    i don't understand how you can treat them the same. how can the past results of one person playing a different event be expected to mirror the results of two people playing as a pair?

    would a bookmaker do the same?

    i did, that's why i cut it from my post while you were likely composing your response.
    as i said, i'm thinking past the here and now. it has nothing to do with right now. the majority of discussions are always about what's going on right now or what just happened. it's like being a bookmaker and establishing the odds/betting lines of future outcomes.

    It's really difficult to predict who will win the medals in Olympics. One bad day and your favourite will be out. There are lot of factors that we need to consider but the most important to me is the draw. The top players would need as much mental energy as possible going into the SF/F because of huge pressure. They wouldn't want their minds to be exhausted in the League stage itself. The easier the draw, the better the opportunity. So I will do the prediction once the draw is out. I know it's very soon to ask but anyone knows when will they announce the draw?

    Play hard. Train harder.

    I still don't get it. So you say what you think or predict and see if anyone would bet against or with you?

    in my opinion, we should wait for the draw to predict who will win medal, now is too early for that, just like 9 month before wc 2018 anyone can think that momota or matsunaga can be 2 times wc champion

    Momota Champion is expected but no one cares if Matsunage is 2x WC. Thats the funny thing. Because thats the only titles that they won.

    But yeah, its 9 months to go. Any injury will ruin players chance of a medal instantly. Can you say for sure now CYF/SYQ/HBJ will get a medal in OG..? Look at SYQ being WR2 before getting injured. Look at how consistent CYF is this year and then 1 injury thats it man. Can only blame she didnt finish the job when presented to. while AY being injured, least she won the titles when she had the chances.

    while players like Li/Liu seems like worried they will get injured all the time. If they worried so much, feels like their body cant make it.

    momota yes. matsunaga no.

    i think its only gold matter for top players. Youngster and underdog can be sastify with silver or bronze
    nothing last forever. Marin believed 2017 she would have major to save the season just like 2016 but it wouldnt. Chen L-marin have the same fate, only until 2018. And finally no one consider pv as female lcw anymore

    Actually this will be first olympic for minions and tai multi packs. No curse yet[​IMG]

    If the hall for the OG is medium to fast one, i like Minions chance, they won't treat an every 4 year olympic tournament like a once in a year one, different animal. Not to mention while the tournament will be their first, it might be the last for Markus considering his age. They have shown me enough, especially in the last Asian Games, when they really put their effort and focus in, they can get the job done.

    thinks too early to make prediction right now, but for first glance i would like to say that the draw will be siginificant factors to give a more clear prediction (just like ahsan/hendra Rio's 2016, their stage group is so strong)
    for example, if momota had to play ginting, and chen long/shi yuqi respectively before the finals, would it easy for him to tackle the physical and the huge mental pressure, (like LCW who finally defeat LD but lose to CL in rio).
    also if Minions had to play choi/seo or yuta/endo before the final, we didn't know how they react from such conditions
    MS : still wide open for me,with momota has slight more advantage than other contenders
    XD, the Chinese duo still favourites for me, but for sure the resurgent jordan/melati can troubled them a lot
    WS : the most competitive sector.No clear favourites from this categories.CM,CYF,TTY,AY,NO, RI heck even ASY can win gold
    WD : Reserved for Korean/Japan pair or Chen/Jia
    MD : Minions ,Ahsan/hendra.On paper their challenger would be kamson, endo/yuta,choi/seo,liao/su,li/liu,shetty/satwik

    It's funny you did not even consider P V Sindhu. Lol

    Considering Minion's terrible record in big events, i won't consider them for Gold at all.
    Just small correction

    liao/su from taiwan? i think lee/wang is the better pair and at the moment has more points in less tournaments than liao/su.

    As long as it's not the Minions or Ahsan/Set for MD, I'm good.
    God, I'm so sick of INA/INA finals.

    Yeah, not worried too much. They already win AsianGames. Given the choice, they will have picked AG over WC anyway.

    lee/wang defense is stronger than liao/su for sure, but liao/su playing style is quite match up for minions,especially at the speed and fast flat exchanges situation
