My dream has come true

[Baderz_Jas]

I am a Chinese supporter-12yrs old,I speak Cantonese and know a tiny little bit of Mandarin. My sister,mum and I went to watch the 2006 All England Open Championship in the NIA.

Friday 20th was our first day,quarter-finals day. I was very excited to watch Lin Dan ,Chen Jin and lots more as I haven't watched live badminton since 2005 AE. When ever any players from China were playing, I was shouting China and Lin Dan Jia You as loud as I could. Chen Jin didn't play very well,he was slower and his smashes weren't as powerful as people said it was. Lin Dan wasn't aggresive enough in the first game against Kenneth Jonassen which was 15-10,but then he smached nearly every point and won the second game 15-3.

Saturday 21st,semi-finals day. My family and I were walking to a hotel see my friend Dominic(the person who gave us the live scores) and we saw Lin Dan jogging on the streets to warm up for his match against Lee Chong Wei. So we went to him and took pictures and I asked him to sign a picture which I took with him last year,then for the first time I saw him smiling:) We got inside the hotel and saw players from most of the countries staying in that hotel. My sister,Dominic and I took pictures with Candra Wijaya,Pi Hongyan,Lee Hyun Il,Widiato Natsir,Peter Gade,Zhang Jun,Wei Yili,Zhang Yawen,Xie Xingfang +lots more:D When they started playing I was shouting for China and Lin Dan really loud again. When Lin Dan was losing in the third game against Lee Chong Wei:crying:I shouted even louder so I lost my voice:eek: When he won he took his black t-shirt off and went through to talk to the coaches about the match. So me and one of my friends sprinted as fast as I could into the authorised area even though we don't have a pass:o We went up to Lin Dan,he asked for a signatlure and asked I for his t-shirt,he just gave it to me!!!:) It was the shirt he actually wore,it was very wet which made it heavy. I was so happy that I couldn't go to bed until half-past two in the morning. I thought it couldn't get better,BUT IT DID!!!

Sunday 22nd,finals day. That morning we saw Lin Dan jogging again as we were going to met up with my friend in Jury's Inn,this time he gave me a five:D When we got inside the arena the MD was just about to start a member of the China team came down and told us that one of the coaches has invited me to go and join them on the players' stand:) and that the coach has a son-13yrs old. When she left we thought 'what just happened':eek: When the MD finished I went up the players' stand with the woman who came down and I sat between Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun!!!:) I found out that Li YongBo invited me :eek:I was shocked. The headcoach of the best badminton country wanted me to sit with him:eek: I chatted with some of the players and coaches,they were all very polite and looked after me as well. When they started the XD we were all cheering for Zhang Jun and Gao Ling. It was so nervous when we were watching them because Robertson/Emms had 8-10serves to win the match in the second game. In the third game Zhang/Gao totally trashed the English pair 15-1,Nathan Robetson's body language was absolutely awful:mad: After the XD we all went behind the stand and played games with our hands:confused: Then we didn't watch the WS because it was China vs China.

After that match it was the MS between Lin Dan and Lee Hyun Il. We were cheering for him every point(especially me:D). When he slipped and twisted his knee we were very worried about him because he couln't move,but when he gave Li YongBo a wave meaning he's alrite we weren't as worried:) After he won we all went down to clap when he comes round doing the lap of honour. Li YongBo told me that Lin Dan is going to gave me the racket his used. I was shocked again!:eek: LYB was so kind and polite to all the players,he is really funny as well. Then he went to the Doping Room where the doctor had a look at his knee,so I went in with the chinese woman holding a bag of ice for Lin Dan. His knee didn't look nice. I could tell that he was in a lot of pain:crying: Then I got told to get out of the Doping Room because children aren't allowed in. Dominic and I had to wait for about ten minutes before he came out gaving me his racket and saying 'Thank You' to me,then I said 'Xie Xie' then Dominic took a picture of us with his racket in my hands:D That night we went to a chinese resturant called Tin Tin and saw the whole China team!:D I went over there and got Chen Hong,Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun to sign pictures I took with them last year. The players sat on two big tables,Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang were sitting with all the coaches on another table. Then when we were going home I went over to say bye and thank you to LYB,Lin Dan and all the players. They all said thank you and gave a fives! :D I can't believe all of this happened in just three days!!! My dream really has come TRUE:)

[glencomienda111]

lucky you:) post some pics please:D

[terry]

[Jan_BE]

Great story, very lucky you :D

[mindfields]

Hey where you the kid sitting in block 10 around row D-H?

