Taufik Hidayat

^ Very true. For that reason top athletes should always retire when they're at their peak still winning, not when they're past their prime and start losing to hungry new comers.

What's a guy to do when they dump a truck load of money at your door just for you to show up? :confused:
 
Maybe he just loves the sport and these events so much that he doesn't want to stop? I think he just wants to have a good time and doesn't care about his performance anymore
 
Just to keep this thread alive, this is Taufik's performance that we missed for years. He was only 17 or 18 years old at that time...

wooow, that sound!
It's like every smash is at 300 Km/h :)
(Maybe it was that fast, but back then there was nobody to analize it ... :D)

It's not just how hard/fast they smashed but their movements were damn insanely fast on court (at least to my eyes). Notice on the 00:22 and 00:43 for example on how Taufik intercepted the defensive clears from PG, it's been something that people might have never seen for the last decade.

Asian games are not counted in official head-to-head records if I remember correctly.

I've never watched the IO 2004 match though. I tried finding a video but never managed to.
 
Taufik and Peter Gade are supposed to be participating in a "Chery Star legends Tour" this year in China.

The promotional "meet-and-greet" tour will run across 16 major cities in China, including Hefei, Wuhan, Kunming, Chengdu, Qindao, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Nanning, Dongguan, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Dalian, Harbin, and Dezhou.

Old story.

Taufik already settled this with the other side long ago, paid lucrative sum for the child and woman (who he knocked up after acquainted at Sigit Budiarto's party). It was confirmed that the boy's his child but he moved on long ago (after settling the issue) and has lived happily with his current family since.
