Rischa Meissiani is one of INA's top shuttlers in the GS Under-16 category. I expect her to be one of INA's representatives... :D She's quite cute... Rischa is from Manado, like the recently crowned XD World Champion, Lily Natsir...

Any news regarding the MAS contingent? They are participating right?

INA's team

Evert Sukamta
Vidar Nurria Tamat
Rinov Dale Rahardjo

Ayu Pratiwi
Gebby Ristiyani Himawan
Elizabeth Purwaningtyas
Rischa Meisiani

Ivandi Danang Pradita/Ricky Karandasuwardi

Aulia Putri Darajat/Della Destiara Haris
Ayu Pratiwi/Gebby Ristiyani Himawan
Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah/Suci Rizki Andini

Rangga Yave Rianto/Aulia Putri Darajat
Ricky Karandasuwardi/Della Destiara Haris
Ivandi Danang Pradita/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah
Evert Sukamta/Suci Rizki Andini

The girl's squad is as predicted
The Boy's single, I knew only Evert Sukamta, looked like PBSI has problem in selection of boy's squad

I agree that Evert Sukamta is argueably the best Under-16 INA BS now. So he deserves it. I see Rischa, Gebby, and Ayu are in. That's fair enough. They were either in the Winners or the Runner Ups of so many Under 16 Circuits this year. I keep seeing their 3 names again and again. I am not very aware of Elizabeth... maybe you know better, Sandy...

Suci, Tiara, Della, and Aulia are also pretty well known...

Suci, Tiara, Della, and Aulia are also pretty well known...

Some well known players weren't in squad are
Rena Suwarno (Jaya Raya) and Riyanto Subagja (Djarum)

I did't see Elizabeth's play yet, but she won in Bandung Circuit, her club is Mutiara Bandung, looked like a boy, I thaught she came from Maluku but her last name "PURWANINGTYAS" is Javanese name.

Quarter Final

Girls Team
Indonesia 2-0 Vietnam
Korea 2-0 Sri Lanka
Thailand 2-0 Malaysia
China 2-0 Hong Kong

Semi Final
Indonesia vs Korea
Thailand vs China

Ah yes, Rena and Riyanto... I don't know what happened. I guess PBSI didn't see them as 'potential' enough. :p

What? Elizabeth is the short boyish looking girl from Maluku?!? She is very very very short...! :eek: :eek: PBSI picked her? She's 145cm or something? Surely shorter than the net... :o :o :o

I admit Elizabeth played 'pretty' badminton. ;) Lots of trick shots that remind us fans of her club seniors -Iie Sumirat and Taufik Hidayat. But once she has to play against a very tall opponent like that Djarum girl [what's her name? The 175cm-something girl...?] who defeated her in the Jakarta Circuit... she was just outmanouvered... Her tall opponent was not as 'tricky' as Elizabeth and just played a plain game, yet Elizabeth could not cover the court anymore. Just outsized... :p

Thanks for the info guys.Keep updating.

Quarter Final

Girls Team
Indonesia 2-0 Vietnam
Korea 2-0 Sri Lanka
Thailand 2-0 Malaysia
China 2-0 Hong Kong

Semi Final
Indonesia vs Korea
Thailand vs China

Uh oh... Korea? :eek: Then I suppose I can expect around a 45% chance of INA making it to the finals against China in the Girl's team... :p

Boy's Team I think we have a 60%-70% chance of winning against Thailand... I am predicting like this based on past performance of our Juniors and Seniors... :p

Boy's Team
Thailand vs. Indonesia 2-0 :o
China vs. Malaysia 2-0

[U]Girl's Team
Korea vs. Indonesia 2-0 :p [well... not too surprising]
China vs. Thailand 2-0

This has to be the best-looking team in the whole tournament... ;)

Ok, should we start to worry about these guys? :D One day they might challenge the Chinese Domination? :p Circa 2017 [when they're around 25 years old]...?

Elizabeth and Rischa are the only two GS left from INA... They will play today in the Round of 16 for a quarterfinal spot... Ayu and Gebby lost yesterday...

While in the BS, Evert Sukamta and Vidar Tamat are still alive in the competition.

R.of 16 today:
Evert vs. Mohammad Reza Khanjani [IRI]
Vidar vs. Prannoy H.S. [IND]

rwchen, I just saw this in the badmintonasia.com site... They still wrote China beat Malaysia 2-0 not 2-1... :confused: I don't know who is more correct... you or that website... [I was not there myself, so I admit I don't know...:p ]

Perhaps, our sources are different. One of them has to be wrong. I got the results from the file, http://www.badmintonasia.org/attachment/Results%20Badminton%20Asian%20Youth%2016%20Team%20 Events%202007-23rd%20Aug.xls


I also noticed some familiar names there, like in WD, Sonia Cheah Su Ya (Mas), XD Li Gen (Chn) and MS Tang Song Hua (Chn) . Sonia Cheah is the younger sister of Lydia Cheah while the other two should be the sons of Li Yong Bo and Tang Xian Fu respectively. All have lost their matches.

well. of course Woon Khe Wei And Tan Wei Kiong will be first place in team and individuals!!!:)

Are they Under-16? :confused:

Here are some pix from the individual event

Elizabeth got knocked out in the Round of 16 by Ma Xixi. Rischa Meisiani lost to Tang Jinhua 14-21, 21-14, 21-12 in the quarterfinals; as the sole Indonesian in the last 8. Does anybody know if Tang Jinhua related to Tang Xinhu, the former INA coach?

The semifinals was an all-Chinese affair: Tang, Chen, Ma, and Bao. Chen Xiaojia eventually won...

