For that matter, Taufik was not in the best of condition when he went to Athens 2004. But he still won the Gold. So, your theory will not work for Lee Chong Wei.
i hope LCW will fet the medal! Go! If Taufik is not going, it will be a good news for those player who is at top half of the draw!
I was just pointing out that LD did stumble before the Athens games. Nothing to do with Taufik nor LCW.
Part of the answer can be found from a poll. Kwun, just for fun, this is a good time to poll 'Will LD lose to PSH? Yes or No?'(Unfortunately, no one track vote tally before the draw.)
The fact that LCW has such a high vote count illustrates the number of Malaysians on BC. Yes, he is one of the favourites but surely LD must be THE favourite. I think this poll shows many WANT LCW to win, not if he WILL win
