    is Gao Ling staying on?

    still pretty strong that's true, but not as formidable as before.

    Awesome defence by DEN, JR appeals to umpire if LJJ was over the net, but he wasn't.........

    7-8 KOR

    Good Job for Maria Kristin..she's so relax today....
    Thanks Maria...you give us special gift for our Independence Day TOMMOROW!! Merdekaaaaaa..!!! :cool:

    See Krisna prediction when Indonesian Open held last Month....:D

    "Maria is now ready to represent INA! A bronze medal in the horizon maybe...?
    I think if Maria gets a bronze medal in Beijing 2008, that could be the crowning achievement in her whole career... She will never be a Susi or Mia... but if she can get a bronze in the WS medal tally, how many other Indonesian WS in history can claim to have achieved that kind of glory? "

    Not sure, but when I haven't heard anything from her, I assumed she's staying.

    Wrong ;). Susi Susanti did.
    Now it's PBSI turn to start paying more attention to women's single who has always been considered as the step child.

    Strength in depth isn't the issue for China Womens team, although they will probably not go on whitewashing opponents.

    The very top level player is the most important......maybe Mia should consider coming back? :D She still only 28....will be 32 in London

    WL, WYH, ZL, LL all solid, but nothing like the group of ZM, GR, ZN, XXF and also GZC who is similar age.

    Neither WD as strong as GL/HS, ZJW/YW

    Somehow I wonder how much influence Susi really has? I mean, does pep-talks and advices really do wonder like that? Then again, I'm no pro athlete nor an expert sport psychology :p

    GREAT STUFF BY JR!!!!

    Hope Jaques Rogge is still watching.......and sees different nation competing in final stages!!

    13-11.........Good to see JR/LP playing well again, they are a different style to the other European pairs, but also different to Asians. Unique. They may not make 2012 as contenders if at all, but an AE or SS title would do nicely!

    15-11 now, looking like clear air for DEN
