If this is confirmed, this is a GREAT result for Simon Santoso! :cool:

I hope that's true. :) What's the score?
In SEA GAMES 2003 Simon Santoso also created a big surprise bt Roslin Hashim. Good!

As I mentioned earlier, LCW is not on his top form at Manila.

OMG :eek: LCW loose... too bad.:(

Wow!! :eek:

Thanks for posting it by the way! :)

Yeah, the other day he was defeated by Wong Choong Hann (two sets) in the Malaysia-Indonesia 5th and deciding game. Good for Santoso to recover from that loss as we expect the Indonesian team to beat Malaysia in the Men's team finals. I think LCW is not playing 100%, he struggled against the guy from Vietnam (Nguyen Tien Minh) and almost lost the game. He lost the 1st set and was down 0-8 in the second set and at match point (11-14), luckily the vietnamese committed an error and he was able to win the 2nd set. The third set was total domination by LCW as the vietnamese tired out. A doctor was even called to check the status of the players as they would sit after every rally, they are really exhausted, good for LCW he is the stronger player. But today, his luck run out as he again struggled against Santoso.

Btw, the score is 15-11 and 15-9.

I agree with you based on what i saw in his game against boonsak and taufik and the report from my friend watching the games live. Too bad, i already bought a ticket expecting he will be playing in the finals against Hashim.

Btw, the score is 15-11 and 15-9.
Thanks.
Hmmh, if this is *the price we have to pay* for not fielding Taufik in the individual event, it's really worth it. :)

Go Simon! Don't be afraid of big names of badminton, you could be one of them soon :D

No wonder...I didn't know Nguyen Tien Minh held a match point yesterday. It must have been his inexperience that caused him to lose the second set and eventually the match.

Good result for Simon...and hopefully he can build on it. 2 solid wins over Boonsak and LCW certainly do good to his credentials. If only he is not that "lazy" as some mentioned.....

Will be an all-Indo final in 3 disciplines tomorrow? We shall await as today's results unfold slowly......

Thanks.

DEFINITELY! We have to learn how to "sacrifice" our veterans in order to realize the potential stars we have.

On a side note, I am also pretty disappointed at the decisions by Indonesian tennis federation (PELTI) in fielding some veterans like Wynne, Romana and Suwandi. I thought we also some potential youngsters coming up the ranks in tennis too. Too bad Angie is still injured...otherwise, she can definitely win the gold.

Thanks.

Alven and Luluk won their game today. I think they will win the gold medal tomorrow.

Yeah, he's just a kid and a giant killer. Got his autograph last wednesday.:)
We know LCW is not on top form. And we also know that Simon himself is a very talented player with great skill and techniques. How's the match going?

Alven and Luluk won their game today. I think they will win the gold medal tomorrow.

Keep up the updates...we are relying on u man! They should win the gold because they haven't won anything this year. A gold at SEA Games should at least allow them to end the year on a high.

The match between hashim and Sony is now in progress...Hashim is leading 3-1.

Caloy, can you post the results of the games that have finished so far?
Especially between Markis/Hendra and CCM/KKK + the mixed doubles.

......first game???

Ist set.....sorry guys but i have to go now...i'll try to post the result tomorrow or PM ur cel number...i can send the result of the hashim-sony game once i receive the result.:)

I think the chance for Malaysia to defend their men's doubles title is very slim following the withdrawal of Wan Wah. Hopefully Hafiz can grab the gold.

Yeah, he's just a kid and a giant killer. Got his autograph last wednesday.:)


Guys, can you all please tell me where to buy the ticket to watch the match ? Can I directly buy at the Phils Arena ? If yes how much ? For international people, do we need to bring passport ? (***In case they will make any check***). TQ.

You can buy directly at Philsports Arena. You will need a passport.

Caloy, read your PM.

and also Hafiz..
what bout WD, WS and XD..did WMC win?Eei Hui/WPT?

Score is 9-9 first set. Hashim vs Sony.

