    My top 3 are:
    - Mia Audina Tjiptawan - because she is a genius player and a joy to watch. She puts the shuttle in terribly awkward places, using strokes that are hard to execute in the first place and, secondly the foresight to create a gap and put it there.

    Most people might feel that the gold medal was always going to be Zhang Ning's the way Mia left the last point of the 2nd set. Watch the footage objectively and up to 5/5 in the third set I doubt Zhang Ning would have felt sure she had it in the bag. Any unfocused shots were punished by Mia and vice versa. Zhang Ning was in top form and she had to win that match off Mia which is what makes it a legendary match.

    - Ra Kyung Min - because she can execute whatever shot she wants from anywhere on court. It's nice feeling to have all the options. She too can see gaps on court that I can't.

    - Yao Fen. She was my first favourite player because she was on one of the first videos I ever watched and I tried emulating her repetoire. She's an AE winner.

    Others:
    - Love the indonesian singles backhand of Taufik and Fung Permadi.
    - in-form Zhao Jianhua. He is both a champion player and a champion person who always hands the shuttle to the shuttle umpire
    - Gong Zhichao, for her light and efficient court coverage

    Oops, I overlooked the word now. Sorry!

    Hmm, funny there's no particular player that stands out but I quite enjoy watching Taufik play. Can be quite temperamental but his skills are jaw-dropping. This guy has got style.

    i say taufik. Taufik is the most talented singles player out there. My second favorite would be peter gade and his sexy deception. Third would be lee chong wei for his great defence

    Saw Taufik play for the first time this weekend (against Andrew Smith) and was absolutely amazed by his ability, Lin Dan seems a lot more consistant generally though from when I've seen him play.
    My two absolute favourite players have got to be Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms though, I know that quite a lot of people don't really rate them, I kind of always have done......! Probably because I'm English!!
