and I cannot be more happy for him....but to expect LCW to win over CJ, LD and TH next time and next time again is a big expectation and if LCW does not suceed next time, fans are going to bash him, as usual....likewise LD is not going to lose often either...CHN domination over? Not even close...take a look at their lineup and upcoming players...even if LCW and TH continue to play so fantastically next time, after they are done in next year or the year after, who is there left to challenge the CHN upcoming players? CJ may seem to have problem with his game lately, but he is so young and after the stars are retired, he is still going to be around...So enjoy this win for both LCW and TH, but plz do not be so arrogant to thrash CHN cos' they will be back...for sure!
denmark's XD pair, Laybourn/Rytter Juhl is no pushover seriously, i dont think XZB and GZD will be a star in the coming years. they're far off their seniors CY/FHF, malaysia's, indonesia's, korea's and england's MD pairs. china is really lacking MD specialist. i wonder why, since they have such a huge population and for XD, yes, ZYW is good, but XZB (it should be XZB ) isn't very consistant. a poison you mean this is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad analysis. its like saying ronald susilo beat lin dan (world ranking #1) in OG2004, lin dan beat lee chong wei (malaysia open 2007 MS champ) at china open 2007, lee chong wei beat taufik hidayat (OG2004 MS, WC2005 MS champ, Asian Games champ) at china open this year, ...[i cant continue because i cant think of taufik beating any title holders recently except chen hong, singapore open 2003 which was long time ago ] and no, that does not make ronald susilo world ranking #1 + MO champ + OG champ + WC champ + Asian Games champ = ultimate champ... you're just biased
I like the way you analyze it N china still has JYJ,Yihan,wang lin and other young guns is Ws In MX they have He HB/Yu Y,both are still young
Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen are getting stagnant in the past year, with no title to show for since the China Open in Oct 2006. He Hanbin/Yu Yang are improving with their collections of titles this year and they are the ones whom we should keep an eye on As for MD, Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo have been around for the past 2-3 years and they still find it hard to break the top 10. However, Shen Ye/He Hanbin probably is the pair that probably will rise. They just need experience and time. In WD, Pan Pan/Tian Qing is probably the one that we should look out for. There are a bunch of junior pairs like Li Tian/Ma Jin (XD), Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli (WD) that haven proven themselves in the junior competitions. We shall see them in the next 2-3 years.
there's one thing u guys have to understand...it's the never-ending enormous talent pool which makes China so scary. Other countries still have a lot to catch up on that
Nowhere close to the end of domination yet, winning 2 Gold is still a great achievement for the Chinese team that many countries can only dream of. Good job to LCW and Tine though.
that's quite true. the events of today (Japan SS 07) showcased the "old warriors" of Indonesia. sooner or later, they will have to go. "new and younger pool of talent" should be infused so that the winning heritage of any team will go on.
As long as every event becomes more competitive, I am all for it! China will still be dominating but just to a lesser degree. Who can challenge the WD from China?
When I saw BCL giving tips to LD, and LD giving tips to XXF, It seems that China is not giving their 100%, would they do that in the olympic ?. Anyway, a win is a win, congratulations to the winners.
heh Xball, its ok they can laugh (people like you) but its only going to be tears on your face when your whole national team gets wiped off the face of the planet in next year's olympics \ And with LCW's fluky win he will now be analyzed to death then he will fall into a bottomless pit of defeat.