You've got a bloody good set of lungs if you where. Could hear you & we where on the other side of the arena in Block 3. :eek:

You know that the woman in front of you had her hands over her ears every time you where shouting? :D

[seven]

Very nice story Baderz_Jas, you must have been delighted! :D

and my mum said she's very rude to do that

[Baderz_Jas]

Very nice story Baderz_Jas, you must have been delighted! :D

i was extremely good,i still fell like dreaming

[ants]

Great to hear your experience in the AE event. I hope your encounters with the players will inspire you more in whatever you do in the future. Dream a bigger dream and it will definately happen if you want it to be.

[kemana]

you are really lucky, it took me three days to actually had a chance to talk to taufik for like five minuts and took only one pic with him during sudiman cup 2005, i found it very hard to find Indo players outside the stadium, and in the stadium the guards kept getting you away from them..... maybe they are a little shy?

[Baderz_Jas]

lucky you:) post some pics please:D

Here are some pics with the players,i'll post the pic with lin dan's racket when i recieve it from my friend

[Wizbit]

Actually they dont really like to talk to people they dont know. I can say they are abit reserve.. another thing is that their English is not that good.

[glencomienda111]

thanks for the wonderful pics:)

[terry]

Ants, do you think i can get this kind of pic too during my visit to Philippines Open? :p

[seven]

Hehe, you are free to cheer for who you want!
As long as you remain the best, no reason they should kick you out! :D

About not playing abroad, it is normal, you are young.
You must be patient and improve at training, you will get to play lots of tournaments abroad when you grow older...

[kemana]

Actually they dont really like to talk to people they dont know. I can say they are abit reserve.. another thing is that their English is not that good.

Boy, you are too lucky! Thank you for telling us your experience in AE :)
LYB and all other players seem to be really nice and polite. So lucky to get Lin Dan's shirt + racket :cool:
I saw you so many times on TV, cuz you were shouting whenever China was playing. JIA YOU!!!
Btw, can you post the other pics as well? e.g. those Cai/Fu have signed? :D

[ants]

thought his english is pretty good:)

His english is ok.. but not the others. They do know how to speak.. but prefer not to.

[Dzgdz]

Hi Baderz_Jas

I saw you when LD was giving you the shirt.

As perfectly described in your post, he was sitting on the floor behind the stand where players where interviewed by journalists. LD was in conversation with LYB when two boys approached and asked him. Then I saw LD giving you the shirt and I remember you looking surprised and happy.

I was observing this from the sits quite high above you and I remember the thought I had then:

how lucky this young man must feel, he was given a shirt after such a tremendous and memorable match

now you have a big question to answer (or maybe your Mama already took care about this):

to wash or not to wash

take care Baderz_Jas

[ants]

Ants, do you think i can get this kind of pic too during my visit to Philippines Open? :p

Sure... but in terms of cute? hmmmm i dont think so. :D

If you dont wash it , fungus and parasite might eat it. I suggest you wash it. Its just sweat.

[$100 Dreams]

Wow! Wow! congrats!! you are sooo lucky!! :) :)

Baderz_Jas,

i am very very very happy for you. those are awesome pics and you brought smiles to some players who always looks very serious on court (like Natsir), of course, they also brought smile to you as well.

[magical_phoenix]

Yeah, I would also like to know. from the picture, it looks like a fake :D

[Baderz_Jas]

Woah! So happy for you.

Do youd min telling us what is the complete serial code, grip size and weight of LD's racquet?

It's 080946CP,3U G4 :D

[magical_phoenix]

Here are the pics from last year

Great pics! Thanks!! U switched from NIKE jacket to Yonex. Yonex must be really happy lol.

[cooler]

okay thanks for the tips my mum will definitely wash it

the shirt wont get spoiled due to fungus and parasites or things like that without washing. However, it is unlikely u will be storing the shirt under control environment so washing it is a good policy.

[Jan_BE]

i will tell all of u guys wen da day comes

If you do, can I have your shirt? :D

[ants]

the shirt wont get spoiled due to fungus and parasites or things like that without washing. However, it is unlikely u will be storing the shirt under control environment so washing it is a good policy.

not if you are in Asia.. :eek:

[jamesd20]

It's 080946CP,3U G4 :D

Lin Dan only uses a 3u? surprising to me.


I remember you shouting, good on you.

[ants]

Lin Dan only uses a 3u? surprising to me.


I remember you shouting, good on you.

He does uses 3U racket. But sometimes he has 4Us with him too.

[yannie]

If you do, can I have your shirt? :D

haha then i will shout JIA YOU JA-SON!!! JIA YOU ENGLAND :o !!!

[Baderz_Jas]

[Baderz_Jas]

[magical_phoenix]

Very nice.. Wah, a brand new shirt and he gave u directly... Great!!! Everyone in BC who attends AE will definitely shout JIA YOU JASON!!! if u play there one day^^

[smash_master]

thats so cool, its great that you got to expirence that and get all those great pictures and same with LD's shirt plus you got his racquet:eek: :eek: wow your so lucky, this AE is deffinetly one to remember for you then. thanks for posting the pictures and telling about your expirence, maby one day i will be as lucky as you:rolleyes: ive only come close to Kyle Foley haha nothing compared to number 1 Lin Dan and all the others you met.

