Chen Hong's performance in the final

Very off topic, where are the moderators?!!:)

I am using a shared computer with very stringent holds on the type of information downloaded and programs used. Hopefully when Move house soon will be able to enjoy them on my own.

About the coach issue, I don't think it's xiong guo bao...it's the same man who coaches for all other chinese MS (his name is Li...something), Zhong Bo's replacement or so it seems. BTW where did Zhong Bo go? Havent seen him in the sidelines for a while now

Did you read the previous posts in this thread and in the thread with the link?

This thread has ctjcad confirming it is Li Zhifeng, and the thread linked has someone thinking it was Xiong Gu Bao, but being corrected to it being Li Zhifeng?

Dude, the article that I was referring to(provided by Cooler) only mentioned about the runner-up cheque that Chen Hong earned from the tournament, and it did not mention anything else other than that one $4,000 cheque. So, any other figure you can come up with is only your assumption and not a fact.

My point in the previous post is that a runner-up only earns $4,000 US. is very sad for a professional sport perspective. These athletes work so hard physically and have to be so mentally tough to get to where they are today only to earn so little... my business make way more than Chen Hong's $4,000 US./month, and I don't have to work as hard as Chen Hong from a physical and mental point of view.

Another thing is since the runner-up only makes $4,000US, one can only imagine how much less the other players make from this tournament... How are they suppose to live without the financial support of sponsors or their badminton association...

BB, you mentioned that US$4000 is not a lot of money for Chen Hong to win --- all I am saying to you is that they are not going for that money. He is out to win sponsors. I don't care if the others don't make money if they don't come good with their play. If that is not comprehensible, forget about replying to this.

Han Jian also mentioned that it is very sad indeed that Badminton did not increase much on prizes...He mentioned it..I beleived like 2 yrs ago when there was reunion with Morten, Lim Swie King, Icuk, etc...

Indeed...it is sad and tough to be professional players..I hope that more sponsors will involve as well as TV then Nike, reebok ,

Hopefully badminton will be like Tennis...I can see many small tounaments in Europe and Middle east/africa now..

We have to appreciate all players...pls not bash them...it will break their hearts..
