We surely hope that INA will win the BD title, just like the AJC. Rendy/Angga and Ulin/Berry are definitely INA's top BD pairs at the moment. Not to mention Rendy/Angga are the reigning AJC champion! Ulin/Berry also won the Dutch and German Juniors; New Zealand Int Series, and Laos Int Challenge.
WJC official website: http://www.wjc09.com/ China will send the same squad as in AJC. But some singles players will be substituted. The list is to be confirmed.
INA has historically always been good at MD... We got 3 Olympic gold medals, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze to prove it... [actually INA never went home without at least 1 medal in MD since the 1992 Olympics]... Nobody will be surprised if these 2 INA pairs do well... INA's weak link is WD, no medals whatsoever throughout the Olympics history... I guess MAS has the same fate too [so far]... And also, I don't think INA ever won a title in GD in the World Junior Championships...
INA has a bad record n the WJC...having won only 2 individual titles since the first WJC was played in 1992. And those 2 titles (GS and BD) were won in 1992.
Yes... I would say in the past 20 years, INA and KOR performed best in the biggest prizes of MD, followed by MAS, DEN, and CHN... MAS did waayyy better than INA in World Junior Championships... but waayyy worse in the Olympics...
Yes, INA won 2 MS Olympic Golds same as China did, 3 MD Olympic Golds 1 better than KOR, 1 WS Olympic Gold ranked 2nd to China......(pls correct me, if wrong) Overall its a great success for INA in their Olympic campaign
Official Website for World Junior Chamionship 2009, the draw is today and is coming out soon later today..........enjoy! http://www.wjc09.com/
The Drawing - Team Event Taken from BWF website & the Star Online -- http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2009/10/1/sports/4817411&sec=sports Group W -- China, Indonesia, Russia, New Zealand, Macau Group X : X1 -- Thailand, Germany, Vietnam X2 -- Hongkong, Denmark, Srilanka Group Y : Y1 -- India, Canada, Philippines Y2 -- Chinese Taipei, England, Australia Group Z -- Malaysia, Japan, France, Singapore, Cambodia Semifinal : Winner of Group W vs Winner of Group X ; Winner of group Y vs Winner of group Z South Korea as 2008 runner-up for Mixed Team event (Suhandinata Cup) will not take part in team competition in this edition.
Bad draw for INA... What?!? This draw is not good for INA... CHN will most probably beat INA 4-1 [loosing only the BD] and that's it... I wish the runner up of the group can compete in the quarterfinals or something. But oh well...
Looking at the draw.....China is more likely to advance to SF and Thailand is having greater chance to meet China in SF............ It will be a hard match for China as Thai juniors are very good........an up set is expecting here....
As for MAS, if they managed to past Jap...........they will be most likely facing India in SF........Hope Mas Boleh here......
Not need to bother about those kind of people la Limsy... just go do what you love most and share with us here, Ok! ^^... btw the way, will you be going? hmm... I'm thinking of taking a break to go back to Alor Setar to visit my grandmother but still haven't decided on the date plus dunno if Oct. got quarter crunch or not... hope get to watch the team event, at least...
As I predicted earlier, INA is not even among the top 4 seeds despite KOR's absence. I will suggest the INA manager to take the Group Matches as practice for the more important Individual Events (esp GS and BD) later on.
INA will thrash Macau and New Zealand. The match against Russia is interesting but we should win it too. Against CHN, I also expect INA to be beaten 1-4.
Malaysia WJ team will leave for Kedah on the 19th Oct for conditioning. Malaysian Heroes like Iskandar,Tee Jing Yee, Ow Yow Han and LaiPei Jing, Lai/Hui Ern and GJH/pang will probably be fetures in the team events. The rest that make up the team are Zulfadli,Misbun Ramdan,Shawal, LiLian,Flora,Sonia will only be playing in the individual event. Doubles there are some reshuffling-so not sure who will partner who and who will be features in the team event.