[kwun]

i know i'm very lucky too because not every1 has the chance to get invited by LYB.:) i was too excited to ask them anything.:crying:

Badez_Jas

did you get a chance to talk to LiYB's son?

this is really cool. Li Yongbo normally give ppl the impression that he is cold, strict and unapproachable. but after reading your experience, i must say that i have a much better impression of him now.

[cooler]

Here's the picture of lin dan's shirt

Thanks for sharing the pictures (all of them;) of your pride and joy.
The black one sure looks nice. Size O, i think that is one size up of L if i'm correct. L in asia is similar to a M in north america.

[CanuckBur]

Man, this is so cool!!:):D:crying:

[Darth Andrianus]

Hey there, this is the most incredible badminton story of all time! You are such a lucky person and I am so jealous! Can you tell me something? What is Zhang Yawen like? I'm a really big fan and have you spoken to her? I hope you will meet these players more often and i hope you will have a successful career for England. They would do good to have your service :):):)

[Froca]

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:lucky lucky lucky kid!!!!!

u make me wish i'm a cute lil 12yrs old:crying:


man u got LD's racquet!!!!!!!
that really is a dream come true:D

WOW LD"S racquet:crying::crying::crying:u should frame it:p

[Wong8Egg]

You're lucky my friend!!! I think you are also captured on TV on the match between LD and KJ.

I would sleep with his shirt and racket even if it stink from the world number one!!! :eek:

I envy you ;)

[madbad]

That's a wonderful story, unfolding layer upon layer, and getting better and better. Things like these are normally what dreams are made of but to have it really happen... wow! Congratulations. You must have felt completely out of this world. Think about it, your vocal support for China was so strong it even made an impression on LYB. Treasure the whole experience for the rest of your life and use it as inspiration to reach for your badminton goals (and even non badminton ones). And always remember, when you become famous ( :D ), how you were treated by all these wonderful badminton players and behave accordingly to others. I'm sure your parents must be very proud of you. You're a cute kid, haha :p .

[asphyxiate]

....just... WOW :eek: .


Thanks for sharing --that's very cool!!!

[Baderz_Jas]

Yea i did talk to his son, lyb asked us to keep in touch so i gave him my e-mail address but i forgot to ask for his. Lyb is a really nice person, always smiles and he was laughing with the players all the time at the restaurant. My mum thank him for inviting me and he smiled and said 'mai guanxi, mai guanxi'. He's a very different person when not on the court and he really cared about Lin Dan's injury after the game.

Zhang Yawen is very cute, always smiling and very kind to me when I was sitting with them. Her voice is very soft and I like her too. My mum likes her too. If I receive their address I will visit them in Beijing this summer.

Baderz_Jas

[hezudao]

Wow, just wow! Yours is a most heartwarming and encouraging story. I am extremely happy for ya. What an experience to treasure for the rest of your life. Nice to hear the behind the scene stories and as a chinese supporter myself, thank you for your vocal support to the players. I'm most envious that u could be so closed to the players, coaches and the rest of the team. of course, it helps if one is a cute young boy.:D

lin dan is also my fav player, although I'm liking chen jin nowadays too. pray tell, did u interact much with chen jin?

[crosscourt]

yea it's me. everytime I shouted LIn Dan jia you, she said Lin Dan Shut Up
and my mum said she's very rude to do that

I could hear you too over in Block 4, you really gave it everything! Who knows, you may inspired LD's comeback!

I think you were wearing a yellow t-shirt weren't you or was that the person next to you? I wish we'd had someone like you on our side during the XD finals, you might have been able to get Nathan Robertson to actually make the effort.

By the way, I think your mum was right, it was very rude of the woman in front of you to say that. Maybe she was more used to going to a quiet game like snooker than badminton!

[sac_man]

Zhang Yawen is very cute, always smiling and very kind to me when I was sitting with them. Her voice is very soft and I like her too. My mum likes her too. If I receive their address I will visit them in Beijing this summer.

Baderz_Jas
hey ! Baderz_jas.
I am jealous !, how did you manage to have your pictures taken with all good looking girls...( just kidding )
I am really excited for you ! to have such a good experiences..
you are so cutee, no wonder those players like you so much !!!
you definetely bring something out of LIN Dan that most peoples don't see,
his kindness, with more story like this I think the chinese team will win a lot of hearts !!!