Rischa Meisiani

Can anybody please help me identify who is Ma, Bao, Chen, and Tang in this picture...
http://www.badmintonasia.org/gallery/AJ%20U-16%202007/China%20GT.jpg

INA's best result is the finalist of the Girl's Doubles Ayu Pratiwi-Gebby Ristiyani Himawan... who lost to Xia Huan-Bao Yinxin of China. Evert Sukamta lost in the BS quarterfinals to Deng Peng...

Prinyawat Thongnuam of Thailand won the BS title. This Thai youngster already has a BWF ID, so he must have competed as an adult before. Impressive...

Raj Kumar-Prajakta Sawant of India won the XD... cool! I am rooting for Indian badminton boom...Choi Sung Il-Kang Ji Wook of Korea won the Boy's Doubles... No surprise here. Koreans are good at doubles... I don't know what they eat there that made it so.

Good to see some youngster coming out of ages from different nations.. Hopefully they able to end the Chinese dominant sooner.

I am counting on this girl, Rischa, to be a future contender against China... :D

Ma is 2nd from left in the top row & Bao is the 4th from left also in the top row

Thanks javaboy. And in the bottom row, who is the 1st from the left and 3rd from the left? Are they doubles specialists? What are their names?

I am amazed you know these Under-16 Chinese players. :D

I was there in Hanoi to support the team from Philippines. The 1st on the bottom row from left is Yang YT she is the partner of Ma in the doubles event for the team event. The rest I cant remember.

Raj Kumar-Prajakta Sawant of India


I hope India continues to do well in badminton. We need them to make badminton a global force! :D Imagine if one day the 5 gold medals in the Olympics will be won by China, Indonesia, India, Russia, and the USA. Now that's a global sport!

Hows about India, New Zealand, USA, Poland & ......SOUTH AFRICA

I already mentioned the USA, I didn't dare to mention Nigeria, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Australia... :D Far stretch... far stretch...

But 50 years ago, who would have thought that the finals of the 2004 Olympics in basketball [a game purely dominated by the USA for decades] could be Italy vs. Argentina and the current World Basketball Champion is Greece... :D

Well.. We'll soon see the badminton powerhouse China is falling just as the mighty US in BAsketball arena :eek::D:D

Well.. We'll soon see the badminton powerhouse China is falling just as the mighty US in BAsketball arena :eek::D:D

If this Asian Under-16 is any indicator... then China's dominance will be reduced to... er... WS and WD... uh... which are their traditional powerbase eh? :p

After a super-dominant decade in the 1990s, what China probably did not expect was the 1990s rivalry with INA and others in WS... China's first Gold Medal in Olympics WS was not in 1992, not in 1996, but in 2000... In the first 2 Olympics, China could not even get a Silver medal in WS. INA and KOR split the Gold and Silver between them in 1992 and 1996... ;)

How about the Philippines? I believe they will be a force to reckon with in the junior olympics in 2010. Mark my words!

I would love to see that too! Philippino GS and WS must be pretty players! Everybody will look like Diana Zubiri, Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Juliana, etc. :D We love our neighbours! I like the fact that INA is surrounded by badminton loving countries! More fun! Go Thailand, go Vietnam, go Malaysia, go Philippines!

javaboy, are you Filipino or Indonesian (from Java?)?

Proudly Filipino! Its just too bad that our government doesn't give enough support to badminton (unlike our neighbouring countries).

Proudly Filipino! Its just too bad that our government doesn't give enough support to badminton (unlike our neighbouring countries).

Right now, the Indonesian government is not helping our badminton governing body either. :p We're in the same situation then... :p Keep badminton growing as a grass-root sport. The Philippines will get there one day, as you optimistically mentioned. ;) I always support multiple country active participation. It is not as fun if we just play alone. So lonely...

when I was a swimmer, we never get any funding...not even for national championship when you're representing the province...parents pay almost everything out of pocket.

I think u guys in Indo should urged the PBSI to lobby or urge the government to keep the fund flowing. the Indo gov. should keep funding to practically the only sport that the Indonesian is really good at (I think, haven't been back home in 6 years).

Of course we did that, we are doing it now, and we will continue to urge the government to help in the future. With minimal results today because the INA government is not rich and have a lot of other headaches... :o You know laah [multiple natural disasters, unemployment, bewildering interpretations of vague laws, political chaos, etc.]...

But we are not cry-babies! The quest to continue INA badminton glory shall continue despite our multi-faceted problems... :)

How about the Philippines? I believe they will be a force to reckon with in the junior olympics in 2010. Mark my words!

I don't know about that unless you tell us how they're doing. Are they as strong as the badminton powerhouses like China, Malaysia and Indonesia. I hope so but I doubt it. No offense though. :|

At least They get Minarti timur, Tek Ming, Rudy Wijaya and Lily wang to represent Philippines....especially Lily wang..from China, INA now Phillippines...;);)next year, there will be more INA players move there...:o:o

How about the Philippines? I believe they will be a force to reckon with in the junior olympics in 2010. Mark my words!

By the way, is there such a thing as "Junior Olympics"? :confused: Maybe you meant the 2010 Badminton Junior World Championship? :)

At that time, you can expect Evert Sukamta [Tangkas] and Riyanto Subagja [Djarum] to be Boy's Singles contenders from INA. They will both be 18 in 2010... Ayu Pratiwi [Ragunan] and Rischa Meisianni [Djarum] for the Girl's Singles... :) I want to see whom in the Philippines that you have in mind... Whoever they are, gotta face these INA boys and girls... :)

Yes there will be one. It will be sanctioned by the IOC.

Nice pics and work Javaboy. Its definately fun to watch the future of badminton when the likes of ZhangNing, Lindan retires.
