THIS IS AN EARLY WARNING FROM INDONESIA...
I guess 4 golds at the Olympics is realistic. Chances to realize it is 98%.
BRAVO INA
no way Indonesia will get 4 gold.
MS: LD seems to have it quite solidly in his grip ,and besides, its his home ground.
MD: CY FHF/ KKK TBH are still favourites - this time, I think there wouldn't be such big an upset - lets face it, MK HS only won because both teams were upsetted by other teams.
WS: ZN/XXF/ZL favourites
WD: No question even about this. LYB girl's will dominate.
XD: Only event where I think INA has chance...

i was just saying the likeliness of INA claiming 4 titles is very remote, and I listed potential candidates.excuses...
this is only the WC, if FHF/CY and KKK/TBH can't maintain their compoosure and pressure to themselves, how else can they do it in the olympics???
also, upset in each tournament is inevitable... you want an ideal competition where all the higher seeds will meet in the final round and battle it out to see who really is the gretest? nonsense, all badminton fans know that it's rare for people who has #1,2,3,4 seeds to even make it to the semis... upsets loom in their way, you can't give that as an excuse...
if i were them, strengthen their psychological sense... it is something that will make the difference come OG 08....
In this case...LD won WC because Sony is not 100% free from injury yet and TH lost to Anup because he enjoyed so much for his fatherhood.....
You see that INA fans never make excuses despite Sony lost to LD and TH lost to Anup...we accepted it as LD was better player....
Next year..who knows that CY/FHF's performance can be down as well as KKK/TBH...you will never know as this WC jst proved it....dont count the chicken before they hatch!!! even LD said that he was not sure that he will win next OG...

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!
..realistically, after this WC, the player i'm counting on for next yr will be Sony instead of Taufik...Who knows where will Taufik's mind will be come next yr? in the Olympics? Remember what he "promised" prior to this WC and what happened??..Yes...
TH/Sony will get GOLD
..rewarded more than what they received 2 yrs ago (2005), esp. for Nova & Lilyana...

*Thanks, abedeng, for helping out with the translation. Btw, in the Jawa Pos article today, aside from the same report, it also mentioned that PBSI is cash strapped/running out of funds. Thus Bang Yos(Sutiyoso) wants an additional Rp. 250 Milliar or ($2,500,000) added from the government to help PBSI achieve that goal in the Olympics, as well as the upcoming Thomas & Uber Cups in Jakarta. Of course, part of that money will go to his own pocket..

hahaha, u sure have a short memory.In this case...LD won WC because Sony is not 100% free from injury yet and TH lost to Anup because he enjoyed so much for his fatherhood.....You see that INA fans never make excuses despite Sony lost to LD and TH lost to Anup...we accepted it as LD was better player....

hmm... im sure making lots of enemies here! LD himself also said that he was lucky that LCW and TH lost in early rounds. I am not predicting anything - I'm just saying that winning 4 gold medals, which no country has managed before methinks, is highly highly improbable. Wouldn't you agree?
..that number$2,500,000 = 25 milliar rupiah![]()
..that number..I knew i had left an extra zero in there, in my previous post..

Guys I dun think Ina targeted 4th gold would come from WD
Here is the targeted gold:
1 MS
2 MD
3 XD
4 The Men's group game (if there are any...u know we have it during the asian games didn't we)
4 gold?
It's good enough, if Indo can win 1 gold in Beijing. His comment is reflecting how stupid the Indonesian officials are.