I hope one of these days I will watch you playing at World championship..
( hopefully you will give me your T-shirt !!!, :) )

[DinkAlot]

What an amazing three days, congrats! :D

[DinkAlot]

thx,i will not use it coz i might snap the strings

If LD didn't snap it, you probably won't either. :D

[hezudao]

did you get a chance to talk to LiYB's son?

this is really cool. Li Yongbo normally give ppl the impression that he is cold, strict and unapproachable. but after reading your experience, i must say that i have a much better impression of him now.

I'm always of the impression that most people are quite different when they are on the competitive arena, facing the media, and being a team leader as compared to when they are with close ones and friends in private. So I never thought of LYB as an unfriendly person, because in truth, i really don't know his real personality and his private life. some of the rumors about LYB are probably arose from jealous resentment or simply misunderstood. i usually tend to ignore them.

[DarthHowie]

Great post. Terrific story. This must of been a truly inspiring and memorable moment in your young life. Wish you all the best!!

[rwchen]

It's a great pleasure to read your wonderful experience in AE. Your picture with Lin Dan somehow shows a close bond linking two of you. You would be like him on day? Hope that the awesome encounter will inspire you to achieve bigger dreams in the future!

[tze yang]

i find badminton stars really friendly especially overseas, i think its partly due to the lack of publicity they get, and tht might be y LYB invited u to the chinese stand coz they really do appreciate fans
i remember once where i met sairul and ong ewe hock in new zealand and my mum went over and talk to them and asked for a sig and when they returned a year later for the 1* new zealand open sairul actually recognises my mum and waved to her(b4 she even said hi or waved to him)...dnt think u'll get tht with federer or sharapova

[Pball]

Sure... but in terms of cute? hmmmm i dont think so. :D

ahahaha... you can always use a special effect lens @ ants..

[tehsham]

Lucky kid.....you have the two of most valuable collector items (quite sure you will not depart it for any value)...reading your 3 days story ...wow is like a dream but it's indeed reality !!!

[khwong]

Simply awesome! Yeah i saw you on TV!:)
Baderz_Jas in wonderland!:p
Thanks for sharing!

[Eurasian =--(O)]

Man I am envious! You will remember your AE 2006 experience for the rest of your life I am sure! Thanks for sharing the pictures! You are almost famous it seems! haha! Wow! I'm sure everytime the team comes to England for AE you will be invited to sit with them. Were you nervous at all?

[theasiandude88]

glad you had fun

those 3 days must be like, the best days of your life. im pretty sure that now a lot of people on the forum will be able to recognize you at tournaments ;)

im surprised that lindan changed the factory grip on his racket, i thought he just put a towel grip over the factory.

im sure that after having this great experience, your determination to become a amazing player has just rose to the next level. :cool:

[Baderz_Jas]

Man I am envious! You will remember your AE 2006 experience for the rest of your life I am sure! Thanks for sharing the pictures! You are almost famous it seems! haha! Wow! I'm sure everytime the team comes to England for AE you will be invited to sit with them. Were you nervous at all?

I was so excited that I forgot mostly everything I was going to say and I was a bit nervous.:crying:

[aquaboi]

WOOOOOW!:eek: awesome experience...your story just made my day! really happy for you:)

Really cool story! Like Kwun said "aah to be 12 again".:) These are the people we need to be encouraging in this country if we are to give the sport the encouragement it so rightly deserves.

[Kamen]

badderz_jas, you are so cute, i wish i have a son like you. it's great to know that you have had an enjoyable 2006 AE.

[hezudao]

I just downloaded the match between Xie/Zhang and Robertson/Emms and watching it now, hehe :D...I think I heard you shouting "Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You! Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You!"

It sounded clear, loud, boyish, and rather hoarse. even the commentator mentioned about you, saying the boy who shouted "Lin Dan, jia you!" is now shouting "Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You!":)

so adorable...

[ajoooo]

We have been there too with our group from belgium ..
We can ear you all the 2 days except finals when you were so quiet :)
We have give you a surname ,: JUNIOR , from our point of vue ( block 4) you looked like DAN LIN look !!
We saw the photos with Chineese team ..how lucky you are ..
What was the words you shouted ?? it was like LIN DAAAAN YO YO .. or LIN DAAAAAN GA YO ??


R
I am a Chinese supporter-12yrs old,I speak Cantonese and know a tiny little bit of Mandarin. My sister,mum and I went to watch the 2006 All England Open Championship in the NIA.

Friday 20th was our first day,quarter-finals day. I was very excited to watch Lin Dan ,Chen Jin and lots more as I haven't watched live badminton since 2005 AE. When ever any players from China were playing, I was shouting China and Lin Dan Jia You as loud as I could. Chen Jin didn't play very well,he was slower and his smashes weren't as powerful as people said it was. Lin Dan wasn't aggresive enough in the first game against Kenneth Jonassen which was 15-10,but then he smached nearly every point and won the second game 15-3.

