AirBadminton takes off in Singapore https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/singapore-badminton-scene.114130/ People playing Air Badminton at the atrium at Heartbeat@Bedok, on Nov 23, 2019.PHOTO: HEARTBEATBEDOK/FACEBOOK Published Nov 24, 2019, 4:42 pm SGT David Lee Correspondent SINGAPORE - AirBadminton made its official debut in Singapore at the Badminton Festival held at HeartBeat @ Bedok on Saturday (Nov 23), following the new sport's unveiling by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) in May. Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) vice-president Robert Lim said: "Badminton has a rich history in Singapore and many people love and play the game regularly. "However, players are limited by the number of badminton courts we have here in land-scarce Singapore. With AirBadminton, we would be able to play it in more areas such as parks, gardens and beaches and raise the popularity of the sport among Singaporeans." Unlike traditional indoor badminton, AirBadminton involves a unique shuttlecock that is resistant to wind. As such, people of all ages can play it outdoors on hard, grass and sand surfaces, in parks, gardens, streets, playgrounds and even beaches. The rules and game play of AirBadminton is largely similar to badminton game, with some slight differences. AirBadminton can be played as a singles game, doubles and even triples. A game is decided over five sets, with the first player to score nine points winning the set. However, the number of points and sets to win a game can be varied, just as in traditional badminton competitions. Supported by the SBA, People's Association (PA) and ActiveSG, the launch of AirBadminton at HeartBeat @ Bedok also saw friendly matches involving national intermediate squad players Lucas Saw, Qayum Noor, Tan Shi Bin, Johaan Prajogo, Sabrina Lee and Alexis Lee in an outdoor court. Teams also competed to be crowned the first-ever AirBadminton Singapore champions. Former SBA president Lee Yi Shyan, who is also an MP for East Coast GRC, said in a video played at the event: "We are happy this launch has got the support of the BWF, SBA, ActiveSG, and PA, and we hope that it would be popular among all our residents and amongst sportsmen and women."

SEA Games: Indonesian badminton women’s team gets silver after losing to Thailand https://www.thejakartapost.com/news...eam-gets-silver-after-losing-to-thailand.html The Jakarta Post Jakarta / Tue, December 3, 2019 / 05:00 pm Indonesian women's doubles pair Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istarani (right) and Apriyani Rahayu plays in a team event final against Thailand at the 30th Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019. (PBSI/PBSI) Indonesia failed to win gold in the badminton women’s team final at the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in the Philippines on Tuesday after losing to defending champion Thailand 3-1. Thailand’s victory this year gives it four consecutive finals wins at the Games. Indonesia opened Tuesday’s best-of-five battle a bit rough after its top singles shuttler Gregoria Mariska Tunjung lost 21-13, 12-21, 21-14 to former number one Ratchanok Intanon. Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istarani and Apriyani Rahayu, however, made it equal with a 21-17, 21-18 doubles win against Rawinda Prajongjai and Puttita Supajirakul. Singles shuttler Fitriani failed to carry the momentum, losing 21-8, 21-10 to Busanan Ongbamrungphan. In what turned out to be the deciding match, doubles pair Siti Fadia Silva and Ribka Sugiarto lost in straight games 21-8, 21-17 to Chayanit Chaladchalam and Phataimas Muenwong, losing their chance to prolong the final. “I feel like we were being held down by opponents and we could not get out of it. In the second game we found our rhythm but we rushed it,” said Ribka, adding that the loss was not due to nerves. A fifth and final match was not played. Indonesia won the bronze medal at the 2017 SEA Games in Malaysia after losing to the host team in the semifinals. Indonesia’s last SEA Games gold in the women’s team category was in 2007, when it beat Thailand in the semis en route to a final victory over Singapore.

4 singapore representative left today's quarter finals, and i doubt any will survive MS Shesar Hiren RHUSTAVITO [3] - LOH Kean Yew ---------------------------------------------- WD Vivian HOO [3] YAP Cheng Wen - Shinta Mulia SARI WONG Jia Ying Crystal ---------------------------------------------- WS HOOI Yue Yann Jaslyn - Nitchaon JINDAPOL [2] ---------------------------------------------- MD HEE Yong Kai Terry LOH Kean Hean - Aaron CHIA [2] SOH Wooi Yik
Unfortunately, I share your view that our players will find it very difficult to sail through today. LKY lost to Shesar recently if my memory serves me right. Let's see whether Jaslyn can repeat her performance and play well just like in the team event. Nevertheless, the best of luck to our players!
well well well, well done LKY. LOH Kean Yew - Shesar Hiren RHUSTAVITO [3] 21-18 22-20 the other 3 matches went against Singapore.
I just witnessed LKY beating Thailand's Wangcharoen 16-21, 21-6, 21-9 to enter the Finals. LKY made too many unforced errors in G1 but recovered well to overwhelm Wangcharoen in G2 and G3 with his speed and powerful smashes. Congrats to LKY and best of luck for finals. Can LKY repeat Singapore's only SEA Games gold by Wong Shoon Keat?

I think LKY lost more times to LZJ on head-to-head count. But LKY is quite determined to prove his worth.

lol. just remove the flag beside the name before you post. MS LEE Zii Jia [2] - LOH Kean Yew 21-18 21-18 thought LKY will stretch to 3 games when he led at game 2 interval.
LKY lost out in speed and smashing power. He also lost out at the net. His lifts were poor and allowed the tall LZJ to smash down easily. LZJ deserves to win the gold medal. Congrats to LZJ and to LKY for winning the silver.
Shuttler Loh Kean Yew eyes a better 2020, after breakthrough year Loh Kean Yew TNP PHOTO: MARK CHEONG Dec 10, 2019 06:00 am It might be a tad early for making New Year resolutions, but Singapore shuttler Loh Kean Yew already knows what would be among the top of his to-do list for 2020 - to make it an even better year. The world No. 30 capped his breakout season with a silver medal in the SEA Games men's singles yesterday, after losing 21-18, 21-18 to 14th-ranked Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia at the Mutinlupa Sports Center in Manila. Loh, 22, led for much of the second set before allowing Lee, 21, to claw back. Said Loh: "First set, I played quite OK, but I found it kind of wasted because I still made some simple errors that allowed him to get points easily and gain more confidence. "Second set, I was leading 11-6, I was quite confident at that time. Maybe after 11 points, I kind of wanted to win too much and just rushed my shots and made so many mistakes... and it's not so easy from then on. "I tried to play faster and have more advantage at the front, so I can make him lift (the shuttlecock). Because I'm against the wind, when he lifts, it's easier (for him) to be out." When asked to sum up the year, which started with an upset over former world No. 1 Lin Dan, Loh was quick to mention that he had already forgotten about that Thailand Masters victory as he always looks ahead. "It's been quite a good year but I want it to be even better next year," he said. "So I'm going to train even harder." Malaysia's shuttlers clinched two more golds. Kisona Selvaduray defeated Indonesia's Ruselli Hartawan 20-22, 21-14, 21-13 in the women's singles, while Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik beat Thailand's Bodin Isara and Maneepong Jongjit in the men's doubles. Indonesia won the women's and mixed doubles.
