    Bro We have past that generation given Nozomi is almost at retiring stage and so is Sindhu and So is Marin and also Tai is pretty much the same similar story with Ratchanok.

    These golden girls gave us some of the best matches ever from Olympics to World Championships to WTF.

    Now its the era of AY,ASY,PC,YJM,CYF,HBJ,WZY,ZYM etc

    As mentioned many times Given all the golden girls have the Oly Medals ( PV,CM,TTY,NO Ex RI ) I hope to see her with an Oly Medal too given its her and was also her mothers dream and I saw how much it meant to her when she was in tears after losing to TTY in OLY.

    Though I fear I may not see May with an Oly Medal given the upsurge of Younger girls...but she will be always a part of the golden girls group.

    100% agree on the possible injustice.

    But **English** and **complaining on fairness**, couldn't control a smile whenever I see the usage of those two phrases in same sentence.

    Yes, I cannot watch all the matches and record (remember) all of it.

    Anyway, let's contribute the data.

    Antonsen couldn't get past the great wall of Japan, he overcame Koki Watanabe but stumbled on Tsuneyama and didn't reach Nishimoto

    Japan team now looks like a United Nations barracks:

    Most used Yonex
    Nishimoto: Victor
    Misaki Matsutomo: Wilson
    Okuhara: Mizuno
    Watanabe: Li Ning

    The same to thier coaches.

    Nishimoto, Tsuneyama, and Watanabe Koki will be progressing to the Orleans Masters next week; the former two as independently-financed players, and the latter supported by the NBA.

    Team A players are not financed at the World Tour 300 level. Nevertheless, Nishimoto and Tsuneyama, well aware that this is probably going to be their last shot at securing a place at the Olympics, are desperately trying to raise their ranking points.

    As far as MS is concerned, any of the top five players are in with a chance. Naraoka and Watanabe, however, are still young enough to look beyond Paris.

    Did the Danes secretly request slower shuttles again? Sure seems so

    Regardless of the reason behind it, I feel that the shuttle is slow, Praveen Jordan cannot hit smash winners from the baseline like he usually does.