You can buy directly at Philsports Arena. You will need a passport.

The passport is to buy or when we want to go into the arena ?? Kinda lazy to bring any bags just to put my passport.

you won't need the passport to buy the tickets and to go to the arena.:)

how come there's no live scores in malaysia?? =(

We are getting live score from Caloy.

On the other front, Malaysia won the man triathlon silver medal after Kimbeley Yap's triump in yesterday woman triathlon.

you won't need the passport to buy the tickets and to go to the arena.:)

Are you sure ? Don't make me go back and cancel my plan to watch just because I don't bring my passport.....:D Do you know how much is the ticket price ?

Oh ya, 1 more thing. Since you went there before, did you find any chances to get the autograph or take picture with the players ?

whats wrong with LCW, is he sick or something? :crying:

whats wrong with LCW, is he sick or something? :crying:


That poor guy struggled so hard against Vietnam player, five him a break. Player's form is the decisive edge in most of the matches. He was just not in form.

Have u all read about the mess in gymnastics? I am so angry when i read abt it.

May I ask the results of other events besides badminton? Anyone know anything about the football semifinal between MAS and Vietnam?

1st set to Sony 15-11

1st set to Sony 15-11

Come one Hafiz, you can do it.........

1st set to Sony 15-11

Well, for this I still choose Sony. The one which surprised me was Simon can go through the final....well...This is my opinion for final round :

- Sony vs Simon --> Sony 60-40
- Hashim vs Simon --> erm...I don't think Simon will win this match....I give 60-40 also.

HHmm...it sounds Simon can't get the gold....

But let's tomorrow prove it.

May I ask the results of other events besides badminton? Anyone know anything about the football semifinal between MAS and Vietnam?

Vietnam won Malaysia didn't they?
Anyway, Nova/Lilyana won their match against Li Yujia/Saputra. 15-8, 15-4 i think. =[

ahhhh...Hafiz so inconsistent..

Interesting to read what Malaysian swimmer Lim Keng Liat said about this SEA games. Read http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Friday/Sport/20051202080419/Article/indexspot_html

where is our Mew Choo???

Any results of women's events?

That mean WMC and Eei Hui/WPT won lah?

That mean WMC and Eei Hui/WPT won lah?

She is in the final, I supposed.

That mean WMC and Eei Hui/WPT won lah?
Now M'sia is depending on women..

Ya, shame on the men...

whats wrong with LCW, is he sick or something? :crying:

Go! Go! Go! LCW!

Our young double pairs still havent reached the standard to be on par with other top pairs. The fact is, we are still depending on our veteran pair, CTF/LWW. What will happen after both of them retire from badminton arena?

Sony Wins 15-11, 15-1

Impressive win for Sony. Did MHH run out of gas?

Vietnam is having their national chess contest at Manila, see below





CHESS

Blitz

Men: 1. Nguyen Ngoc Truongson (Vie), 2. Nguyen Anh Dung (Vie), 3. Le Quang Liem (Vie). Women: 1. Hoang Thi Bao Tram (Vie), 2. Nguyen Quynh Ahn (Vie), 3. Nguyen Thi Thanh An (Vie).

that`s so INCREDIBLE!!!!I`m very disappointed abt LCW...
How abt WMC?Did she win???
And how abt eei hui/pei tty????Can any one told me as soon as possible??

Salakjit, Sathinee/Saralee lost?! :eek:

Hmm...today's results are simply perfect! (if they were of course officially results). So far, the only confirmed winners are Sony and Simon.

MEN'S SINGLES
Sony Dwi Kuncoro bt Muhd Hafiz Hashim 15-11, 15-1
Simon Santoso vs Lee Chong Wei 15-11, 15-9

MIXED DOUBLES
Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir bt Hendry Saputra Kurniawan/Li Yujia 15-8, 15-4
Anggun Nugroho/Yunita Tetty bt Koo Kien Keat/Wong Pei Tty 15-9, 15-5

So 2 gold medals assured....and if the men's doubles are also all-Indonesian final as what Caloy told us, make that 3.

