I've never seen coaches sit during the internal matches though...its not that big of a deal...just pointing it out there, dont jump on me!
More sightings: Ng Wei (someone claimed he was dating Zhu Lin ) The Korean players practising -- I spent a fair amount of time watching them practise yesterday. It was fun filled lots of laughters from all the players, with single players like Park Sung Hwan and Lee Hyun Il playing doubles with Jung Jae Sung, Hwang Ji Man, Han Sang Hoon, Cho Gun Woo and Yoo Yeon Seong In contrast, the double gals: Hwang Yu Mi, Lee Kyung Won, Kim Min Jung, and Ha Jung Eun were playing singles. Lee Hyo Jung was sitting contentedly at the back, with her IPOD While Ha Tae Kwon and another coach were chatting and watching the proceedings. Keita Masuda -- he's a nice guy....and I always see him with his laptop.
I agree.. even though i was not there.. i have many eyes and ears in different teams. CJ was dissapointed that he was not given the opportunity to play his best. It is something he had to do. But later in the evening that day in the hotel.. he was praised by LYB.
Congrats Badmania, your heros won back to back titles! I think it was you we saw on tv congratulating Kido/Setiawan.
Ohh... thats Badmania...? Haha... saw a little boy behind Badmania who is wondering where to stand to get the signature of the Hongkong Open men's doubles champion...
I think i saw huangkwokhau, the famous hauge who is wearing INDONESIA Team jacket & congrats + shook hands with Nolyn & MK/HS after their respective victories..
I saw Chong Wei, Misbun and Mew Choo walking around. Many people asked Chong Wei for a picture. Mew Choo less so. She looks very different off court in normal clothes. I only recognised her because CW called out 'choo'.
Cheung you must be there at the same time i was.... during the 3rd set of the women doubles. the malaysian team were swooping t-shirts left, right and centre!! i was going to ask for a photo as well but decided against it. WMC looked a bit angry because LCW was 'swamped' by teenage girls!!
