Hi folks,

Just checking... was everyone OK accessing the images on picasa?

Or... should I use the upload feature on this forum?

Here is a teaser. Unfortunately, I am too tired to filter through all the rest (took over 150 photos). Will post it up when I wake up :)

Thank you!! Can't wait for the pics!! :D

Badminton: China tops in junior badminton
5:00AM Monday November 05, 2007
By Dave Worsley
China came close to total domination of the 2007 world junior badminton championships at the Trusts Stadium, Waitakere, yesterday but a remarkable effort by a Korean duo, some contentious service calls and a comeback by a Malaysian pair held off the Chinese team, to a certain extent.

The finals day started with Malaysian second seeds Khim Wah Lim and Hui Lin Ng capturing the world junior mixed title after defeating English third seeds Chris Adcock and Gabrielle White in a tight three sets.

Adcock and White got off to a good start with a 13-8 lead, however the Malaysians levelled the score at 13-all after winning five consecutive points. The rest of the set was point for point until the English combination closed it out 25-23.

In the second, Adcock and White had a healthy lead once again at 19-15 but then squandered a championship point and the chance to become the first non-Asian winners of a world Lim and Ng kept their composure in the third and deciding game to win 21-19. The final score 23-25, 22-20, 21-19 gave Malaysia their only gold medal at this year's championships.

The women's singles was the most straightforward of the day as Chinese third seed Lin Wang easily beat Korean Youn Joo Bae 21-16, 21-15.

The men's singles final displayed a potential star of the future in the form of Long Chen from China. The tall second seed defeated Japanese sixth seed Kenichi Tago 21-16, 21-14. Tago tried everything but Chen proved too powerful and too quick.

The women's doubles was another China versus Korea final, with the Chinese again the winners - this time with Jing Xie and Qianxin Zhong in three sets.

The final contest of the tournament was China against Korea in the men's doubles. Top seeds Tian Li and Biao Chai (China) won the first set 26-24 with both sides using some aggressive tactics. However, as the match continued, the Chinese duo complained regularly about the driving service action of their Korean counterparts Eui Seok Chung and Baek ChoelShin.

The referee was brought in but to no avail for the Chinese. The Koreans won the second set 21-19 and then the third and final set 21-15.

I don't think the reporter got it quite right... I think they were protesting against the fault service calls against them from the service judge - I think these were mostly when Tian Li were serving.

Then again... that's how I saw it.

..for sharing the pics w/us, noluckjim..;):cool:..I reckon those are or will be the future stars in the pro badminton circuit..:cool:

Thanks to those who said thanks :)

To be honest, I think I was taking more pictures than the actual photographer (he always seemed to be there only late in the second game in each event! :eek:). Wish I could sit by the court like he could... :(

I also don't recall seeing much photography. A couple people had point and shoot cameras, but otherwise I think there were more video camera recordings there :)

I like the pics you've taken. The emotions, the tensions and the joys!
Did you say you took them manual? If so, very commendable indeed! :)

she had beaten XXF 2 years ago so playing at the world Jr tournament would be a no contest;)

Autofocus kept getting the net :mad: Need new expensive lense... or Kwun's 1D Mark III... hehe :rolleyes:

For some reason after the first bs pic, now I'm only seeing red xs

IMO, Chen Long has the champion temperament (hopefully I use the right word).

Meh.. got any pics of players from Nz like Ethan Haggo, Chance Cheng, and Henry Tam ? O_o

Are you asking just a general question or specifically about this tournament? Cause Henry & Chance are now 19, so were too old for the tournament. (& Chance doesn't seem to be playing much now)There is a picture of Ethan competing at the Badminton NZ website.

I wish I did, but I was only there for the semifinals/finals (and they were all knocked out by then).
