19th Asian Games 2022 - Team Events

Yeah Majunath had terrific sportsmanship even though he was losing badly, really outstanding.

 

Anyone got stream for awards ceremony ?

 

Cheung seems like it, when was this pic taken ?

 

Worst is she said that the Chinese women's team won gold which is not the case

 

LOL.. not obvious enough?
too distracted by her

 

To tell the truth, I was taken aback by her beauty every time she was in the screen. And the most weird thing is I am not able to remember her face, truly an apsara.

 

From what I know she is a translator for team CHN

 

I feel like all countries should have this thread (except for Korea)

 

In the end, thanks largely to both Li Shifeng, the saviour, and Weng Honyang, the hero, who enabled Team CHN to successfully defend the gold medal status for the Men's Team.

Indeed, Li Shifeng and, especially, Weng Hongyang rose to the occasion and played a pivotal role in Men's Team CHN's dramatic victory after the initial scare when both their MS1 SYQ and their MD1 WC/LWK were defeated consecutively , landing Team CHN in a precarious position of a must-win third matchup.

To my surprise at first SYQ actually was on top of his game against LS, in a way showing glimpses of hs former brilliance, and was even leading by 5-points in G3 for some time before he started to go downhill to lose the match , much to his two courtside coaches' chagrin, I believe. Needless to say , SYQ's performance in the team event so far was disconcerting, to say the least. Seriously, it doesn't bode well for SYQ's Paris OG'24 quest.

 

CHN was very fortunate that Prannoy was not able to play yesterday otherwise it would be silver for them.

 

Yeah, huge stroke of luck that.

 

india almost win

 

Malaysia very unfortunate that LCW was too old and retired otherwise could've easily won too

 

Why prannoy not fielded but Mithun who has little experience

 

he is injured

 

The lack of streaming here is bugging the bejesus out of me, no games on YouTube at all,
live coverage is just a live score stream from someone in Asia commentating within a wee box on screen

 

100% agree (though I know you meant it facetiously). I believe LCW on his day, even at age 35, still has what it takes to beat ANY of the top MS today, I'm not kidding. Yes, he actually did it in 2018, on record, beating none other than Kento Momota who won the WC that same year, in the MAS Open !

 

The level difference of LCW at that time compared to the majority of mens singles players nowadays is like night and day in terms of difference.
Level and standards having dropped remarkably in this digital age of nonstop social media/and other external noise.

 

wrong topic

 

Your life must be great for you to be so emotionally invested in a badminton tournament that you are taking no part in at all, my guy.
