please look at it in a player's point of view, if you ask LD, i think he'll galdly exchange his AE titles for Olympic gold medal back in 2004... besides, many players are considering to quit after OG... isn't this a proof enough? i mean, players don't give WC and others tournaments as much importance as they give the OG.. quoted misbun and rexy for saying a million times: OUR TARGET IS TO QUALIFY AND WIN THE GOLD IN BEIJING...
OG is the most prestigious tourney only, not THE MOST DIFFICULT TOURNEY TO WIN. every tourney (SS, WC & OG) is equal (in term of the level of competition). win an OG doesn't make you the best in the world. in chess, Gary Kasparov can win against a SUPER COMPUTER. he can claim that he is the best in the world, coz he can beat the MOST DIFFICULT OPPONENT! in badminton, the contestants in OG was also the contestants in GP or SS tourneys, so the level of competition in SS and OG is the same. no different at all!
u misunderstood my comment. what I want to say is "an OG winner isn't BETTER than the others". the same logic can apply too in WC & AE winner. the one who can win the most tourneys can claim that HE IS THE BEST!
coz not many dangerous players at that time. compare it to ZJH & YY era. at ZJH & YY era, every players from every countries had already participated. and at that time, all of us know the term "4 heavenly kings". can u said that the level of competition in YY's era is the same with Rudy and LSK era?
ask PG, KJ, CH and any other players, which one is prestigious: AE or AG? ask the Indonesians, which one is prestigious : AE or AG? don't give a wrong answer, coz one of the Indonesians won it for 8 times. who collected more prestigious titles? can't u count it?
What????????O;ympics is better....why you choose AE or AG???? LD has not won Olympic...this is BIG one..answer me??? ask all Chinese..which is better Olympics or AE??? Ask PG/KJ about that it..dont get me wrong answer!!!
Well..tell LYB and Chinese association..even LD is aiming to Olympics which is more important than anythings....you are so arrogant!!!!! Ask LD which one is better..OG or AE???
WC is more important. no restriction on the number of players for each country. AE is more competitive than OG too.
To marry someone when you do not know the person or dated the person tells me either you are infatuated with Reiko, your hormones are dancing at the highest order....hehehe!! LOL!!
i still remembered LD said BCL is the best player he has ever seen several months ago. after LD won the WC and AE, he is so confident to appraise other players.
LD is humbler now..I just cant believe that some BCers did not believe that LD would praise BCL or TH...or actually LD said that..nothing wrong with that...Even Tiger Or Federer praises his opponents..