Saturday 21st,semi-finals day. My family and I were walking to a hotel see my friend Dominic(the person who gave us the live scores) and we saw Lin Dan jogging on the streets to warm up for his match against Lee Chong Wei. So we went to him and took pictures and I asked him to sign a picture which I took with him last year,then for the first time I saw him smiling:) We got inside the hotel and saw players from most of the countries staying in that hotel. My sister,Dominic and I took pictures with Candra Wijaya,Pi Hongyan,Lee Hyun Il,Widiato Natsir,Peter Gade,Zhang Jun,Wei Yili,Zhang Yawen,Xie Xingfang +lots more:D When they started playing I was shouting for China and Lin Dan really loud again. When Lin Dan was losing in the third game against Lee Chong Wei:crying:I shouted even louder so I lost my voice:eek: When he won he took his black t-shirt off and went through to talk to the coaches about the match. So me and one of my friends sprinted as fast as I could into the authorised area even though we don't have a pass:o We went up to Lin Dan,he asked for a signatlure and asked I for his t-shirt,he just gave it to me!!!:) It was the shirt he actually wore,it was very wet which made it heavy. I was so happy that I couldn't go to bed until half-past two in the morning. I thought it couldn't get better,BUT IT DID!!!

Sunday 22nd,finals day. That morning we saw Lin Dan jogging again as we were going to met up with my friend in Jury's Inn,this time he gave me a five:D When we got inside the arena the MD was just about to start a member of the China team came down and told us that one of the coaches has invited me to go and join them on the players' stand:) and that the coach has a son-13yrs old. When she left we thought 'what just happened':eek: When the MD finished I went up the players' stand with the woman who came down and I sat between Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun!!!:) I found out that Li YongBo invited me :eek:I was shocked. The headcoach of the best badminton country wanted me to sit with him:eek: I chatted with some of the players and coaches,they were all very polite and looked after me as well. When they started the XD we were all cheering for Zhang Jun and Gao Ling. It was so nervous when we were watching them because Robertson/Emms had 8-10serves to win the match in the second game. In the third game Zhang/Gao totally trashed the English pair 15-1,Nathan Robetson's body language was absolutely awful:mad: After the XD we all went behind the stand and played games with our hands:confused: Then we didn't watch the WS because it was China vs China.

After that match it was the MS between Lin Dan and Lee Hyun Il. We were cheering for him every point(especially me:D). When he slipped and twisted his knee we were very worried about him because he couln't move,but when he gave Li YongBo a wave meaning he's alrite we weren't as worried:) After he won we all went down to clap when he comes round doing the lap of honour. Li YongBo told me that Lin Dan is going to gave me the racket his used. I was shocked again!:eek: LYB was so kind and polite to all the players,he is really funny as well. Then he went to the Doping Room where the doctor had a look at his knee,so I went in with the chinese woman holding a bag of ice for Lin Dan. His knee didn't look nice. I could tell that he was in a lot of pain:crying: Then I got told to get out of the Doping Room because children aren't allowed in. Dominic and I had to wait for about ten minutes before he came out gaving me his racket and saying 'Thank You' to me,then I said 'Xie Xie' then Dominic took a picture of us with his racket in my hands:D That night we went to a chinese resturant called Tin Tin and saw the whole China team!:D I went over there and got Chen Hong,Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun to sign pictures I took with them last year. The players sat on two big tables,Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang were sitting with all the coaches on another table. Then when we were going home I went over to say bye and thank you to LYB,Lin Dan and all the players. They all said thank you and gave a fives! :D I can't believe all of this happened in just three days!!! My dream really has come TRUE:)

[Baderz_Jas]

Hi,I was did shout on the finals day but I lost my voice so it was really quiet. I was shouting Lin Dan Jia You meaning come on lin dan

[Baderz_Jas]

Look at the picture and see the bold men in front of me
When I came back to sit there with Lin Dan's racket,he said 'you should have told Lin Dan to sign it so then when you sell it it is authentic' I mean,who would want to sell something that they might not ever get it again:mad:
He was terrible!!:mad:

Hey guys,here's the picture with lin dan's racket
Thanks to Yannie, I can finally resize it with the paintshop!!!:D

[dony_X]

hey baderz, i was looking at the pic of dan's racket and i noticed something. did he remove something fom the grip before putting a towel grip on it?

[cooler]

hey baderz, i was looking at the pic of dan's racket and i noticed something. did he remove something fom the grip before putting a towel grip on it?

i think the photo was self explanatory.

Good u didn't listened to those men.
there is no good place to sign on a badminton racket.
My frens have 2 rackets from halim heryanto signed on the tiny cap butt but the ink rubbed off. Photo #123 is more than enough for authenication.

