Taufik Hidayat Targetkan Gelar di Kejuaraan Dunia Bulutangkis Demi Sang Putri
Jakarta - Karena sang putri yang baru lahir Natarina Alika Hidayat, Taufik Hidayat urung pensiun dari bulutangkis. Bahkan, dia menginginkan medali emas Kejuaraan Dunia 2007 di Kuala Lumpur, 10-19 Agustus, buat putrinya itu. Si kecil Alika lahir dari rahim Amy Dianti Gumelar, istri Taufik, Jumat (3/8). Karena Alika, Taufik berubah. Termasuk rencananya untuk pensiun. Bahkan, Taufik masih ingin bermain beberapa tahun lagi. Itu agar sang putri masih bisa melihat aksinya di lapangan. Berarti, “Kehadiran putri saya juga memberi motivasi lebih di Kejuaraan Dunia nanti. Saya jadi sangat termotivasi untuk menyumbang emas lagi,” ujar Taufik, peraih emas Kejauraan Dunia 2005 itu. Apalagi, Ketua Umum PB PBSI yang juga Presiden Konfederasi Bulutangkis Asia (ABC) Sutiyoso berjanji menonton aksi para pemain Indonesia yang masuk final. Juga janjinya untuk memberikan bonus uang kepada sang juara. Indonesia sendiri men-targetkan bisa merebut 3 gekar juara di kejuaraan ini.

Here is the translation :

Taufik Hidayat has set his target to win the world championships title for his daughter.

Jakarta - Taufik Hidayat change his mind for not retiring so soon from badminton because of his new-born daughter, Natarina Alika Hidayat. He wants the gold medal of the coming world championships which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, 10-19 August 2007 for his daughter.
He changes his mind because of his daughter, Alika. He still wants to play for some more years, so that his daughter can see him playing.

Taufik said : "The born of my daughter gives me more motivation for the world championships. I am more motivated to win the gold medal again."

The chairman of PBSI, Mr Sutiyoso, has promised to see all Indonesian players who enter the final and also to give bonus (in this case money) for the winner. Indonesia itself has set the target to win 3 titles in this championships.


I hope my translation can help you.

[C L BAO]

Hope it's true. I dont want Taufik to leave so soon. He really is a good player.

[emmsfan]

Oh goody!!! Does anyone know how long he will delay his retirement??
At least he's not pulling a 'Chen Hong' (retiring and coming back a few months later) His daughter will definitely be proud!!

[OneToughBirdie]

Good to hear TH plan to play for a while...even though his skills is diminishing with age or other players are catching up to him, he is still a big draw card...no denying anytime there is a TH-LD-LCW matchup would draw big crowd...WC07 as I read from the internet was supposedly a sold-out event, and why not, MAS being a hotbed of baddy fans...but with both LCW and TH exit early before the QF, I noticed there was empty seats in the stadium.

i would say 80% of the seats are taken.

Thanks for the translation good buddy but Taufik just did the opposite (again) in the WC and brought a lot of disappointments to his fans including me. :(

TH is like like Serena in tennis ...you will not know which side of TH will show up....the good or the bad...:D:D as Krisna reported that TH cheated his age so basically he is 27 yrs, not 25 yrs.....so he may play another 2 or 3 yrs if he wants.

Also TH has a good life already....I suspect his motivation is less now than before..except he wants to have AE in his belt...Best luck to TH...:D:D

TH is real 25 Yo... :p

he cheated his age in order to be able to play in senior group :D

[Krisna]

Hahaha, that's funny, taufik-ist...

Taufik is actually 23, he claimed he was two year older when he was a teenager... ...so he could get his driving license earlier and then he can go to bars and drink alcohol all over the world without being restricted. :D :D :D

so how old is TH, really? I am confused now...:confused::confused:

[taufik-ist]

me 2... krisna is inconsistent to tell about TH's real age :p :p

A lot of people believe he is actually 27... :) That's the general concensus among the INA badminton club-community. But it is too late to do forensic tests on him now. :p I certainly have never done any tests or investigations on TH's real age [I have stated this in another thread when I made the claim]...:p And most of us don't really care anymore...

Forensic tests can be a good tool do determine who is older or younger than 18. The tests are even more accurate on younger people. In daily life, it is easier for us to determine who among 2 people is age 4 and age 6... ;) but it gets harder to distinguish between two grown ups... who is actually 24 and who is 26... :confused:

I was joking about the "Taufik is 23 story"... Because taufik-ist has a great sense of humor, I played along.

we can chek it out in his report book of elementary school (rapor).. we may be able to find a real TH's age there :D :rolleyes: :p

[Krisna]

Good luck doing that... :o I have experienced several very thorough effort [by the parents of the kids] to 'create' a fake elementary report book that replaced the original report book. The real original was never recorded in INA school's great & world-class admin system, of course...:o

Another case happened where the kid really went to school and got the grade there, but he already cheated on his age when he started school... So he was actually 10 but claimed that he was 7 [which is the normal starting age for most elementary school students]... :o His birth certificate confirm that he was 7, of course. In INA, the birth certificate can be created at any time after birth, remember... :D :rolleyes:

You know how easy it is to get an ID card, right? I am sure you can execute your plan well... ;) But then I would not be able to recognize you, hau-ge? :confused:

I don't know how my parents did it, but I started my 1st elementary school class when I was 4.85 years old... :confused: Somehow they let me in. And somehow I am using my official [and real] age all the way to my Grad-school... :confused: Until the end of my highschool in INA, I was 2 years younger than most of my classmates...

[huangkwokhau]

Hm..so both of you had cheated.....hehe...I wish my parents did that to me.....hehe

[huangkwokhau]

or hack your bank account :D :D ... ooops just kidding :p
:D:D...:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Krisna]

I did not cheat. I was really officially 4.85 years old [my real age] when I entered 1st grade. :p Yup, 4 years old and 10 months. After 2 months, I became 5 years old. Everybody else was 6 or 7. Mostly 7. :)

I think in 1977, they were not that strict in enforcing the age requirement. Maybe 6 was only a suggested age... :confused:

:D:D did your parents do somethings special to get you in??:D:D;);)

[Krisna]

:D:D did your parents do somethings special to get you in??:D:D;);)

I just asked my parents... they said to the school management that: Krisna will go to overseas universities. And in the USA, people finish highschool around 17 years old. In Singapore: 16 years old. So he has to graduate highschool from Indonesia at 17 too. :) I did just that.