MEN'S SINGLES
Simon Santoso vs Lee Chong Wei 15-11, 15-9


Doh! :eek: :eek: :eek: Oh well, maybe next time. :cool:

What happened to Malaysia Men's team?

I think for the team match, Indonesia team just let Malaysia to win.

Malaysia only know shouting "Boleh" :D
Betul ker semua boleh?

What happened to Malaysia Men's team?

Betul ker semua boleh?

"Let"??? I dun't think so. Team Malaysia deserves its victory in the team event because in terms of overall quality, they are more balanced than Team Indonesia. Hafiz, Choong Hann, and Tan Fook/Wan Wah were all on form that day.

The tables were however turned today, with all the matches ended in Team Indonesia's favor. For one thing, I never expected both Simon and Sony to win their respective matches. The doubles win were kinda expected. For mixed, it was touch and go. I guess Anggun/Yunita have more experience by now and also deserved their guaranteed silver medal.

Tomorrow's focus will turn to the women side, with Wong Meow Choo facing Adrianti Firdasari and Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui facing Jo Novita/Greysia Polii. Firda is definitely on form, having won all 5 matches so far. WMC has a higher chance, but, I hope Firda will win. Meanwhile, its 50-50 between Wong/Chin vs Jo/Greysia. Wong/Chin has a poor record in finals, with no win I believe. Jo/Greysia should be able to handle them after taking care of Saralee/Sathinee tonight.

Hopefully, Team Indonesia can achieve a clean sweep of all 5 medals.

What happened to Malaysia Men's team?

I think for the team match, Indonesia team just let Malaysia to win.

Malaysia only know shouting "Boleh" :D
Betul ker semua boleh?


Let? I dont think Indonesia team will ever do that. Malaysia team still has its strength and i think that the players WCH, Hafiz and CTF/LWW performed well on that day, just like Sigit's comments.

Malaysia has the track record of doing better in team than individual events. This was especially true in during the era of Sidek Brothers.

BTW, can anybody provide the full results of all semi-final matches?

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Wong Meow Choo bt Li Li 11-8, 11-0
Adrianti Firdasari bt Salakjit Ponsana 11-6, 7-11, 13-12 (that's a bloody close ending to the match...luck is obviously with Firda :eek: :eek: ) -- the SEA Games definitely is her best tournament so far, with victories over opponents mostly all ranked above her (Salakjit, Li Li, Xing Aiying). Hopefully, Hendrawan's dream of a gold medal from the supposedly weak link (women's singles) can be realized!

MEN'S DOUBLES
Luluk Hadiyanto/Alven Yulianto bt Choong Tan Fook/Wong Choong Hann 15-9, 15-2
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan bt Chan Chong Ming/Koo Kien Keat 15-13, 15-13 (close game :cool: )

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui bt Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia 15-8, 15-2
Jo Novita/Greysia Polii bt Saralee Thungthongkam/Sathinee Chankrachangwong 15-8, 17-15

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Adrianti Firdasari bt Salakjit Ponsana 11-6, 7-11, 13-12 (that's a bloody close ending to the match...luck is obviously with Firda :eek: :eek: ) -- the SEA Games definitely is her best tournament so far, with victories over opponents mostly all ranked above her (Salakjit, Li Li, Xing Aiying).

Luck ?? :confused:
I would say MENTAL STRENGTH rather! :cool:

just got back from the games, its all indonesia in the finals except for the ladies, LCW lost, Hafiz lost b'cuz i asked him what went wrong he said he has a stomach problem:D the whole day thats why all his shots were weak i think he's dehydrated, he could have given sony a good match, anyway KKK/CCM also lost, the malaysia cheering squad was late, they came right after LCW's game against santoso.