[dony_X]

ya i know it's self explanatory.:crying: sorry 4 that.:crying: but what i meant to ask is, why would he do that? aside from maybe he doesn't want the grip to get bigger.

[cooler]

ya i know it's self explanatory.:crying: sorry 4 that.:crying: but what i meant to ask is, why would he do that? aside from maybe he doesn't want the grip to get bigger.

grip is a personal thing.
some like it big, small, foam, leather, towel, or combination of them.

if u want to know, my reason why is for accuracy

[dony_X]

for accuracy? how would that affect accuracy? in what way?:confused: im confused.:confused:

[cooler]

for accuracy? how would that affect accuracy? in what way?:confused:
sorry, this is Baderz_Jas dream thread.
u should discuss grip on a grip related thread :p

yeah, you got me there.:) point taken.:p

[hcpoirot]

Barder,

I saw you a couples of time in TV live in final screaming with a western boy all the time wearing an ID in your neck.

The camera did shot you and your friends quite a lot, so at that time I think that you are probably some of Chinese officials or coach kid. What a wrong assumption :D

You really had an awesome three days experience. And also nice pics of you and all the badminton players. :)

[yannie]

Hey guys, you never guess what.
Fu Haifeng send me e-mail saying that he hopes we could keep in touch which means I can go and visit them in the summer!!!:eek:

Wow, Fu is a great guy indeed :) You're so lucky!!! Hope you can visit them...

[Baderz_Jas]

Hey Baderz_Jas,

This is a great story, your so lucky, I went to round 3 of the AE on the Thursday, it was my first time of going to see a professional badminton match, it was awesome!

I can't belive how lucky you are I would have given anything to meet the players (especially Lin Dan.)...AND you got his top and racket...I'm so jelous :crying:.

Would there be any chance you could post the Yonex product code of that Black T Shirt Lin Dan gave you as I want to buy one A.S.A.P, but I don't know if they are available in the UK, do you know of anywhere I could get hold of 1? (I'm asking you as I saw you on TV a few times and you had a cool Yonex top on every time!)

Any help would be greatly appriciated! (And perhaps you could help me to meet the players next year :D lol)

Thanks

Jay

Hi Jay

There isn't any code number on the shirt, its the one Lin Dan wore in semi-final with pink lines. I doubt you can buy this in UK, my mum buy all these Yonex shirts from someone in HK. Will pm you his email address.

I also saw you on TV after LD's epic semi final victory.....He showed such grit n determination in contrast to Robertson in the mixed. as we say "he threw the rattle out the pram"..felt really bad for Emms tho she must have been sick..Loved your pictures, all the players seemed really nice. One question for you...what racquet did LD use in the final.. Your story is one that shows how true champions should behave...giving time to other & encouraging. Our sport needs characters like LD, Gade & the rest of them. I was cheering on Zhang during the mixed final even although I was surrounded by English fans,,,they took it well tho..PS...wash the shirt hang it on the wall & use it as inspiration of what might be.. Final word on LD...he is a true genius but who will follow him as world no 1 that is a big question.

[lindanfan]

hi baderz_jaz,

did you get to meet any english players as well or was it just the chinese team? (i think the chinese team are far superior to the english:crying: )

Hi Dougie,thanks. Lin Dan uses AT700(same as me:D ) Yes Lin Dan and Peter Gade are really nice people. My mum has already washed the shirt and I hanged it in my room. This experience will only make me train harder towards my goals in badminton.

i doubt that few if anyone will ever be as lucky as baderz_jaz. i mean to get given his racket would just be a dream come true on it's own

i think that maybe baderz may play at that level one day anyway, he's already at high u15 standard and he's only 12 (in the u13 england)

and the rest of us as well:p (apart from jonas;) )

[lindanfan]

baderz,

when you go over to visit them in the summer, will you be training with them? this could be such a great chance for you, not only will there be the best coaches and players in the world there to help you but i would think that some yonex people would be dotted around. when i say it could be a great chance i mean you may be able to work out some sort of sponsership deal;)

i think this is what every badminton fan wishes for!!

[Eurasian =--(O)]

how young can you be sponsored at?

[lindanfan]

how young can you be sponsored at?

i know a couple of players who are U14 and are sponsered, i don't think it really matters how old you are but i would think noone in age groups below U13 would be sponsered. it would also help if you give the company a good proposition and are of a good standard. team sponserships could be any age. these contracts normally occur a fee though.

if you play in a national team at AE it you will probably have more than one contract and won't pay a thing for it.

Hey, Baderz_Jas! If u don't mind, tell us a lil' bit more about the other players. Who is the nicest of them all... Who u talked to the most..Did Fu Haifeng translate all the time for u? How was he? And how is Ng Wei?? I'm curious... Hehehe. Just tell us anything that u know, even very small details would be really nice... :)

[hezudao]

cool, this thread is still going and going...:D

[lindanfan]

hi baderz,

have you used his at700 yet or are you just keeping it as a collectible?
if you have used it, i guess the strings are extremely tight;) . is there anything different to his racket than standard at700's?

