Moments of Victory ...... Time for some pics ..... Let us start with the Sabah heroines, Amelia Alicia Anscelly and Soong Fie Cho. Doing their best to bring back cheer to their earthquake ravaged state ......
Next Up ..... .... is Miss Busanan. But first, let's have a look at her no-nonsense coach. Thai Coach, about to go "Hulk" on the Umpire and Line Judge ...... which forced the Umpire to play a let Miss B's victory dance ..... And Thailand flags are raised.
In Contrast .... .... the Men's Singles final is very low key. With Chong Wei Feng deciding to play like the other "Chong Wei", Arif Latif had zero chance. Or so CWF thought. Arif : You know I'm just gifting this to stop you from sulking because the, ahem, other "Chong Wei" took your WC spot, don't you? CWF : What crap are you talking about? With my performance today, I am Chong Wei!
When is a rubber game match not become a rubber gamer? When the trailing team snatches victory from jaws of defeat, of course!!! Was expecting Kevin Sanjaya and Markus Gideon to rebound from a bad start as they usually do, but in the end, Angga Pratama was able to retain his title with a new partner.
Jordan did not impress me much yesterday, too many unforced errors. Something he cannot afford if he wants to move to Top 10. Debby was very good though and managed to challenge Liu Ying for parity at the net. Anyway, I didn't get to capture the victory celebrations of Mixed Doubles ... no thanks to some overzealous INA supporters in front of me who jumped for joy and ruined the shots ... :crying: Very fitting that Pak Gita Wirjawan did the honours of presenting the medals for the most exciting final of the games. Just so you know, the last 3 pics were taken off the large TV screen because the angle is not good enough for spectators to take pics directly.
