Need to train with Viktor. LS was also in the same training group if I remember correctly.
ya, and LS made it to the semi too. So 2021 coach of the year should go to Viktor.

Then the better player is not the winner
It’s multi factorial but for some people, it’s just the one piece of a puzzle that makes everything fit in. I would like to think that training with Viktor gave an insight on how much work is needed to get that extra 2-3% improvement in performance. Or even, it showed LKY how close he was to the very top and gave him the confidence.Why is everyone giving Viktor Axelsen credit for LKY's immense improvement and form? LKY is coached by Mulyo who was the one who coached Taufiq Hidayat and Kidambi in 2017.
This reminds me of 2011 WC when Morten said LCW is the better player, but the other commentator said but LD is champion. Morten had no reply to thatThen the better player is not the winner
If training with Axelsen is the main reason, then why didn't other players who were also in the camp became like LKY. I believe Mulyo has a bigger role to play.It’s multi factorial but for some people, it’s just the one piece of a puzzle that makes everything fit in.

You don't understand. I maintain Kidambi is the better player today![]()

Loh Kean Yew is World Champion. What an achievement for the kid.
Got to feel bad for Srikanth Kidambi, that backhand push into the net at 20-20 is gonna haunt him for years!
Well I think tactically, yes. He had the plan but other aspects, unfortunately no.You don't understand. I maintain Kidambi is the better player today![]()
Some fans had the same thoughts with LD too.Are we sure LKY isn't doping lol. He is like a monster
Congrats LKY, great use of the rare opportunity to win a WC title. Held his nerve very well for a first timer, better than SK.
I think LKY is too dependent on his speed in winning points. He doesn’t show that great tactical awareness (SK was doing those half smashes from the first point and LKY still kept falling for it). His shots lack depth more frequently than other top players e.g backhand clears. And his choice of shots expose him a lot defensively. I’m sure other players will figure him out in no time. He made the most of this opportunity though, good job world champion![]()
Why would TTY do that?Compare this to TTY in 2017 when she skyrocketed to #1. What did TTY do in 2017? She skipped the WC to play in the Universaide in Taiwan, lol. And the irony is, TTY's other Taiwan national team teammates opted to play in the WC over the Universaide in Taiwan.
That was one of the most crucial errors that Srikanth made.
Had Srikanth won that point, I think he would have won the gold.

Psychology matters.That’s... a weird statement to say. Winning a point that isn’t even game point in G2 makes one player win gold?
Yup, come back in 2023 after I have sorted out my game.Brian Yang too.....Viktor will say "sorry guys no more training camp in 2022".
Why would TTY do that?