[Baderz_Jas]

Hi magical phoenix
Everyone in the China team is very friendly and polite, even the coaches.:) I talked to Fu Haifeng the most coz he speaks Cantonese. So do Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen but I didn't see them much. Fu Haifeng translated all the time for me.:D I didn't talk to Ng Wei, only took picture with him at the hotel and then he left. When we were behind the players' stand, I played badminton with LYB's son(forgot his name as well:( ),I used Zhang Jiewen's racket(AT800De). Gao Ling and Chen Hong sat together and chatted for quite a while. That is as much I could remember.

Hi lindanfan
I will never use it! It is very tight, I guess it is 34-36lbs. There's not much different to my AT700s. But on his racket, there's only two knots. Mine have four. Don't know why?:confused:

was LYB's son any good? i would guess that he is quite handy. how did he play compared to you?

Baderz_Jas

he just uses a one piece stringing pattern, yours will be a two piece if it has 4 knots. the recommended yonex pattern is 2 piece (4 knots)

[Baderz_Jas]

was LYB's son any good? i would guess that he is quite handy. how did he play compared to you?

lindanfan, I only had a few rallies with him so I don't really know. But my coach told me that his son is playing for Beijing Province and he has a very powerful smash so I guess he is quite good. Should be better than me.:)

Baderz_Jas

[ynexfan2003]

Hi jermaine,Lin Dan racket's string is BG 65 Titainium

Baderz_Jas

Are you sure? I'm very surprised to learn that Lin Dan uses Yonex BG65 TI.

Other than being very durable, I didn't think this string was as good as, say, BG80/85 for power or control, and certainly the TI coating doesn't help with control since it's quite slippy.

Maybe that's why his netshots are not as good as the rest of his game :p

Thanks Baderz_Jas for the info.. Poor LYB's son, u forget his name :p Wah, Fu Haifeng is very nice... So I guess he's not as quiet as many ppl say? And very nice of him to email u as well.. U're very lucky. Yeah, I think Chinese coaches are as nice as the players. I still remember when Li Yong Bo helped me to take a pic with Zhang Ning. He went down all the way from the players' seats because he saw no one helped me take a pic with Zhang Ning.. I guess it's because ZN is his fave, but, still, I'm touched. Hehehe. Anyway, if you have any more pics, post here ok? Like the one with Fu Haifeng :)

[CanuckBur]

is "jia you" like saying come on in english?

Just like what Baderz_Jas said, "jia you"'s direct translation is "add oil."

My guess is that it came from "step on the gas." Anyone has any idea how the phrase "jia you" came to be? I am curious about its origin.

[BethuneGuy]

We have a burning flame of desire to win, and by adding oil, it burns ever more violently than before.

(I'm just being stupid, dont take taht seriously)

Jermaine, I don't think the racket would brake if he hits it at the right spot. I was suprised too when I found out it was 34-36 lbs.:eek:

Baderz_Jas

[jermaine]

baderz, how did u know the racquet is between 34-36lbs?
i know why they strung it so hard, cause they racquets are all sponsered! haha. and the string breaks super esaily so i think if u use it for 1 week there it goes... that is the maximum lbs it could go man... i wonder whats the feeling like plying with it.. never tried before.

Jermaine, I know that by felling it. Mine are 28 lbs so it's a lot harder than mine.:D I don't know how it fells too when you play with a racket that tight coz I htink I might snap it very easily.:p

Hi..
I heard that you shouted in the television, it was very cool:cool:.
Post some pictures, please....

Locky You!!!!

WW
I am a Chinese supporter-12yrs old,I speak Cantonese and know a tiny little bit of Mandarin. My sister,mum and I went to watch the 2006 All England Open Championship in the NIA.

Friday 20th was our first day,quarter-finals day. I was very excited to watch Lin Dan ,Chen Jin and lots more as I haven't watched live badminton since 2005 AE. When ever any players from China were playing, I was shouting China and Lin Dan Jia You as loud as I could. Chen Jin didn't play very well,he was slower and his smashes weren't as powerful as people said it was. Lin Dan wasn't aggresive enough in the first game against Kenneth Jonassen which was 15-10,but then he smached nearly every point and won the second game 15-3.

