If LCW wins this SO (most likely) and the upcoming IO (if he doesn't withdraw), will LCW be the World #1 in MS?

As we all know that LD is not participacing in these two events, that means LD cannot gain more points (or will lose some points :confused:?)...

Someone please confirm, thanks.

no...lee chong wei will be 6121 points behind lin dan

no...lee chong wei will be 6121 points behind lin dan

even if LCW win both SO and IO ???
I thought LCW will replace LD's position as #1 after IO (if he manage to win both titles).

Currently, LD's points is 86280 and LCW's is 79599. The differece is 6681 points. If your calculation is right, just wonder why the point diference is still so far (almost no change) --- 6891 (now) and 6121 (after) :confused:.

Anyway, thanks for your calculation.

lin dan did not get any points in last year's singapore open and did not compete in the indonesia open....therefore he wont lose any points.. if lee chong wei wins the singapore open .. he will get 9200 points and that will deduct from the 6420 points he got last year for reaching a semifinals..that means he will earn 2780..he will be 3901 points behind lin dan..sorry.. i calculated wrongly..

Yes,...and LCW wont gain extra points if he wins IO....becos he is the defending champion.......;)

yes...u is right...jason

LCW will not be world number even if he wins both (Singapore and Indonesia).

But if he wins either one or both, he will be 2780 (9200-6420) pts closer to LD.

lcw defitenetely will not become the world number 1..
whats the point if being the world number 1?
the OG08 is near and u will be very much pressured:p
remember the WC06 quater final?:rolleyes:
what happen to lcw...?:rolleyes::(

Thanks for the clear explanation.
Maybe he can do that after the OG.

In any sports, being world number 1 means something.
For example: "something to proud of", "the best", "top achievement", "being more famous", etc (maybe extra money/salary for players in certain countries ;)).

yes...msm and bam got offer salary base on ranking...

...and the sponsors might offer more money, too, if he keeps the top ranking and top performance consistently.

It will be more meaningful if LCW be world #1 when he wins a host of big titles like Olympic gold, WC, AE, etc rather than be ranked #1 for a few weeks.

What's the hurry?
LCW will be WR1 after OG08.

yes...msm and bam got offer salary base on ranking...

Not salary, quarterly bonus, but still pending for some of 2007's one (i.e. havent pay). Anyway, no hurry, only the fan 'kan cheong'

I rather Chong Wei remain in world#2.It will be most meaningful and memorable if he wins the Olympic gold in Beijing despite being the World#2.
What's the point of being world#1 with the hugh pressure on your shoulder?

LCW will not be world number even if he wins both (Singapore and Indonesia).

But if he wins either one or both, he will be 2780 (9200-6420) pts closer to LD.
Some correction:

if LCW wins either one, he will be 2780 (9200-6420) pts closer to LD.

Since points for IO2007 has been deducted and the lowest two in the best 10 are currently 6420 and 6420, he will be 2780 + 2780 = 5560 pts closer to LD if LCW wins both.

Yes, world number two is good enough for LCW to have "favorable" draw in Beijing.

Lee Chong Wei will not be going to IO.

Great decision!

Based on LCW's recent performances, i really hope he will bring Msia's FIRST olympic medal in Beijing..! ^^
i think he has become more mature.

yalo... he's dam good against peter gade yesterday.. if he can maintain the form till the OG, he sure can win gold.

Just 1 thing can he maintain his form? or will he crumble under pressure or Lin Dan goes to an even higher level of play(hope not:D) let's see

Lee Chong Wei will not be going to IO.
as expected, becausre i expect him to win this spore open ss..
so , im glad to hear that he wont be going to INA to compete in the ina ss...
he needs rest...:)

train up for beijinggggg :)

MAS had won the MD silver and bronze medal before, so far no gold yet.

Tat's why msia's FIRST olympic gold medal....!:rolleyes:

World Ranking doesnt guarantee a GOLD medal, but only good seedings to avoid the top guns. LCW is not too concerned whether he is No.1 or No2, as long as he avoid LinDan prior to the final. That's the bottom line.

