Lin Dan, Bao CL, and Sony were the 3 musketers from 2000 World Junior Championships. If I remember correctly, they were the only 3 medalists in World Junior Champs 2000. Now they are all the best players in the world. Even though their head-to-head are dramatic. Lin vs Bao: 12:4; Lin vs Sony: 5:1; Bao vs Sony: 4:0 but they are all in the top 16 (Lin: 1st, Bao: 3rd, Sony 16th) Since there are World Junior Champs every year, so where are the winners for other years champs? Anyone has this knowledge? or where to find this information?
Lin Dan is 1st ranked, Bao, 3rd, and Sony should be 14th. The 2nd on the top list is Lee Chong Wei, I just read he's one year older than Lin, Bao and Sony (These three supposed at the same age). Has Lee CW got anything from any years junior tournaments? What about Taufic?
Lee Chong Wei was semi-finalist at the 2000 World Junior Champs... http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/intbadfed/junior.html#2000 You can find all the results until 2002 on that page.
Thanks a lot. It's more surprising than I posted first. The current men's single 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 14th ranked best players are all from Junior 2000. This is phonomenum. The other junior events including 2000 other events and all other years, never created so many big names

yeah, you are right. but Ruina was the only one. Another one is Sun Jun 1992 MS champ. All the others disappeared silently