... :confused: :eek: :cool:
i haven't read all the posts in this thread, but wow, what a performance. IMO, the results were not really a surprise to me, to see Indonesia having at least 3 player/pair playing in the Final in 3 of the fields(MS, MD, XD). Surprise to see Simon overcome LCW in 2 gritty sets..
But the surprises were WS(i think as of right now, with this successful performance, Adrianti seemed to have the upper hand as Indo's #1 WS going into next year's UC) and WD(again Jo/Gresyia proved one more time that they are truly Indo's #1 WD pair). Adrianti performance against Salakjit(who is very2 good and by no means an easy opponent) is something she can build upon and give her confidence for next year's tourneys. But if all said and done, and *if* they can capture Golds in *all* the fields, which is possible, then at least they went there with half-the-success and come back not empty handed..But i'll take winning 3 golds which is very nice also.. :)
Wish if the could've gotten a gold in the Men's Team event. But i think some of the less experienced players felt some pressure during the Finals..

BTW, i kinda like Hafiz "reason/excuse" for his straight set loss to Sony today..hehehe..;) :p

wauuuuwww...
what a great day... 8 out of 10 finalis... hmmm.. yummie... i think Indonesia deserve it:) .
losing in team event but make all indonesian final in MS and MD evant is just a balance i think. without taufik so indonesian vs malaysia has 1=1 in this SEA GAME.
and i want to congrats WS!!! you did girl!!!:D

good consestancy i see on WD, they almost always make it into SF lately.

5 golds? hehehhehe..i won't be mind:rolleyes:

I agree. In terms of my personal ranking of the WS players, Firda tops the list, followed by Maria Kristin, and finally Fransisca Ratnasari. However, since the final order is determined by the latest February, it might change. IMHO, Firda and Maria Kristin have improved in the past few mths. Nana is on the other hand is a little bit stagnant.

The target by PBSI is three golds and the team manages to fulfil that. Its still a little disappointing though not to capture the gold in the team event, but, I would gladly exchange that for golds in the women singles and doubles :p :D

HMM...if this is really true....OH YEAH!!!

As I mentioned earlier, LCW is not on his top form at Manila.


have to agree, took him more than an hour to put away the vietnamese guy on day 4, and both were really winded. Before the vietnamese guy suffered a cramp, the game was really close.

... :confused: :eek: :cool:
BTW, i kinda like Hafiz "reason/excuse" for his straight set loss to Sony today..hehehe..;) :p

I think Hafiz's reason is valid, he's not feeling well. LCW is off-form (or maybe he's too busy "encouraging" WMC, he he, so WMC got to final instead ...) But Chan/Koo had no reason to lose to Hendra/Markis. Choong/Wong expected to not go far.

Nguyen Tien Minh has really improved alot. He almost control the games but lack of stamina and concentration gave him up. He did in fact give challenge to the other top players.

I think Hafiz's reason is valid, he's not feeling well. LCW is off-form (or maybe he's too busy "encouraging" WMC, he he, so WMC got to final instead ...) But Chan/Koo had no reason to lose to Hendra/Markis. Choong/Wong expected to not go far.

As usual, Chan Chong Ming/Koo Kien Keat are very erratic. They lost to both Luluk/Alven and Markis/Hendra in the past few days. Rexy really has his work cut out for him if he's going to turn this pair into a real world class pair! In terms of consistency, Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah are better!

Besides Team Indonesia's young pairs of Markis/Hendra and Hendra/Joko, I will also closely watch the progress of Team Malaysia's more promising trios next year: Mohd Tazari/Lin; Gan/Abdul Latif; and Tan/Ong. They are the ones that will rule the men's doubles world and all are still 20-22 yo (except for Hendra Gunawan)!!

I think Hafiz's reason is valid, he's not feeling well. LCW is off-form (or maybe he's too busy "encouraging" WMC, he he, so WMC got to final instead ...

Yeah, I think so. I watched the game. Hafiz was like no fight in the 2nd set. It's no reasonable to see him lost to Sony like that while had beaten him in 2 sets in the day before.