Federer still No.1 but Nadal has been winning lately ;)

yup....agree with u jimbo

Yes, LCW won the SO yesterday.

Yes, he thrashed his opponent in the final yesterday.

Yes, LCW have been showing good form of late.

... BUT shall we hold the Malaysia Boleh champagne until we get our hands on that gold in Beijing??

Though I am happy to see LCW taking the SO, I must say with the big guns missing, LCW ought win the SO as the world #2, which he did.

We need to be clear here that winning the SO with a relatively easy field and taking that MS gold in Beijing are absolutely two different matter. In Beijing, the big guns will be there. So, lets chill that Boleh champagne, hold back that Malaysia Boleh marching band at least until the Olympics.

Lets aim for the big titles.

What will be your offer if Msia win the gold?

What will be your offer if Msia win the gold?

A "big boss" told me that even LD could not stop LCW if he is in good form :eek:

Offer if MAS win the gold???

Hmmm ... let me approach it this way; I think it will be a curse to Msian badminton if we win a gold in Beijing. Why??? Because I think the celebrations, the politicians, the rewards, and all other things bout Malaysia Boleh may set Msian badminton back another 15 years.

What comes to mind will be another repeat of our TC win in 92. What happened to our shuttlers and badminton after that win??? Our badminton fortunes went downhill and our shuttlers (some) went bankrupt.

So, I dont know. Winning that first gold for the country is good on one hand but when the Malaysia Boleh razzmatazz come into play, it will be a big negative to Msian badminton in general.

So ... do we want the Gold or not?
Of course i dont want the Thomas Cup history to repeat itself as it has proven few times.

Yes, we do want that gold BUT not at the expense of our badminton. As such, I hope should we win in Beijing we have the maturity to do what is right.

In the modern sports, it's all about winning. Greece ran away with the Euro2004 and it was a fluke... but who cares? the Euro medal still safe n sound in their trophy room...

The same goes for JXP... OK, LCW will win OG08 GOLD in style n maturity.:p

A "big boss" told me that even LD could not stop LCW if he is in good form :eek:

Big boss misbun ah?

LOL : "Do u we want the gold or not??"
As though the GOLD will be in our hand for sure IF WE REALLY WANT IT !

Big Boss or not should not get overconfidence. U never know what will be the outcome IF happened to be both Ld & LCW in trmendous form during OG.

Big boss misbun ah?

haha... bigger than that... haha... :p

At the same time.. dont underestimate the other players. We are talking as if only Lindan and LCW is playing in the Olympics. We have to be careful with other chinese players as well as the Koreans.

yeah... as if only both of us playing in the OG... u sure win the "silver" lah :p:D

haha... bigger than that... haha... :p

The only Big Boss there is Ganga. Unless you are refering to Yap KH.

world number 1 should not be LCW prime concern now
OG gold and history will remember him for long time...
roslin used to be world number 1..but who realli
remember what he contributed?

yeah... as if only both of us playing in the OG... u sure win the "silver" lah :p:D

Hahahha of course Silver.. coz there will be no Gold.

I love it when people talk about football. Its my bread n butter.

Greece 2004 was a fluke??? Dude, have you actually watched Euro 2004?? Greece then played efficient defensive football and hit their opponents in fast counter attack moves. It was no fluke. And by the way, Greece top their qualifying group for Euro2008.

If LCW wins this SO (most likely) and the upcoming IO (if he doesn't withdraw), will LCW be the World #1 in MS?

As we all know that LD is not participacing in these two events, that means LD cannot gain more points (or will lose some points :confused:?)...

Someone please confirm, thanks.
..the world no. 1 ranking, esp. when going into the Olympic games. It's almost like a curse. At least that's what history has written, since there hasn't been a world no.1 MS player who has won an Olympic MS Gold. :rolleyes: ;)
