Just not long ago, Gade lost to Chen Yu at his home convincingly in the prestige Denmark Open; how come now Gade, still undergoing suffering of his severe illness, blow away Chen Yu so easy?

The mystery illness could be the turning point for Gade, like Lance Armstrong dominating after becoming the cancer guy.

The new look of Peter Gade may confirm this thought:

http://www.sinchew-i.com/images/photo/2007/01/19/0170b.jpg

He looks much different now, a very muscular guy now.

Gade must find a new way to enhance his performance during the treatment. I will not be surprised that he will dominate in the next several months or even years, like what Armstrong did.

What happened to his hair????:eek: Another KJ look alike.....:D
Wonder who will win....Gade or KJ? Maybe flip a coin and conserve energy for the final. The winner can take the other out for a nice dinner......:D

I meant to say "Gade must have found the way to enhance his performance during his treatment". There will be no doubt for Gade's win.

Nah, the Danes usually fight til one emerge as the winner; hopefully Peter Gade will be the one who does.

I don't know how good his condition is but I think it's a good chance for him to grab this title since 3 of the very best are out! All he has to do is advance to the final by beating his compatriots Kenneth Jonassen and beat either Chen Hong or Bao Chunlai.

I agree that Peter Gade has an excellent chance of winning this MO title, but it ain't as easy as you say it is.:cool:

Let me ask you this, whom are the "3 of the very best" are you referring to? Lin Dan, Taufik, and whom?? LCW, but didn't he lose to someone better named BCL? so another word, there is still someone better than the so-called 3 of the very best in the mix of the semi-final.

Plus, how can you call LCW one of the 3 very best consider his result last year, won a few 4* touranments, then having lost to numerous players throughout the year, plus early exits in 2 tournaments???:confused:

Nah, the Danes usually fight til one emerge as the winner.

well, who usually don't?

If we do some reality check, all head to head records between PG and KJ are purely one side. Danes are smart enough to protect mutual interests.

While Malaysian and Chinese fight more aggressively with each other. The reason could be the competition inside team to fight to represent their country. For Danes, there is no such problem.

What happened to his hair????:eek:

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Anything to do with his treatment? or performance enhancing process :confused: :confused: :confused:

Perhaps without any hair, it'll make him much lighter and faster~ :p

2cents i couldnt disagree more with you than about what you saying about the danes. Only country we have seen "fix" the matches were the chinese shuttlers some years ago. I stopped playing badminton, but in my former badminton club a former chinese national player Luo told me how China used to fix the matches, he once got told by a chinese coach to loose the semi finals in the junior WC semi final after beating Gade in the quarter cause he should meet Chen Gang who had to be fresh for the final.

Only reason why Gade wins against Jonassen is cause he is slight better and then the big factor the mental aspect. But several matches have been close and some 3 setters so that explains itself that no matches are fixed between them. However its nice to see that the chinese have putted the match fixing away and started to play as real sportsmen, thats what the sport need to promote itself.

[quote=Viper2005]What happened to his hair????:eek: Another KJ look alike.....:D
I read somewhere Peter had wanted that haircut for a long time, but his wife just wouldn't let him do it. She changed her mind when she saw the Prison break guy...

The new look of Peter Gade may confirm this thought:

http://www.sinchew-i.com/images/photo/2007/01/19/0170b.jpg

He looks much different now, a very muscular guy now. I disagree with that statement haha.... his build is exactly the same... the only changes is his hair... he always wanted that hair but the wife wont let him.. after watching the guy from prison break, she allowed him to do so.... according to his website hehe:D

i dont think you can compare cancer to a regular flu bug...

well, who usually don't?

Actually I think Peter Gade and Kenneth Jonassen usually meet in the final round of the Copanhagen Masters and European Masters. The only other tournaments where they met each other were the final of the 2005 Korean Open and 2006 Philippines Open.

Copanhagen Masters do not account for points as it is only an invitational to a friendly tournament so I don't understand why it would make any sense for the Danes to "fix" their own invitational tournament. As for the other tournaments, they rarely ever met in the earlier rounds, mostly in the final in which it doesn't make sense for them to "fix" matches either. Denmark and other countries are not like China which is the only country that has enough great men's singles players that it is possible to run into their own countrymen in the earlier rounds.

I have to agree with Morten here that it wasn't match fixing that Peter Gade always beat Kenneth Jonassen but instead it was his skills and game play that was one step higher than Jonassen's. Look at the Korean's retired pairs, KDM/HTK and LDS/YYS, the latter pair never prevail against their compatriots but they always played their best. Their effort were greatly demonstrated in the 2004 Athens Olympics final and 1999 World Championships final or maybe it was during an All England final.

Hi Morten and Virusvoodoo, It's not my intent to discuss who fixing the match. The only words I mentioned to reply Virusvoodoo original suggestion were that Malaysia and China players fight more aggressively with teammates. There is no proof to charge any body now fixing the match. But however, we can see tomorrow's two semi-finals, to see which one using more minutes and more rally points.

The original intent of this thread was to find out why Peter Gade suddenly becomes so strong during his severe illness. Thanks

I disagree with that statement haha.... his build is exactly the same... the only changes is his hair... he always wanted that hair but the wife wont let him.. after watching the guy from prison break, she allowed him to do so.... according to his website hehe:D

IS it true that his wife allowed him to cut his hair after watching prison break??Haha..:) which website got say this?..I went to www.petergade,net (http://www.petergade,net) but coundn't find this news le....:)

One way to beat Gade is to get rid of his sidekick early which is jonassen. So far no one can do the job. jonassen has never beat gade yeah sure gade is plain good. i certainly don't think he can beat gade again. Sure gade has a higher chance of beat bcl. Good strategy ditto.
Like a few years back, after jonas/paaske won wc and both eriksen/ martin and the latter went in the final of japan open. Yes eriksen/ martin won and the rest is history.
Morten please don't say anything else about no team orders:p

I dont really know what you are trying to say, but calling Kenneth Gades sidekick is just plain rude....

About how Peter suddenly got that strong. Well hes always been that, actually been in top 3 from 1997-2007 if you look on pure skills. Poul Erik Höyer old team mate of him said Peter Gade is a perfectionist and want things to be 100%, so if things dont go as he wants it to go in a match, for example hes shots arent accurate enough he tends to break down mentally which has been seen some times the last decade, for example at the AE semifinal against Lee this year. Of course Peter was ill and weak, but it was a short illness not a longer period and i guess thats basicly why he can regain form/strengh that fast. But we did see he struggled against Pang and had a set point against him, a player whom he normally beats easy.

Maybe youre right Virus that the Chinese now are fighting more against each other due to the competition to be chosen for those tournaments than any others, I agree on that with you :o . Its good to see that the chinese at last putted that match fixing away and those WO.

To Tommy, what do you base those facts on. Do you actually know anyone who can confirm this or is it only from your own point of wiev. Cause i can tell you that it aint true. Head coach from Denmark was once asked few years ago what he did think about fixing matches like China did and he said it was disgusting and ruined the sport. In Denmark theres always been one issue and that is "may the best person win" :o

I must say that the 21-pts system does give the older players a new lease of life. Chen Hong, Wong Choon Han, Gade/Jonassen duo, they are still playing at top potential and challenging the young guns.

Then again, Danish players do last a lot longer than most others, must be a tradition going on here .... so what's the secret?

I dunno, but when I just recovered from a flu, I seem to play better

6 or 7 years ago, when Bao CL first turned pro, he continuously beat Peter Gade many times without losing any. Peter Gade was on his peak form that time.

But now, Peter Gade is too much for Bao CL to handle. So if we keep saying Bao is becoming better, then Gade must become better much faster!

yeah......Peter Gade play real well in this match ...with BCL /

I think the NSS favours players with all round skills, better concentration and focus more.

i think he got a break due to his illness and now he is all back with a bang....i hope he moves higher....go brother

Gade and Bao first met in AE 2003, few months after Peter returned from a 1 year long injury. That year he lost twice to BCL. Its important to remember that both players were not as good in 2003 as they are now, BCL are much more consisten these days and Gade has regained his form after being injured in 2001. If you look in history books youll notice that Gade actually won Malaysia Open in 1998 and now in 2007 thats 9 years between the two titles:eek:

I think Peter Gade is going to win 08 Olympics and retire.

Really no reason to even think about the "match fixing" of Danish player until one of them allow "walk" citing injury. Kenneth may not have won many big titles but he's certainly a professional player with high dignity that I come to respect!


Actually I think Peter Gade and Kenneth Jonassen usually meet in the final round of the Copanhagen Masters and European Masters. The only other tournaments where they met each other were the final of the 2005 Korean Open and 2006 Philippines Open.

I think Peter Gade is going to win 08 Olympics and retire.

That's a bit too far ahead. Peter is probably just hoping to be in his top form and play at his peak during this year's World Championships. After that we start predicting about the '08 Bejing Olympics.

Anyway, like yourself I wish him the best of luck in the upcoming tournaments, especially the '07 WC and '08 Olympics as he is a very hard worker and tough fighter with a great attitude.

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Anything to do with his treatment? or performance enhancing process :confused: :confused: :confused:

whats so f-ing hard to understand about a hair-cut??? Which he did long before his illness btw...

/Twobeer

I meant to say "Gade must have found the way to enhance his performance during his treatment". There will be no doubt for Gade's win.

Personally I think given that both Bao and Gade playes to their best abilities Gade will win most of the time.. He is simply a better badminton player (my opinion of course).

Personally I think Chen Hong has the highest "peak"-level (for one game) of the Cineese players.. Lin Dan is super-fit and best allround.. Chen Jin is quick as lightning.. but Bao.. is well.. a bit "colorless"...

Sorry to offend all Bao fans out there.. Because he is truly one of the worlds greatest players.. but still.. I cant help to find his game a bit boring (relative to his peers)..

/Twobeer

I agree that Peter Gade has an excellent chance of winning this MO title, but it ain't as easy as you say it is.:cool:

Let me ask you this, whom are the "3 of the very best" are you referring to? Lin Dan, Taufik, and whom?? LCW, but didn't he lose to someone better named BCL? so another word, there is still someone better than the so-called 3 of the very best in the mix of the semi-final.

Plus, how can you call LCW one of the 3 very best consider his result last year, won a few 4* touranments, then having lost to numerous players throughout the year, plus early exits in 2 tournaments???:confused:

He is not wrong. '3 of the very best' implies in the 'very best' category, there are at least 3, maybe 5, maybe 8..., who, on any day, on neutral ground, can defeat one another, and display superior skills. You read it as '3 very best' which means 'the top 3' so the problem lies with your interpretation.Check with your English Language teacher.

Did anyone notice that as many times as BAO served high to the back, Peter would smash in return ?

Without a doubt, I think this is the way to play. It is sending a message to BAO that Peter would not tolerate disrespect. If Bao dares to serve high, he would dare to smash every ball. I like this coz I think it shows Peter has the confidence to smash every ball if he wants to.

Peter’s mental strength amazes Danish coach


DANISH coach Thomas Stuer-Lauridsen is in awe over Peter Gade-Christensen's sensational Malaysian Open victory.

“Peter showed that he was mentally very strong for the competition despite the tough circumstances that he had to overcome. That is the special thing about him,” said Stuer-Lauridesen.

In fact, Stuer Lauridsen said that the outstanding win had brought back the confidence in Gade-Christensen, whose career almost came when he was bogged down by nagging knee injuries in 2000 and 2001.

“Peter now knows that he has a chance out there. He came close to having to sit out the tournament but now, he has achieved one of his best wins. And the crowd just loved his attacking game,” said Stuer-Lauridsen.

“His work ethics is excellent and he puts in so much effort in badminton. He also takes care of his body.
“Players like him makes the job of the coaches like me easier. I am very thrilled over his achievement today.”

The answer is simple. Malaysians love PG. First he was forced to give his body 2 days of complete rest.Also, maybe the Malaysian medical care was first class for him. But , most of all, the crowd was 200% behind him, unleashing the energy that is latent in him. On top of that, no one expected him to go far, so he has no negative stress toxins to deplete his strength and all his energy is converted positively. It's not how much total energy that counts but positive conversion level that matters.
As for PG vs KJ, I saw the SO06 MSF between them. KJ never had a chance. PG practically destroyed KJ with his attacking play, quick and straight. In MO07 SF, PG was playing to see if he can conserve energy by not attacking (which is very energy-consuming) in the second because he was confident of taking the third.
In the MSF, he dared not attack BCL all out in the second because if he could not close in two , he may lose the third. He play the second in such a way that he still has the energy for attacking play in the third. Tall players like BCL and KJ seem esp. vulnerable to attacking play.

I hope this Peter, Kenneth, and their coach Thomas Laudisen proved in this tournament that Denmark "match-fixing" is NOT TRUE to those who may believe that it was true. I mean Denmark should have been smart and give either Peter or Kenneth rest with a walkover but they ended up playing three hard-fought sets against each other for a spot in the final even when one of them was hospitalized a few days earlier.

As for China, we don't know for sure but I must agree that they do have give a lot of walkovers to their teammates but players/coaches *ahem LYB ahem* should learn a thing or two from Danish players/coaches especially when it comes to sportmanships.

Man, I'm so jealous; that one guy in the audience caught Peter's AT-700 after he tossed it into the crowd.

And where are the fact now?:eek: :eek: :eek: Please support your statement:eek:

Given Taufik and Lin Dan both lost in the early rounds, Peter Gade emerged as the final winner. It's not lucky though. I must say that the young aces LCW, Bao C L, Chen Jin and LHY still have a lot to learn from Peter Gade. For LCW, once again he was devastated by his weak mentality and rendered the title to the Dane. If he had Gade's excellent mentality, I believe he would qualify as "3 of the very best".

Kendrick Lee is the best of the best:cool:

Kendrick Lee is the best of the best:cool:

And where are the fact now?:eek: :eek: :eek: Please support your statement:eek:

I don't know but doesn't it seem obvious if Chen Hong does play in the Korean Open after having claim that he was injured yesterday and couldn't play Bao Chunlai.

Like I said before, unless Chen Hong is Wolverine and has recovered 100% then I think it really does say something about LYB and his dirty strategy.


On the other hand if you look at the Danes in this tournament you'll see that they fight til the end even if one of them is injured. Danish coach, Thomas Laurdisen, should have asked Kenneth to let Peter get a walkover so that he can be fresh for his match in the final against Bao Chunlai especially when he was hospitalized several days ago vice versa. But they went on to play and pushed each other to three hard-fought sets. I said it before and I'll say it again: What great sportsmanships and professionalism they have!

Very well said about the Danish team professionalism.

I think Peter Gade is going to win 08 Olympics and retire.
Based on skill, any of the top 5 players can win....a lot depends on the draw and how many players from one country are allowed to play in Oly. If OG08 is similar to AG08, which limits 2 players from one country, then China may not have a big advantage, and would open affair. But if OG08 allows up to 4 players from one country like WC, then any one player from CHN has a huge advantage to win, especially with LYB game fixing strategy and playing at home.

I hope this Peter, Kenneth, and their coach Thomas Laudisen proved in this tournament that Denmark "match-fixing" is NOT TRUE to those who may believe that it was true.

As Han said, KJ is an honest player and respected for fair play and sportsmanship. LYB will never play fair cos it is all about winning at all cost, to secure his job and increase his bonus. CHN player only play all out against each other like some fella said in earlier threads, but only in early rounds...but when it comes to SF, LYB will fix the game to allow one player to rest and pick the better one to play their opponent in the MSF.

Did anyone notice that as many times as BAO served high to the back, Peter would smash in return ?

Without a doubt, I think this is the way to play. It is sending a message to BAO that Peter would not tolerate disrespect. If Bao dares to serve high, he would dare to smash every ball. I like this coz I think it shows Peter has the confidence to smash every ball if he wants to.
It's not disrespect from Bao... It's actually Bao sending a message to Peter that Peter's short serve returns are too unpredictable and Bao doesn't want to deal with it any more, and rather be prepared for a smash or drop shot instead. The long services also drained Gade's energy in the first game which Bao seemed to know that if he didn't make a change in style, he would have lost it anyways. Bao was looking further than the result of the first game, and thinking about how to win the rest.

Back in China Master 2006, LYB in the commentary with CCTV(I think) mentioned that Peter Gade has the best short service return in MS during the match between Gade and Lin Dan. LYB even praise LD for being smart to serve long instead of short serves, which Gade just returned those short serves with variety that put pressure on LD.

Thanks for the info. It is a shame it did not work for BAO --- Peter has all the shots from smashes to drop shots. There is a lot to learn from this match between the two --- the contrast to LCW and BAO's match, where BAO was containing LCW.

Bao is getting better and better. He gained the confidence that he can beat the best players and win tournaments, which we saw during 2006 where he beated both LD and LCW, so i think we will witness a golden era for the chinese and with his great technique and kinda soft style its gonna be a joy watching his matches.

Tommy try to read the post once again. I said that one of the former chinese national players actually said himself that China used to fix matches and that he had witnessed it being used in matches where he was playing himself. He said something about winners being chosen before a match or a player winning the 1st set gets the match. So its not something made up by me and why would a chinese former national player be telling lies about his countrymen?? End of discussion :)

To get back to Gade he may have sacrifised a lot cause i could read in the danish newspaper that he had been under nursing the last 2 days by the danish crew but was unable to recover a muscle pain he had gotten during the Malaysia Open. So to not make things worse Gade withdraw from Korea Open and went back to Denmark to recover fully and prepare for AE. I predict LD will execute his opponents and not give anyone a single chance, he must be hungry after his surprising defeat in MO ;)

Peter Gade is one of the all time great and has proven that with his win in Malaysia. He has a great attitude and always beats players with his head (well actually his racket but you know what I mean). He's 30 now and his age alone inspires other 30 year olds to continue going hard. Well done Peter and don't forget to come to Australia and train some of us in Badminton, we need the help, lol.

Oh so an ex-chinese player told you:eek: The bummer next door told me the story about the danish badminton:) Can you kindly verify his identity on the forum? Or else don't make allegation for your own sake:)

IS it true that his wife allowed him to cut his hair after watching prison break??Haha..:) which website got say this?..I went to www.petergade,net (http://www.petergade,net) but coundn't find this news le....:) lol sorry for the mistake.. it wasn't from his website...

There you will find regarding his recent hairstyle... cheers :)

i doubt that gade will dominate the next couple of years as there will be plenty of ppl that will hav much higher fitness levels than him which they will take advantage of. However it is true that danish players tend to stay a lot longer then others like jens eriksen and martin lundgaard!
gd luk to the future for him!

sometimes badminton is not all about fitness...
there is something that can only be obtained through time.. they are skills and experience.. and it can definatly compensate for fitness;)
