    I hope ZYW changes her mind, and just come back like ZN. She's my favorite MXD player, due to her fighting spirit. ;)

    sure Zhang Ning will retire due to her age (and achieved 2nd Gold Medal in history)...
    of course WCH and CTF/LWW will retire as well...

    This might have been XXF's last match, she already said she'll go back to Guangdong now and see if she keep on playing or not.

    This year will certainly be the last for Peter Gade, he already said he wants the younger to take his place. Maybe after CPH.
    I think Wang Chen will retire if not now, during the year i guess

    I wouldn't call myself a XXF fan, but I hope she won't retire yet. She is too good and such a big part of the game that I hope she will continue playing.

    Nothing more for ZN to prove...except if she wants AE title...I met ZN at WC05, not an air of arrogance and graciously took pictures with anyone, I remember it took me a long time to setup my camera and she would wait and that was being a defending WC...I am so glad she won. As for LYB picking her instead of ZL, if ZN is out, CHN would have 3 first timers playing WS in OLY held in her CHN's backyard, no experience and that would be a scary thought for LYB.

    Wong Choong Han will not retire!
    He will play in the German "Bundesliga" for EBT Berlin.
    He will play both MS and MD.

    So whoever wants to watch him playing should come to Germany.
    He will be active the whole season from Sep. 2008 onwards.

    EBT Berlin, its owner is a pssionate badminton millonaire. He wanted XXZ for years, but didn't succeed.
    This year, he managed to lure WCH.

    And it's officially announced, and WCH is a registered player for the German Bundesliga now.
