Is Hendra really taller than XZB or is the second place platform just shorter? Nice to see my two favorite teams on the podiums for a change. Oh and check out XZB's face in the last picture lol
Hendra is 181 cm tall.. Zhong Bo is 190 cm tall. Btw, thanks for all the lovely pics. Happy for all champions.
Before the match, XZB was kidding around with Kido/Setiawan and made fun about service faults by Kido..it was so funny..later XZB and Kido praticed single together...it was fun to see them play......
Wow that's cool, for some reason I was sure they would hate each other's guts. it's always interesting to hear stories between the players, stuff that happens off-court...got anymore to share there mr. huang?
too many....but off the record........XZB is very friendly....toward any players....dont trust much on media....
he know that he is "the true winner" of the day winning in losing ... no ashame of that beside ... bao play quite well too so beside the bad linecalls, he satisfied with his game
Mayb bao feels bad.. He is happy when he win it, but deep into his heart, he might not...LCW plays well 2.. If it's a fair game, LCW wil win it.
We've had quite a few of such short stocky guys, since the late 50s. 1. Eddy Choong (probably the shortest) 2. Ng Boon Bee 3. Ade Candra (probably the tallest, still much shorter than INA Chief Coach Christian Hadinata) 4. Jon-Holst Christensen 5. Yap Kim Hock 6. Kido I suppose nature tried to be fair to them, by trading lack of height with super strong leaping smashes ........ . Would have put Rexy in the list, but he's quite a bit taller and a lot thinner during his playing days.
The route to final favored BCL as well compared to LCW. The next head to head meeting between this 2 titans are very crucial because everyone will start to conclude after that. Anyway is this the same umpire that judge the MS final yesterday? Look at the face of the Korean . He was like WTF !?!?
Li Yongbo on China's chances at the Beijing Olympics: "Our big target is the upcoming Olympic Games. We now have 192 trainees in our badminton camp. That's 30 players, 12 umpires and 150 line-judges."
Sorry, did he mean the 12 umpires + 150 linejudges are(will be) the officials for the OG08? Pls tell me I'm wrong... pls pls pls Feel like whack his face... WTF...
i actually have that whole press conference recorded in my camcorder. the audio is bound to be pretty poor though, if anyone know how to clean up video, please let me know i will send the video to you and you can post it in youtube or something.
