    And even in tennis there isnt such thing as WC and Olympic is just so so.

    Its all about money plus someone like LCW already wins a lot of titles. Once you get engage to billionaire daughter, its easy for flame of badminton to be gone.

    If Kevin want to play in Paris24 with a new partner, then he will need to do so now.

    i think so. For the first time, i agree they should be split. This isnt a normal loss bcoz of injury anymore.

    if Gideon is paired with Pram or Yere i reckoned he d still do well. He can even play in front position and plays with Daniel looking at how Ahsan have transformed over the years.

    doesn't really matter split or not......one is getting old with bad injury.......and one is getting laid along with brains outside badminton

    they're both done for already.....time to look forward to the other pairs

    What does his fiance coming from money and status has to do with his desire to play badminton? Sports is something you enjoy, a passion, u either like or do not care for it.

    the thing is badminton is such a small sports worldwide. And definitely much smaller than politics. Passion and hardwork can be lost. Afterall they already won a lot of titles. Why do i need to work so hard for that sum of money no more?

    the WC prestige IMO is diluted ever since it started to be held on a yearly basis

    The three big ones in life are wealth, health, and happiness. We pursue them in that order but their importance is in the reverse.

    Try Gideon/Pram please, and let Kevin play singles so that he can take responsibility for his own shots, not to let his partner suffer because of him.

    if WC brings you sponsorship more money like Sindhu did then hell yeah its important but you can see in weightlifting and maybe athletics, it dont mean much.

    So at the end of the night honour is just honour (OG). 20-30 years ago maybe honour is important. Id rather win a 1 million $ prize money than OG if i can choose. You can say its the same with Kevin, he will inherit tycoon business man.

    Gideon can play with anyone but Kevin will get angry at any of his new partners bad shot, i can imagine that. I think Kevin can only play with Gideon, the thing is he isnt that fast or good anymore. And yet he cant appreciate him.

    this kind of crappy loss even AhsanHendra never lose in this kind of manner in 2 straight.. their worst loss is prolly against LeeWang in OG but we know what kind of form LW is in that time. Never like this.

    who is CSK? How many titles he won? Is it the bald guy in 96 Olympic Final? Maybe he is that type but Kevin has immense talent and you know he maybe rightly can do that. But he is 27 and not 23 now so he should be more mature.

    His body language is like i have the right to make these errors lol because you (gideon) got injured. He forgets he was the one that caught covid and causing them to miss 3 tournaments for that S1000 Thailand swing.

    Its a Great Question firstly,

    The most Important and Main Reason why WC is so special is because its the biggest tournament of the year in Badminton as it offers the points equal to that of Olympics more so it gives players the tittle of being the "WORLD CHAMPIONS" now the only other Tournament thats as prestigious as the WC is OLYPICS but Olympics only happens in 4 years and thats why WC doesnt take place in Olympic years as OLY is the biggest tournament of its year and not every player can win OLY TITTLE however,winning a medal itself at Olympic games is a very prestigious honour.

    So those players who cant win the Gold at Olympic games the WC offers them a chance to winning the biggest tittle of the badminton world every year.

    Also unlike the Regular S1000 events like that tournament in England etx you dont have the National Anthem of the winning players and flag hoisting which is only done at The Prestigious World Championships.

    Some of the Players who have made World Records at World Championships are -:

    Sir Lin Dan 5 WC Golds 2 WC Silvers (Most WC Medals by a MS player EVER )
    Madam Zhang Ning 1 Gold 2 Silvers 2 Bronze (Most WC Medals by a WS player EVER tied with PV SINDHU )
    Sir Caiyun/Sir Fu Haifeng 4 Golds 2 Bronze (Most Medals by MD pair)

    Active Players
    Carolina Marin 3 Golds ( Only WS to have won 3 WC Gold )
    Pusarla V Sindhu 1 Gold 2 Silvers 2 Bronze (Most WC Medals by a WS player Tied with Legend Madam Zhang Ning )

    PS - All These Legends are already Multiple Olympic Medalists Ex.Carol


    Hope it answers your Question !
