according to a few of the 'officals' the main reason for LYB sending the full MS team is to help CJ to remain at world No 4 thus qualify for the 3rd MS for olympics. can't see any other reason rather than this, can you?
Just joking lah . Accompany you watch mah, just I'll be flying in front of tv, you watch RTM or GD Sports/CCTV 5 online
Will be an interesting chess match for sure. INA sending out their full complement of Pelatnas MS to thwart this, and MAS also sending out their full contingent
No no no, I live in Rawang, 50 kms North of KL. JB is a tiring place to go. Not about the long distance, but the city traffic lights. They shouldn't have called the stretch between Ulu Tiram and JB City a "highway". Eagle, surely you have heard such a thing, we call 'em budget hotels ...... come over and let's meet. Otherwise, there's still time for u and Azabaz to plan a getaway to Jakarta ......
Actually, it's not the distance, it's the uphill climb back to the hotel that makes you welcome a taxi.
Thanks for the name list. That was part of the confusion to me because the locations had been mentioned differently by BCers. There are many other reasons why LD may go: be with XXF, get more prize, pre-OG 08 conditioning, every other best Asian MS player will be there, etc. The reason you gave could be the main one. But CJ has to be able to win matches by himself. We saw CJ going all the way to AE 08 MSF or losing early in Swiss Open 08 and India Open 08. Mere presence of LD will not guarantee what CJ will achieve. What I was asking is the facts regarding LD. It's been told LD did not go to MO for some reasons, but did he go to other recent ABC? Simply, I'm trying to assess how LD will fare against other players in an ABC setting.
I hope the time showing on streaming wouldn't be too bad for us, and wish you find time to fly off to courts sometimes so as to practice the "thinking" part to see how difficult it can be when against a better opponent
As far as i recall.. ..LinDan hasn't attended/competed in the ABC, used to be called that but now it's called BAC, in recent years.....let alone won it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton_Asia_Championships http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medalists_at_the_Badminton_Asia_Championships
Could be.. ..but he could've been asked by LYB to attend this yr's BAC for the previous mentioned reason(s), in this thread. I still don't know why LD didn't attend this tourney the last few yrs, though. Instead, it has been attended by ChenHong and other CHN players.
Yes, LD could be asked by LYB or even CJ. If your friend wants or needs you be there, wouldn't you go? If they are lucky in their draws, LD could win the half and CJ the other. If they are in the same half bracket, even if LD "loses" to CJ, the latter would still have to stand on his own feet to win afterward. As far as I can tell, CJ is in the right place in the World ranking. With some luck, he can reach SF albeit he's injury-free.
Are u sure :crying::crying::crying:Are u sure It will be shown on guandong sports?:crying::crying::crying:
