Is there a BC member from Laos out there who can update us on the results? Stories? Anything? :) So far, all I know is: http://www.badmintonasia.org/event_details.aspx?eventID=151

I'm so glad more of our neighbours are all getting into the game. Vietnam is now so into badminton... :cool: The Philippines have a Gold GP event. Even Brunei will have a BWF tournament again later this year [after the Brunei Open 1* absence for a couple of years]. I keep getting mixed signals about the status though . Don't know who is more correct... :confused:

Hmmm, maybe next year we will have:
[B]Cambodia Future Series ;)
Myanmar Future Series ;)
Bangladesh Future Series ;)
Papua New Guinea Future Series :eek:
East Timor Future Series :D

I am pretty certain Team INA will sweep the titles in WS, MD, WD and XD (at least).

The annual Robot Vietnam International Challenge is ever so popular while the Vietnam GP is also attractive for at least second-tier players.

Hmmm, maybe next year we will have:
Cambodia Future Series ;)
Myanmar Future Series ;)
Bangladesh Future Series ;)
Papua New Guinea Future Series :eek:
East Timor Future Series :D

Or perhaps Brunei Future Series.
I bet the cash will be huge.
And to popularize badminton in Brunei, rewards will be presented by the Sultan himself.:eek:

All INA players are through to the QF to be played today.
I predict there will be an all-INA Final in MD and WD.

The only tough and interesting QF matches in MS:
Pei Wee Chung [1] vs Hendri Apriliyanto [6]
Riyanto Subagja vs Phong Nam Duong [2]

Other matches:
MS
Bayu Sukmo Pamulang vs Phakonekham Fongmalayseng

WS
Jenna Gozali vs Siti Marinah Md. Salleh

MD
Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan [1] vs Md. Syahmil Fajrin Wahab/Md. Syazwan Faiz Wahab

WD
Noor Nekma Rosley/Siti Marinah Md. Salleh vs Jenna Gozali/Luluk Maria Ulfa
Annisa Wahyuni/Nimas Rani Wijayanti vs Bouphakesone Lomany/Phonephanh Vatthanavong

XD
Chanpisey Vann/Sodany Nouer vs Wifqi Windarto/Luluk Maria Ulfa

Chanpisey Vann/Sodany Nouer vs Wifqi Windarto/Luluk Maria Ulfa
Wow, their name don't look like Thailand ones. Are they Cambodians?

Or perhaps Brunei Future Series.
I bet the cash will be huge.
And to popularize badminton in Brunei, rewards will be presented by the Sultan himself.:eek:

or maybe they can have a super series in brunei and the winner will get one of the sultans many exotic cars??? that'll be better wouldn't it??;)

any MAS players involve in this tournMENT..
I think that there is no malaysian player involve.

George, if you look at the results file, our BJSS Juniors for MS went.

MS = Chung Pei Wee, Soo Kar Seong , Zulfadli from KLRC. Chung Pei Wee lost to Indonesia's Hendri in QF

Pei Wei chung is not a junior anymore:o
ZULFADLI Zulkiffli
Pretty impressive results by Zulfadli Zulkilffli, the 16 years old young lads who upset no. 3 seeds host players in R16 but went down fighting against another promising talent from Thailand..

I was in touring Laos some years ago. Badminton is a very popular street game. People just hit the shuttle back and forth. I was in Macau two weeks ago. The same there. At the grassroots level, badminton is very much alive in East Asia.

Until the quarterfinals, you can find the results here:
41362

Today, I just got updated:
MS
Hendri Apriliyanto [INA, seed #6] def. Poodchalat Pisit [THA, seed #7] 21-18, 21-18.
Bayu Sukmo Pamulang [INA] def. Duong Phuong Nam [VIE, seed #2] 21-15, 21-17.
All INA finals tmrw! :cool:

WS
Ratchanok Inthanon [THA] def. Jenna Gozali [INA] 21-14, 21-15... :o Actually, I heard that Jenna originally was not even registered to play WS, but the local Laos organizers pleaded for an INA representative to make the competitive field more exciting... :D So, the team INA relented, in the spirit of a good neighbor and fellow world-badminton citizens, to put one in: Jenna. ;)

MD
Wifqi-Alfiat [INA, seed #1] def. Duong Bao Duc-Pham Cao Hieu [VIE, seed#4] 21-19, 21-10
Rizky-Albert [INA, seed #3] def. Angly Phoudthakeo-Bouanguen Sengsavara [LAO local heroes] 21-9, 21-12
All INA finals here too!! :cool: :cool:

WD
Le Ngoc Nguyen Nhung-Thai Thi Hong Gam [VIE] def. Jenna-Luluk [INA] 16-21, 23-21, 21-17... Must have been an awesome match! :eek:
Anisa-Rani [INA] def. Khonesanith Inthavanh-Manivone Mernchalean [LAO] 21-5, 21-8. :)

XD
Duong Bao Duc-Thai Thi Hong Gam [VIE] def. Wifqi-Luluk [INA] 23-21, 18-21, 21-13.
:o

I think so far, this Laos Future Series have been fun. All the ASEAN youngsters fighting it out on the courts... :) :D Hey, where are the Filipinos, Singaporeans, and Myanmarians... :p :D They should also have joined the fun...

So, I got my predictions wrong on Jenna Gozali (WS and WD) and the XD pair Wifqi Windarto/Luluk Maria Ulfa.

Not bad, Wifqi/Afiat should win another title here.

I heard that the 15 yo Djarum boy (could be Hendri Aprilliyanto) is definitely a solid prospect. Fang Kaixiang and Fung Permadi have great hopes on him.

Riyanto Subagja who went to the quarterfinals [but lost to the Vietnamese 2nd seed] is 15...

riyanto subagja is ricky subagja`s son???

No he isn't. Ricky Subagja's children are still small...

By the way, here's what happened in the finals so far:

MS

Luluk Maria Ulfa! Not Luluk Hadianto... :p In INA, Luluk is a unisex name... :D
41382 not 41383

MD Final result:
Wifqi-Alfiat [1] def. Rizky-Albert [2] 21-16, 21-8 :cool:
So, 3 titles for INA! :cool: :cool: :cool:

I heard that Wifqi/Afiat are already in Pelatnas now? They have won an International Series event before (Waikato Int), so winning an International Futures event will be good, but, not spectacular considering they face only Laos, Brunei and Vietnam players :o The challenge for them this year will be to go one step higher this year, winning an Int Challenge Event (maybe Vietnam, Malaysia, or Indonesia Challenge) and participate in at least some GP and neighbouring GP Gold events.

Are Rizky/Albert also going to be in Pelatnas?

Another successful tourney for Team Djarum....this time the junior team. Up next for them will be the Smiling Fish Thailand International Series in Trang, where competition will be more intense with the influx of Malaysian and Thailand juniors.

We will also see Mel/Shendy in the Walikota Cup. Another local title perhaps for them?

Yep...Wifqi/Afiat is in the Pelatnas now and Rizky/Albert is still in djarum.......
If I remember that Djarum is asking PBSI to send this MD and WD for last time under Djarum....

Hau-ge is correct.
