This no doubt will be the main weapon for the doubters out there. Their argument will be like this: "Mentally weak... Then how can get Olympic Gold? They will crack under pressure. And again and again and again..."
I use more than 30 minutes to read tru the whole thread... its is hard....lindam need to win another wc to maintain his 2nd spot...if not... cannot....i hope our player can do well in india...no "LET" ....hehe....... the danes rank higher hehe...if they still stuck in their downhill path...then all the pair they beat should be in the valley....deep deep valley... erm...i think....maybe kampung 'mentaly weak'.... u should praise tbh for the clever return... erm....i think yes...abit....but....the problem is...they play toooooooooooooo defensive in tat match...thats why they lost....this time...they learned the lesson...
thumb up for lcw and koo/tan......iah....hope we can continue the good run in india open....title pls....
Thx Daniel. This july I'm visiting your beautiful country, too bad I can't take my racket in my backpack. I didn't watch the final on screen, but in the AE final I thought LCW lost because he didn't attack just defend. I think he's much quicker than LD and has a good smash but when LD attacks he can accelerate and overwhelm the opponent. So I hope LCW won by attacking LD to support my theory. My son of 9 years is imitating LCW's jumpsmashes hehe....
Congrats to all the winners 1) ZB/MJ for their quick recovery after the crisis they suffered last week. 2) WYH who is now the undisputed queen of CHN (and possibly world) badminton 3) LCW who overcame unbelievable odds and skepticism to upset LD 4) Du/Yu for showing us CHN WD are so dang invincible 5) KKK/TBH who quietly went about their job and turned the tables on the same pair that defeated them last week
Well done! LCW won in the end, LCW is number one He he, lindan is number two only!!! But, what happened if Tafik defeat LCW in QF match?
I think this is the first time MAS able to win two Titles with Chn participating with their Team A........well done MAS..
Well Done to CHN and MAS at the 2009 Swiss Open . Well Done to CHN and MAS at the 2009 Swiss Open Finals Results: Mixed Doubles: Bo ZHENG[CHN] Jin MA[CHN] defeating [KOR] Yong Dae LEE [2] [KOR] Hyo Jung LEE 21-16, 21-15 in 0:37 Womens Singles: [CHN] Yihan WANG defeating Yanjiao JIANG[CHN] 21-17, 17-21, 21-13 in 0:59 Mens Singles: Chong Wei LEE [1][MAS] defeating [CHN] Dan LIN [2] 21-16, 21-16 in 0:52 Womens Doubles: Jing DU [4][CHN] Yang (F) YU defeating [KOR] Hyo Jung LEE [3] [KOR] Kyung Won LEE 21-11, 21-12 in 0:42 Mens Doubles: [MAS] Kien Keat KOO [2] [MAS] Boon Heong TAN defeating [DEN] Mathias BOE [3] [DEN] Carsten MOGENSEN 21-14, 21-18 in 0:39 So happy for MAS: LCW and KKK/TBH coming back as winners again. .
I agree with Ayu's observations, MAS supporters (and mass media) have to return to the way they were up to the early 90s, support the players no matter what the result, and don't insult them if the results are not so encouraging. Which is how INA fans still support their players all this while, which is why you guys get loads of Olympic golds and World Champions past and present. MAS players themselves must learn to believe in their abilities all the time. It is of no use if the coaches believe in you when you have doubts yourself.
You nail it! Yet, if the results are not so encouraging, MAS tax-payers will be complaining that their money aren't being put to good use, esp in the current economic crisis. The money are simply wasted on underperformers and big-time charlies that can get free holiday, shopping for Gucci and Prada rings on Bond street and Paris MAS players are really in a very tough situation indeed. If they won like last night, they still couldn't take the credit for those victories. They won those titles simply because those are not the major titles, the opponents were too generous, the opponents were not motivated enough because they had it easy the previous match, the big picture: where's the major titles, etc etc. If they lost like last week, almost ensured they get condemned even more
erm....hehe...ya...and atleast....the defeat of lindan have keep bc from duplicated post:no title outside malaysia as number 1....never this...never tat....
