According to Sutiyoso, the success of winning two world titles have made him bold enough to target four gold medals from the badminton event at the Beijing Olympics 2008.

Echoing Sutiyoso's target at the Olympics, the pair of Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan has mentioned their readiness to wrest the Olympic gold from the men's doubles event.
THIS IS AN EARLY WARNING FROM INDONESIA... I guess 4 golds at the Olympics is realistic. Chances to realize it is 98%. BRAVO INA
hm...4 golds....??? I have to say it is tough...I will be very happy if we can get 2..unless Vita/butet plays well in WD then we have a bigger hope....
Four golds target in Beijing Games according Bang Yos version will coming from 2 WChamps 2007, Lilyana/Vita (WD) and MS (TH or Sony). Is this wishful thinking? Even from 1992 Barcelona until 2004 Athens INA was capable to reach maximum 2 Golds in Olympic arena. I think INA's gold tradition may continue in upcoming 2008 OG but never dare to dream 4 golds unless miracle happens!
LYB has already lashed out at his team for winning "only 3 golds". That shows China's ambition, a clean sweep of all Olympic gold medals. Remember Beijing Asiad 1990? China almost achieved a clean sweep, but for the presence of Professor Park and Chung Myeong Hee.
Yes... TH/Sony will get GOLD MK/Hendara will get GOLD Nova/Butet or Flandy/Vita will get GOLD Lylyana/Vita will also get GOLD So...4 GOLDS for Beijing Olympics is VERY REALISTIC!!!! The only remaining gold will go to WS --> China
