i have a sneaking suspicion that ..many malaysians share my sentiments.... this year has not been a good year for malaysian sports...(or any year for that matter).... (unless you are a squash queen or a cyclist)..... this will not be the year of malaysian badminton just yet... the same bad habits are being repeated year after year.... too high expectations.. undue and unnecessary pressure added on the athletes...allowing politicians to say and meddle too much about the sports they know little about... in the media... case in point.. note the media hype about the malaysian national football team during their runup to the malaysia singapore world cup qualifier game.... or am i just being mr pessimistic here? but i will still yell boleh!!! until i am hoarse
Good chances for Malaysia could come from LCW and KKK/TBH . Good chances for Malaysia could come from LCW and KKK/TBH. For the others, I think they could find their opponents too tough for them, IMHO. .
better than mbo kan cheong LOL............its early bird ussually got discount meh?? Plus we can talk more right?
2011 World Championships: 347 players participating . Just found that I have made mistakes; The correct number of entries are; MS......65 WS.....48 MD......48 WD.....48 XD......50 Total entries...259 Total players...347 .
i got the season ticket for the whole week, probably will not go for day 1 and day 2. as much as i like badminton, R64 are sometime painful to watch.
Get more sleep and rest well this week to watch full week of badminton next week Buy loads of coffee just in case
In the MS it's actually 64 players, Jan O Jorgensen is still listed although he was replaced by Hans-Kristian Vittinghus. Also the number of pairs in MX is 47, there are also some (early) withdrawals. The other numbers should be correct though.
. abedeng, You are always lucky to be able to watch it live at court-side. Hope that your total watching-time will be longer than your total flying-time to get over there and back. .
