Yeah, but its easier to lose to a good friend than a stranger or at least it doesn't hurt that much. At the very most, Chen Jin simply buys less Armani Exchange or D&G junk, no big harm. :D :p

EastDevil, i've noticed that you always mentioned about Armani or D&G junk. what isit about ?

On regarding Chen Jin sportmanship.. Its Chen Yu. If it's LinDan.. it will be a different story.

U got a point here. Never saw LD hug his opponent after losing a match :rolleyes:.
LCW, PG and even Taufik did it, not LD :p

Oh, from the blog of Lin Dan's friend, there's always pictures of Lin Dan/chen Jin always shopping for those few brands everywhere they go. :D They simply are crazy about these 2 brands.

To be fair to Lin Dan, he might not be the hugging type especially the alpha-male kind of character types like Lin Dan. When was the last time you hug another man? :D :D

Probably its just a coincident that the picture was taken while they were shopping.

Were there ever any player who was very unhappy or unsportsmanlike when he/she lost to their friend/teammate? Anybody remember such an incident?

Let's don't take away credits from CJ for his good sportsmanship, be the fact he's a good friend with CY or not. We build our manner from normal life, which means, build among the ppl who see you, work with you or live with you everyday, right? It's not like you get a good/bad manner from no where, and suddenly show it after a tourny. ;)

Chen Jin has got it all worked out. He unsettled guys like Hafiz and then Chen Yu with his clever movement of the shuttlecock. If he keeps this up, I predict he will be next World Champion.

When I saw him a couple of months back, he not able to protect the shuttle. It seems like he has that covered now. Good on him. LCW has now someone to reckon with besides Lin Dan and Chen Yu.

What I saw was clearly a case of moving the shuttle fast all over the court to unruffle your opponent. Hafiz got tired by this and when he did, he tried trick shots, which failed miserably the other day. Chen Yu also plays the same way. Expect this style of game to win.

Chen Jin already holds a 6 star and a 4 star titles. Whie Chen Yu has nothing.

Chen Jin will be ranked at number 4 no matter he win or loss, while the win will improve Chen Yu's ranking by 2.

So Chen Yu must have been more hungy and eager to grab this ThaiOpen, and Chen Jin full understood it, so his sportsmanship is really a true blessing from the bottom of his heart.

So are you suggesting Chen Jin doping :confused: :confused: :confused:

I heard Chen left his parent very young, and raised by a parents' friend who brought him into badminton.

I think Chen Jin trains too much. He definately look older than his age. Or maybe its a sign of maturity.

yannie

Faint... or maybe it is just the way he looks... he doesn't train more than the other Chinese players as he is not a junior player anymore.

He came to Jiangsu very young, where the Jin family raised him and brought him into badminton. Chen Pengfei took the name Chen Jin after this.

Chen Jin actually looks quite young when you see him in real life. I saw him before.. He looks young and also a polite person. ;)

not sure whether it was really him but my friend claims so.. anyways.. i was a msia open. there was this tall guy in normal casual clothes standing there holdin some other clothes. my friend said that he was chen jin and asked me to go ask for an autograph from him. so i went up and asked then he answered back in a very chinese accent, "i'm a worker here"... was i tricked?? has anybody fallen for the same trick?? haha

chen jin for me is the raphael nadal of badminton. like nadal, there is no point in the rally in which he even considers giving up. he is a tremendous effort player, even when he was 10 points up against hafiz he never showed signs of loosening his grip on the match.

That is because Lin Dan is a total head case. He's not as good as he thinks he is, not as technically sound as he thinks he is, not as great at the net as he thinks he is, not as great a smasher as he thinks he is. He's just fast and knows it. I don't know if he has a mental coach telling him that he is the best to ever play the game but he isn't and he should go into each match knowing that he could loose. He's been like this for a long time tho. He played against Peter Gade when he was 17 in the All England in the second round and even back then, 4 or 5 years ago he thought he was better than the worlds best players. He didn't even shake hands with PG. He has no respect for anyone and is loosing fans because of it. It looks bad for team China. Its a pity that such talent has to be marred by a bad attitude and ignorance.
