yeah kenneth is a great player too but i can´t remember see him winning against peter or ld/lcw. at the indo-open peter got a good chance to reach the semi or the finals .. i hope so!
Given his SF performance against LCW in SO where he got more than 10 points for 2 games, he has done pretty well. I expect him to win the IO. PG's big problem is he's mentally lazy (different from weak).Which can be fixed.He may not be able to match his younger opponents on physical speed but he can compensate by improving on his mental speed ie doing thorough homework on key opponents (except LCW because it would be wasted effort),sharpen game reading and take risks based on that.
Mentally lazy is the most hardest thing to be get rid of. The only thing that keep me supporting kkk is he is not mentally lazy. his' is surrounding. Mentally lazy is a problem that lies inside one's mind.To recover,its not just matter of time but the willingness. i do believe gade is not that simple.He is special. Just i dont think it'll be ok in olympic.
I am so proud of you for being 100% correct on the high-lighted portion, as why would Gade worry about LCW, when LCW will likely be out before/at 2nd round of OG 08, just like he did at WC 07.
fatherhood do u all think this factor affects a player's capability of competing?.... Just thought this might be one factor for PG's performance in SO. So is Taufik....he said that he has another 'passion' now, which is his baby....
LCW is great but not sure he will do good in big event ... he still not very mature when you hear him talk LD is good player but he has alot of stress PG is good but he seem to lose alot of stamina since here return to badminton Taufik .... geting old too .. but he still have alot of skill in him back hand smash... LHN (korea) is young and fast ... so all it's up to the match line up .....
are you sure you got this right? lee hyun il is older than TH, LCW and LD, only PG is older than him in this list ...
sorry i should not say young .... i should say young playing style .... he play like a young kid off the block ....
anything can happen in world of badminton when eveyone juz thinks that lee chong wei and lin dan will win that gold.. pls remember, that in OG08, im sure every players will give their 110% during each matches they play.
Peter Gade will have to improve his fitness if he is to challenge for a medal... his skills are no problem, just that he is slowly losing out to age to the younger players... though i wont write him or anyone off...
If you saw the singapore open when he play agains LCW. his stamina has gone down alot . LCW was making all the play. he was just not able to attack while defencing 70% of the time
yeah, i think PG can still give most of the top players a good run for their money. in order to beat LD or LCW, i think they would have to have a bad day at the office for that to happen, on current form.
i think that pg will win the og 08 and the matchpoint is his new trickshot! http://ekstrabladet.tv/sport/article956728.ece
