and i was talking abt the sportmanship from the fanI would agree that the other player shouldn't copy her behavior to a T though, as that would make her almost or just as bad.

I agree with you in this case. But China has history....So are you suggesting that Wang/Huang kept losing to Zheng/Huang numerous times because of teams order? I highly doubt that.
How nice that you ignore the rest of my comment regarding fans then....and i was talking abt the sportmanship from the fan

I know that China has its black history, but most of them happened under LYB's management and different situations.I agree with you in this case. But China has history....
"Badminton-centric blogs and online message boards are riddled with cheating allegations, some more substantiated than others. Chinese players are often at the center of these claims. As Tarek Hafi put it in Badzine (“The World’s No. 1 Badminton Webzine”), “crowds and badminton fans around the world have become accustomed to some trepidation before any match between two Chinese sides.” At the world championships in 2003, Chinese doubles players Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen were accused of tanking a match so their opponent—another Chinese doubles team—would have a better chance of advancing. In the women’s semifinals at the 2004 Summer Olympics, China’s Zhou Mi was allegedly instructed by her coach “not to work too hard” in her match against teammate Zhang Ning. Zhang went on to win gold. The same thing is said to have happened at the 2000 Sydney Games, when Ye Zhaoying was told to lay down against Gong Zhichao. Gong eventually won gold."

This is why I said in another thread, Asian Games's system is the best. It cannot be cheated. you can only meet player from the same country in the final.
Your wording was ambiguous, hence my cautionary sentence at the end. The point really stands on its own, and your post was merely a trigger so to speak.Of course, I'm not questioning the service judge's call, only to express the timing of the fault committed by Wang Yilu, hence the question mark and exclamation mark. How am I to know for sure if there's a service fault as seen on TV, even on TV replay ? You're clearly misreading my post or reading too much into it. Similarly for those three guys who agreed with you, so negative and suspicious of all of you. Oops, nothing personal.
Unless there is a camera placed strategically and viewing through the perspex gadget, we won't know what the service judge saw.
I'm still waiting for laser markers and a camera, similar to Hawkeye. Laser marker can be turned off after the serve to avoid any irritation for crouching players etc.agree
but I am still waiting for the time when BWF put a camera exactly at 115 so it can be reviewed, or possibly challenged in further future
History, how long ago ? Allegations? Allegations are unproved statements or assertions made with little or no proof.I agree with you in this case. But China has history....

Hot favourite Kento Momota has very smooth path en route to semifinal, all two straight-sets with longest match only hits 35 minutes only including destroys Srikanth Kidambi, 21-9 / 21-11. His semifinal opponent is going to the script, home last man standing and China number one Shi Yuqi who displays modest perfomance to overcome Ng Ka Long, we'll see how the struggling and below-par Shi could balance full confident Momota tomorrow even the Chinese stated he's not in best physical condition.
I just realized that from the matches tomorrow. China may only get represented in XD. WD is gone,SYQ is playing against momota, odds are momota will win.
Same with MD and WS.
Everything is possible but it is definitely worrying for local supporters
This is what I see as lacking in AngRick, Ihsan (nowadays), HafizGlo, Praveen and Anggia, and possibly some others but I forgot who they areI want people that want to win.
Yup. Didn’t really fault it on the Chinese players for playing so well but on the others who are taking so long to challenge them.AG? No Zhang/Li but Ahmad/Natsir instead. So 3 different nations back in AG.
Just like WD with mostly JPN pairs, wasn't it fun for you? Never seen you complained about that.
But it's not their fault if one nation dominated one discipline the SF. It's just the others are simply not good enough.
I agree with you in this case. But China has history....

how can you say "no other interested parties were involved?" when Camilla Martin had to fight hard to defeat Dai Yun, while Gong Zichao was only involved in a "drama match" with Ye Zhao Ying. As a neutral, I think it is a clear disadvantage to Camilla Martin.History, how long ago ? Allegations? Allegations are unproved statements or assertions made with little or no proof.
Never mind, let's not rake up the past , about 15 to 20 years ago. How about the recent past ? Any other country involved, are you sure only CHN ? Most importantly, if true, why didn't BWF take any actions against CHN? Or were those tactics regarded as internal matters involving the use of stratagems to maximise their chances of winning gold without directly breaking or violating the rules and regulations as no other interested parties were involved?
The most interesting is match between misaki matsutomo / ayaka takahashi VS Naoko Fukuman/Kurumi Yanao.I'm pretty sure you are also aware of matches between two players of the same nationalities other than CHN that could be suspicious or dubious, care to mention them ?
If it happened before, it can happen in the future. That's why I like Asian Games. No Cheating.But, anyway,I'm not sure if it's worth flogging a dead horse. Serves no purpose, except for some sore losers who still live in the past. Time to move on. Exciting times ahead, esp in MS as LD-LCW era is over, and also WS, WD as well as MD, for all the top players in each of the discipline are beatable, no one is really dominant, only briefly at most.
@JustinL this question has been niggling at the back of my mind. Not sure if it is a sensitive or correct question. But thought of getting your opinion.Another pathetic showing for CHN MS and WS, Xia Xuanze is one worrisome man.
Given the h2h record, I think only Minions and Ginting who have a good chance to go through to the final.All different nations in both MS (INA, TPE, CHN, JPN) and MD tomorrow (INA, CHN, DEN, TPE).
Two representatives for JPN in both WS (2 JPN, CHN, SPA) and WD (2 JPN, INA, BUL)
Personally I am hoping for Polii/Rahayu vs The Stoevas for WD final
As for XD, it's WC all over again with the same pairs but different match up.
