Just out of curiosity who won out of Peter Rasmussen and D.Lin (don't know his first name) Mens singles in the 2002 Thomas Cup. I haven't seen all of it.
Peter is a legend, will be missed by loadsa people. I train with Lian Zhang and sometimes got to play practice matches against peter, he's the worlds nicest guy.
You trained with Peter Rasmussen. I would love to do that, he's my inspiration in badminton. I've got video's of his matches and use the Carlton Rasmussen series, they are great rackets he had good taste in his rackets.
I completely agree, i've just finished downloading Sun Jun vs Rasmussen off eMule and it was well worth the wait. Easily one of the best matches i've ever seen.
I am just wandering, I've seen the first part of the Rasmussen vs Sun Jun match (and it is easily one of the best matches i've ever seen) and one of the commentators says that Peter Rasmussen has a style that can beat a asian player as he was taught by one, does anyone know who the chinese coach was? Thanks in advance Nathan
Zhang Lin Ying. Read more in this thread. And yes, that is a great match. But Peter was actually playing even better when he beat Arbi in the semi-final of the same tournament...
Does anyone have the ed2k link for the semi-final match against Hariyanto Arbi, I would imagine it was quite something to watch .
I agree that peter rasmussen was a great player, he is also my inspiration to play. His jump smashes are just awesome, i wish i could smash like him. I got the old rasmussen raquet and the new tour Best regards, Peter!
Peter rasmussen win in 97 WC is one of the most memorable moment in danish badminton history. he beat hariyanto arbi and sunjun to win this championship... in fact..during that time....hariyanto=taufik and sunjun=lindan can any of today player beat these 2 players back 2 back?
I agree it was an incredible match and it was very unfortunate that Sun Jun's leg cramped up, but before that Peter Rasmussen played extremely well, tireing out his Chinese opponent and his jump smash was incredible!, getting the lines frightengly well and manage to come back from a 9-13 to take it 18-13 in the 2nd game it was just incredible to watch showing that Peter Rasmussen had strong mental disipline. And in all fairness the handling of the dilema of Sun Jun's cramping was handled very poorely, Peter Rasmussen having to wait a long time between rallys and he too having to stretch to keep the latic acids out his muscles. But at the end it was a very nice thing to watch as Peter Rasmussen won but at the same time rather sad as Sun Jun had to get rushed out not even shaking Peter's hand. The feelings going through Peter Rasmussen at the very moment he won i can't imagine. Don't think i'll ever see a match as good as that.
anyway, suddenly feel that sun jun could have nearly matched yang yang's achievements by winning two back-to-back world champion crowns...
It actually says on a Danish badminton site that Peter Rasmussen is concidering a comeback http://badminton-nyt.dk/ He has started running, and if his body allows it, he will maybe start competing next year.
