Her name is Jiang YanJiao. Non seeded , but she won in the qualifying draw. Now she is in the main draw. Her next opponent will be Salakjit Polsana , sister of Boonsak Polsana of Thailand.

cannot help but to notice that she can play with her left and right hands!

Good observation. :eek: That's cool!

My goodnews, is this allowed in badminton? Switching hands during a rally?

nothing in the rules that does't allow it. so yes, it is allowed.

Wow, so I guess it is possible, and not an april fools joke this time either!

Well the only thing you cant do is using 2 rackets at the same time :)

Are u sure both pictures are the same person? I noticed that the grip colour is different in both pictures. :rolleyes:

They look the same to me. Grip same, MP99 same, skirt, top same. Face difficult to tell beacause two relaxed and 1 stressed. I would say same though, maybe the image just reversed.

Bao Looks "cool" when playing.

Unless she had a nosejob and went to the hairdresser during the tournament I don't think it's the same player. Player 1 nose bends to the right, player 2 to the left :D ; also the hair on player 1 looks more, what's the word, springy/jumpy to me ;)
Oh yeah, I thought it would probably be a reversed photo as well, however the flag is on the same side and the sponsoring is the same.
Also face 1 looks longer than face 2 (more round shaped).
[n then ofcourse it does turn out 2 be the same player :rolleyes: , just waiting for it]

do u guys have any pics of the 'funny' pair of eng and ina? http://badmintoncentral.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

no i am not sure....

The first picture is Lu Lan and the second picture is Jiang Yan Jiao. They came to play for the world junior in Richmond, BC last October.

I find the new Japanese wonder girl, Eriko Hirose to be quite cute, and she looks like a very nice girl. I also like her positive attitude on court as well.

No, the first picture is Jiang Yan Jiao and the second and third is Lu Lan. I read it in the Chinese Website.

KK is correct, first picture is Lu Lan and second and third is Jiang Yan Jiao.

Can check the photos from World Junior'84:

No, from the website, I think that Jiang Yan Jiao is in the lady shown in the first picure followed by two pictures of Lu Lan.

Can't see clearly the 1st picture, but high probability is Lu Lan. The girl in 2nd and 3rd pictures definitely is not Lu Lan. The link shows you a picture of Jiang Yan Jiao when she played here in BC during the World Juniors Championships.

Either the Chinese girls don't know their team mates names or the website you are looking switched the names.

Player 1 nose bends to the right, player 2 to the left :D gosh! how can you tell? lol. the girl in the 2nd picture's nose looks dead centre to me :p

No, Lu Lan is right handed for sure!

gosh! how can you tell? lol. the girl in the 2nd picture's nose looks dead centre to me :p

Haha u are right but it sort of looked like it in picture2 plus I had to exagerate a little bit :cool:

I have no idea how they look like before I got the same pictures from the following Chinese website that said otherwise. I am wrong if Lu Lan is a right hander.

Jiang Yan Jiao: http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/p/2005-04-05/22221491103.shtml I can't read chinese...

Actually this makes me doubt, I'm not quite sure I'm not getting mistaken finally (about Lu Lan being a right-hander).

We would need further confirmation of a chinese fan...

The right-hander is Jiang Yanjiao.
The left-hander is Lu Lan.

Hopefully, the doubt is clarified now, Lu Lan is a left hander, the Chinese website is correct.

The right-hander is Jiang Yanjiao.

The left-hander is Lu Lan.

The right-hander is Jiang Yanjiao.
The left-hander is Lu Lan.NO, the right-hander is Lu Lan and the left-hander is Jiang Yan-Jiao.
I had been dining with the Chinese junior team twice, took many pictures,too.
And even drove them from VRC to Metrotown (a shopping mall) to shop around.
There are three Chinese WS players in my car: Lu Lan, Jiang and Wang Yi-Han.

More pics from the JP open...

Hopefully, the doubt is clarified now, Lu Lan is a left hander, the Chinese website is correct.

Here are some more pictures of Lu Lan while she was playing against Mia.

The player in the second picture looks oversize to me..

The player in the second picture looks oversize to me..
That's Mia, WS silver medalist at the 2004 Olympics.:)

Looks can be deceiving! you are looking at the twice olympic medallist!The player in the second picture looks oversize to me..

She could have been the Olympic GOLD Medalist if she were not overweight :D Looks can be deceiving! you are looking at the twice olympic medallist!

NO, the right-hander is Lu Lan and the left-hander is Jiang Yan-Jiao.

Then, the Chinese website is wrong.

Here are some more pictures of Lu Lan while she was playing against Mia.Since there is so much proof against the Chinese Website I read, it should be justified that Lu Lan is the right hander while Jiang Yan Jiao is the left hander.

Seven, you have to have confidence in yourself ;) - you are a badminton player :D. Lu Lan is right handed.

You may be right! :)
According to the photo in worldbadminton.net article (http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1760), Lu Lan is right-handed! ;)

The source of all this confusion is the Chinese website (sina.com) getting it wrong. I thought they should have known best.

Some pics of the JP Open

What a beautiful pic. Badminton = ballet

Hopefully, the pic will attach this time.

unlike other women players, note that ZN is wearing men's 89

hmm, somehow i feel that zhang ning doesnt look as nice in a dress than in a skirt. sorry to say, but her thighs are muscly and not slender, and she looks very inproportionate in that picture there.
