GJW 's next opponent is Saina . This match should be interesting. As an underdog she can go all out to upset the applecart. Even a narrow loss would be no mean feat.Goh Jin Wei defeated Michelle Li convincingly, indicating that she is around top 20 caliber.
Me too I am absolutely very happy with Sun Yu great achievement and great win today.Sun Yu beat Nozomi Okuhara again (the previous time at the SIN Open in April) after besting Intanon Ratchanok the other week at the INA PSS, that just a couple months before Rio against two top Olympians, no mean feat certainly.
Sun Yu is improving slow and steady, she is on course to be among the top few after Rio , I think.
Pardon me for saying this, since you worship the Buddha, I'd expect you not to take worldly affairs too seriously, and also understand the Buddha's teaching of a non-discriminating mind (admittedly very hard to do for ordinary mortals like us).Worship him? That's exaggeration. How is merely stating the fact and BWF's regulation equal to worship him? I only worship Buddha and Dhamma and no one else.
No, I don't think LCW is even close compared with arahants or Buddha. He is a mere mortal.Those saints couldn't care less about the worldly honor. They are free from suffering and our life guidance. LCW? Not even close. But no doubt he is the icon of Badminton.

India coach P. Gopichand was certainly impressed by Chong Wei’s comeback after serving an eight-month doping ban in April last year.
“He has been a wonderful ambassador for the sport all these years. If Chong Wei stays focused and fully fit, he will be difficult to beat in Rio,” said Gopichand, the 2001 All-England champion.

"Chong Wei has been selected as the flag bearer for our contingent. I think he deserves it. He has been an icon in Malaysian sports for a long time. By giving him the honour, it will also motivate him... as a leader of the team." said Olympic Council of Malaysia president Tan Sri Tunku Imran Tuanku Ja'afar
Perhaps the Thomas cup win has given the Denmark men's team a big boost.Denmark is having more and more promising MD players, Christiansen/Daugard pushing Li Jinhui/Liu YTuchen hard, and Astrup/Rasmussen beating the prospective SIN pair Terry Hee/Loh Kean Hean.
Yes, that huge success apparently rubs off and uplifts the rest of the teammates.Perhaps the Thomas cup win has given the Denmark men's team a big boost.
LCW fans in this forum even came up with the lamest excuses I've heard like Olympics is not important, LCW don't need to prove anything, bla bla bla and so on and so forth. If everyone's saying Olympics is the most important tournament, it doesn't work the other way around just because your idol haven't won it. It only sound as the lamest excuses.

No . In the Indonesia open they lost to a scratch Danish pair of Kim Astrup and Line Kjaersfeldt.Is this the second time Tantowi/Natsir is upset by the relatively new Danish pair, Rasmussen/Fruergaard ?

Thanks for the reply, thinking man. Btw, I respect and like talking to thinking people, thinkers generally, they tend to be more sensible, rational and balanced in their views and opinions.No . In the Indonesia open they lost to a scratch Danish pair of Kim Astrup and Line Kjaersfeldt.
Very true, silver medal at the Olympics (unlike bronze owing to the new ruling) should never be underrated, the more so when you have two of them. But of course, Olympic performance alone is not enough, we have to look at the macro view of things,the whole spectrum, the overall performance of an athlete in his entire career, including H2H with rivals.I don't know why some people don't consider the silver medal as an olympic medal. LCW has two of them. OLY is not like SS, there is no "runner up", there is a silver medal.
