Positives , Kim/Kong. You both played well. They are a promising pair and young too. Congratulations Mayu/Nagahara
Lol, it's already the third title for JPN WD. FukuHiro took Malaysia Master title while TakaMatsu took Indonesia Master title.
Well a lot of nationalities are great of course, as long as they are great players. Not just for sake of variation of flags
In hindsight, it's probably quite a blessing neither AY or NO won the title here. There's no way either of them would have been able to climb that winner's podium without losing their dignity.
It was nothing compared to when NO on podium was completely blocked behind the officials head when they all posed for a group picture. lol Was it China Open?
Yeah, but that is about to change. Fukuman/Yonao doesn't exist anymore (they're out of the B team anyway and Fukuman has transferred to a diffent club team recently) and Shida/Matsuyama don't appear to be good enough to keep their position, let alone improve. Plus, there is zero in terms of younger talent on the horizon
you mean FukuYona pretty much retire from international? as for youngster i thought i saw chisatohoshi/aoimatsuda....i thought hoshi was quite good
