Badminton Reality TV...

[kwun]

from theStar:

Coming in TV9 in Malaysia:

Jaguh: A reality programme about a nationwide search for the best badminton players. There will be a series of tournaments in each state in Peninsular Malaysia to identify sports talents who will then be trained by ex-Malaysian badminton player Rashid Sidek. The finalists get to play against the National Badminton team to determine who the best player is.

[Eurasian =--(O)]

Hmm....I've heard a while a go that TPI in Indonesia had similar program...

this one should be really cool if it's download able. I assume it's gonna be in bahasa melayu.

This is interesting but Rashid Sidek?? Hmmm......

Sorry, I don't know much about the Sidek brothers but is there something wrong?

I know they were good players and coaches (isn't the illegal S serve named after him?) but is there some reason he wouldn't be right for the program?

racial survivor? what kind of redneck programs do you get up in Canada!!:D

Seriously though, this sounds interesting. There is an equivalent programme in the UK about football and last year the winner of the competition won the prize of a contract with Chelsea football club

TV9?? I guess only certain areas in Malaysia will be able to get that channel.

[Dreamzz]

yeah, hopefully someone will be able to record this for us ...

[ants]

Only in Malaysia. Unfortunately it may not be aired in other countries. Spore and Thailand might get some signals.

[maa2003]

Indonesia has one named "Smash" ....... with the host Olympic Champion and World Champion Ricky Subagja ..... sponsor by Astec (Alan-Susi Technology, a very own brand of Olympic champion pair) .....

I just watched it once when I returned home ........ IIRC, they use 30 rally points, with every pair/player serve 5 consecutive times .....
