sorry for the confusion. It simply means Jiang Shu team lead by Lu Lan, WSX was leading Zhe Jiang 1:0 lead by Wang Ling. Thank you Shifty for reading. Guang Dong has been a strong powerhouse of badminton in China since the beginning, when badminton introduced by oversees Chinese from Malaysia and Indonesia. All the Chinese from other parts of China learnt badminton from Guang Dong or Fu Jian. From my personal experience, Guang Dong is probably the most popular place for badminton in China, there are lots of high level local badminton clubs too. Here are the standings for each team: Men's team----Wins---Net Matches Won---Famous Players---Status Jiang Shu ---- 4 ---- 10 ----Chen Jin, Cai Yun, XC, TJM *F4 Guang Dong --- 3 ---- 5 ---- Fu Hai Feng Fu Jian -------- 3 ---- 5 --- Chen Hong, Chen Long, Gong WJ, Guo ZD Hu Nan -------- 2 ---- 1 --- Bao CL, Zheng Bo PLA ----------- 2 ---- 0 ---- Lin Dan, He Han Bin Shang Hai ----- 2 ---- 0 ---- Lu QC, Zhang Wei, Wang Wei Hong Kong ----- 2 ---- 0 ---- Hu Yun, Ng Wei Bei Jing -------- 2 ---- (-1) -- Du PY Liao Ning ------ 2 ---- (-1) -- Zhou WL Women's team----Wins---Net Matches Won---Famous Players---Status Jiang Shu ---- 4 ---- 8 ----Lu Lan, Wang SX, Cheng Su *F4 Guang Dong -- 4 ---10----Xie XF, Zhu JJ, Zhang JW, Yang W*F4 Hu Nan ------ 4 ---- 10 ----Tian Qin*F4 Hu Bei --------2----2-------Gao Ling, Wei YL, Zhao YL, Wang XL Zhe Jiang -----2--1-------Wang Ling PLA-----------2---3-----Jiang YJ, Wang Xin, Zhao TT -- Eliminated Shang Hai -----2---1 ---- Wang YiHan, Zhu Ling --- Eliminated Fu Jian --------1--(-6)--------------------------------Eliminated Hong Kong-----1--(-7) -- Zhou Mi, Wang Chen, Yip PT -- Eliminated Shan Dong-----1--(-7) -- Ma Jin -----------------------Eliminated Si Chuan-------1--(-7)---------------------------------Eliminated Liao Ning ------ 0 -- (-8) --- Yu Yang, Du Jin -----------Eliminated *F4 = (Advanced to Final 4)
Who's China's number 4 and number 5 after the 3 all mighty musketeers(Lin Dan, Chen Jin, Bao CL) ? From the world ranking, they are: Chen Long and Gong Wei Jie. From the players China sends to Denmark open, the answers are also: Chen Long and Gong Wei Jie. Unfortunately, both Chen Long and Gong Wei lost today. Chen Long 0:2 Hu Yun (19:21, 19:21) Gong WJ 1:2 Chan Yan Kit Therefore Fu Jian, another powerhouse, lost to Hong Kong 0:3 other interesting matches worth to mention: Lin Dan 2:0 Wu Yunyong 21:15, 21:13 Chen Jin 2:0 Gao Huan Bao CL W.O. Chen Yu 11:5
From the twins pix, who're the other two pairs? Only know He Hanbin & his bro. Thx for the report and pictures, 2cents ^^
:O He Hanbin has a twin brother!!! That's awesome. Imagine if they were both really good doubles players. That'd be a site watching them play in the international circuit. Or against each other with mixed partners The closest we've gotten to that would be the Sidek brothers?
now for the team events, the first stage, group stage is finished. Here are the standings after group round robin: Men's: Group 1: 1. Jiang Su （5:0) Chen Jin, Cai Yun, Xu Chen, Tao JM(China master champ) 2. Liao Ning 3. Shang Hai 4. Hu Nan - Bao CL, Zheng Bo 5. Shan Dong 6. Guang Xi - Chen Yu Group 2: 1. Fu Jian - Chen Hong, Chen Long, Gong WJ, Guo ZD 2. Guang Dong - Wang ZM, Fu HF 3. Hong Kong - Chan, Hu, Ng 4. PLA - Lin, He HB 5. Bei Jing 6. Hu Bei Women's Group 1: 1.Guang Dong - Xie XF, Zhu JJ, Yang W, Zhang JW 2.Hu Nan - no famous player 3.Shang Hai - Wang YH, Zhu Ling 4.Shan Dong - Ma Jin 5.Fu Jian 6.Liao Ning - Yu Yang, Du Jin Group 2: 1.

Hong Kong - Zhou Mi, Wang Chen, Yip PT 6. Si Chuan Only the team in bold advanced to the semifinals. Now comes the 2nd stage, which is the knock-out stage. the draw for Men's team Jiang Su vs Guang Dong Fu Jian vs Liao Ning Women's Jiang Su vs Hu Nan Guang Dong vs Hu Bei My prediction: For men's Jiang Su vs Guang Dong: last national game, Jiang Su grabbed gold medal and Guang Dong got the silver. Both of them are still very strong. This is supposed to be the final but unfortunately Guang Dong lost to Fu Jian in the round robin. Jiang Su is strong in both men's and women's, and also strong in both singles and doubles. Anyhow, Guang Dong has its chance at Wang Zhenming and Fu Hai feng, these two guys are very good. Veteran WU Yuyong and Chen QQ could also steal one victory if lucky enough.
Guang Dong defeated Hu Bei 3-0 advanced to the final. Congratulations! Jiang Su is tied with Hu Nan 1-1
Results updates: Men's: Jiang Su 3:0 Guang Dong Fu Jiang 3:1 Liao Ning Jiang Su and Fu Jiang in the men's final Women's Jiang Su 3:2 Hu Nan Guang Dong 3:0 Hu Bei Jiang Su vs Guang Dong in the women's final Hong Kong women team lost again to Liao Ning, now Hong Kong is the one of two worst team in the knock out stage. Imagine that: with top player in the world ranking, Zhou Mi, WR1 and WR9: Wang Chen and WR14 Yip Pui Yin. Hong Kong is supposed to be the 2nd best in the World! , but in China national games, Hong Kong has to fight with fujian for the 11th place in 12 teams. The 2nd best team in the world = the worst or 2nd worst out of 12 teams in a country
