From Reuters: "This stadium was too old, nearly 30 years old," said Mai Ba Hung, deputy head of the city's Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. "It is awaiting major reconstruction, so safety checks may have been a bit loose," Hung told Reuters by telephone.
Since it was built 30years ago, your theory holds less validity. China had not even opened up in 1984
I think this is the first time for that mishap, can't imagine if the stadium is fully packed : Poor construction and old building problem often occurs in developing countries... Day-4 tournament (10.00am local time, 4 courts) will stage : https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=C36BBEFE-B7D9-4EC8-B46C-821960390346 MS : R/16 WS : R/32 MD : R/32 WD : R/32 XD : R/16 The upset so far in MS happened at first round, 4th seed Wong Wing Ki lost to Japanese player Kenta Nishimoto.
Yes, Sis. I too can't imagine if the court was occupied! There was once, roof leakage and water dropped onto to court. But I forgot which tournament. If I am not wrong, it was happened in India.
The roof leakage incident also occured in Singapore Indoor Stadium, CMIIW WS, MD, WD players will play two rounds today, R/16 and QF. Quarterfinal round will be started on 06.00pm local time, Order of play : https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=C36BBEFE-B7D9-4EC8-B46C-821960390346
SEMIFINALS (02.00pm local time, 2 courts) => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...6BBEFE-B7D9-4EC8-B46C-821960390346&d=20140906 Tough task for Hayom Rumbaka who will take on home fave Nguyen TM at last four, other court it's Prannoy v Tan CS. TPE top-two seeds were already out yesterday, local WS Vu Thi Trang is surrounded by three JPN players. XD title has been secured by 4 INA pairs.
Sis, you are wrong. That did not happen in india. It actually happened in indonesia in 2012 indonesia open. See saina vs shixian's match, play was stopped for almost 15 mins. Just for your information if you forgot.
I haven't seen the match, so can't really tell but, Tien Minh still seems to not have regained his past form. First time he loses a set to Hayom.
FINALS (01.00pm) => http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...6BBEFE-B7D9-4EC8-B46C-821960390346&d=20140907 INA camp have assured 2 titles through all INA finals in WD & XD also Japanese players as well, pretty Aya Ohori v former World Junior Champion Nozomi OKuhara. MS and MD will present two interesting final ties, - Hayom v Prannoy, both of them were pushed to the limit by their opponents Nguyen TM and Tan CS respectively yesterday, tricky test for Hayom to win title here after he's back to club last June. - Adistia/Gunawan v Kazuno/Yamada, equal chance for both pairs to add title, Adistia/Gunawan won TPE GP Gold while Kazuno/Yamada bagged RUS GP title last July.

Prannoy HS lost a close game to Rumbaka: 21-18 15-21 18-21 I am surprise that INA can bag MD, XD, WD and MS in this event probably because there is no CHN and no Koreans playing in the tournament. In WS there is no CHN, THA but JPN powerhouse is there so they won the WS final among themselves.
Yup, big winning for INA players to scoop 4 of 5 titles and Japan nailed WS title through Nozomi Okuhara. WS department is obviously INA weakest link that needs revamping immediately.
First tournament outside of PBSI, Hayom immediately won. Another Simon in the making ? Hopefully yes, perhaps Hayom can surprise people by winning a super series or beating LCW.