Saturday 21st,semi-finals day. My family and I were walking to a hotel see my friend Dominic(the person who gave us the live scores) and we saw Lin Dan jogging on the streets to warm up for his match against Lee Chong Wei. So we went to him and took pictures and I asked him to sign a picture which I took with him last year,then for the first time I saw him smiling:) We got inside the hotel and saw players from most of the countries staying in that hotel. My sister,Dominic and I took pictures with Candra Wijaya,Pi Hongyan,Lee Hyun Il,Widiato Natsir,Peter Gade,Zhang Jun,Wei Yili,Zhang Yawen,Xie Xingfang +lots more:D When they started playing I was shouting for China and Lin Dan really loud again. When Lin Dan was losing in the third game against Lee Chong Wei:crying:I shouted even louder so I lost my voice:eek: When he won he took his black t-shirt off and went through to talk to the coaches about the match. So me and one of my friends sprinted as fast as I could into the authorised area even though we don't have a pass:o We went up to Lin Dan,he asked for a signatlure and asked I for his t-shirt,he just gave it to me!!!:) It was the shirt he actually wore,it was very wet which made it heavy. I was so happy that I couldn't go to bed until half-past two in the morning. I thought it couldn't get better,BUT IT DID!!!

Sunday 22nd,finals day. That morning we saw Lin Dan jogging again as we were going to met up with my friend in Jury's Inn,this time he gave me a five:D When we got inside the arena the MD was just about to start a member of the China team came down and told us that one of the coaches has invited me to go and join them on the players' stand:) and that the coach has a son-13yrs old. When she left we thought 'what just happened':eek: When the MD finished I went up the players' stand with the woman who came down and I sat between Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun!!!:) I found out that Li YongBo invited me :eek:I was shocked. The headcoach of the best badminton country wanted me to sit with him:eek: I chatted with some of the players and coaches,they were all very polite and looked after me as well. When they started the XD we were all cheering for Zhang Jun and Gao Ling. It was so nervous when we were watching them because Robertson/Emms had 8-10serves to win the match in the second game. In the third game Zhang/Gao totally trashed the English pair 15-1,Nathan Robetson's body language was absolutely awful:mad: After the XD we all went behind the stand and played games with our hands:confused: Then we didn't watch the WS because it was China vs China.

After that match it was the MS between Lin Dan and Lee Hyun Il. We were cheering for him every point(especially me:D). When he slipped and twisted his knee we were very worried about him because he couln't move,but when he gave Li YongBo a wave meaning he's alrite we weren't as worried:) After he won we all went down to clap when he comes round doing the lap of honour. Li YongBo told me that Lin Dan is going to gave me the racket his used. I was shocked again!:eek: LYB was so kind and polite to all the players,he is really funny as well. Then he went to the Doping Room where the doctor had a look at his knee,so I went in with the chinese woman holding a bag of ice for Lin Dan. His knee didn't look nice. I could tell that he was in a lot of pain:crying: Then I got told to get out of the Doping Room because children aren't allowed in. Dominic and I had to wait for about ten minutes before he came out gaving me his racket and saying 'Thank You' to me,then I said 'Xie Xie' then Dominic took a picture of us with his racket in my hands:D That night we went to a chinese resturant called Tin Tin and saw the whole China team!:D I went over there and got Chen Hong,Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun to sign pictures I took with them last year. The players sat on two big tables,Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang were sitting with all the coaches on another table. Then when we were going home I went over to say bye and thank you to LYB,Lin Dan and all the players. They all said thank you and gave a fives! :D I can't believe all of this happened in just three days!!! My dream really has come TRUE:)

[lindanfan]

No problem:p

I'm 147cm, I have no problem with the tension, I used AT800 OF with 24lbs before but I seem to have more power with AT700 28lbs. Of course it takes about a week to get use to it. (I train 4/5 times a week):D

This has got to be the most amazing badminton story ever. You have been blessed :D . I hope to see some of the players here in May during the Philippines Open. I'd die if can get XXF wrist band. :o

Hi Seonadancing, I really look forwarding to seeing Lin Dan and the Chinese players again. I may go and watch the Macau Open and the Denmark Open if they play.:D :p

Hi, where did you download the match? I really want to see some badminton matches since in US they don't really have them on TV.

Thanks


I just downloaded the match between Xie/Zhang and Robertson/Emms and watching it now, hehe :D...I think I heard you shouting "Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You! Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You!"

It sounded clear, loud, boyish, and rather hoarse. even the commentator mentioned about you, saying the boy who shouted "Lin Dan, jia you!" is now shouting "Zhong Guo Dui, Jia You!":)

so adorable...

We use P2P softwares such as eMule, BitTorrent (BT) to download all those matches. BT has faster dowloading rate but shorter downloading period, which means you couldn't get 1kb from it after it grew un-popular which often takes within a month after the release of the seed(downloading address). I use eMule, caus no matter how long it takes, it always going to be finished. It took me 2 weeks to download about 6 matches, including new and old. Chinese Master 2006 - Olympic 1996. So hope you enjoy it! =P
