Badminton drawing rescheduled for July 26, 2008

Updated：2008-07-08 (BEIJING, July 8) -- The draw for the Beijing Olympic Games Badminton Competitions will take place on July 26, stated a Badminton World Federation (BWF) announcement. The drawing is to take place 8 days ahead of the originally scheduled date.

The change is, according to the BWF, due to requests from television broadcasters who want to better schedule broadcast times and arrange advertisements for the badminton competitions, which will take place on Day One of the Beijing Games.

The drawing was previously slated to take place on August 4, just a few days ahead of the first badminton competition. That would leave little time for scheduling and advertisement planning. Television broadcasters and rights holders had expressed wishes that the draw be rescheduled. The recent news was received with much joy.

"Badminton will be one of the last sports to have finalized its draw for the Olympic Games and this is welcome news for broadcasters who have been pressuring BOCOG for earlier information on the schedule of play for Day One," said Stuart Borrie, BWF Secretary General, according to the BWF announcement.

"TV rights holders complete scheduling of programs and advertising well in advance and an earlier draw date for the first round of badminton is important for the sport and its reach on the first few days of competition," Borrie added.

Liu Wenbin, deputy director of the Sports Department of BOCOG, welcomed the BWF decision.

According to the BWF, a panel consisting of BWF president Dr. Kang Young Joong, BWF technical delegate to the Games Paisan Rangsikitpho, BWF Sports Committee deputy chairman Torsten Berg and tournament referee Dennis Li, will oversee the draw.

The draw ceremony will be held at the Beijing Henan Plaza Hotel starting at four o'clock on the afternoon of July 26. The official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will provide live updates.

====== * ====== end news ====== * ======

Perhaps some of our BCers, who would be arriving at Beijing before July 26, can witness the draw ceremony and then post some reports for us here at Badminton Central.

Because Misbun said that....see below news from Utusan Malaysia.
It all depend on LCW's mood during the tournament.

Misbun gundah gara-gara 'mood'

Oleh SYED HESHAM IDRIS
KUALA LUMPUR - Jurulatih badminton perseorangan negara, Misbun Sidek yakin anak didiknya, Lee Chong Wei cukup bersedia untuk cemerlang di Sukan Olimpik Beijing, bulan depan.
Cuma, Misbun masih risau tentang 'mood' pemain itu kerana jika tidak dikawal, ia boleh menjejaskan harapan negara untuk meraih pingat emas pertama di Olimpik.
Menurut Misbun, beliau tidak bimbang dengan tahap kecergasan, aspek teknikal dan taktikal Chong Wei yang setanding pemain lawan, namun 'mood' pemain itu diharap tidak terjejas.
Katanya, terserah kepada pemain itu bagaimana untuk memastikan 'mood' yang baik apabila turun beraksi di gelanggang kelak.
''Memang 'mood' Chong Wei sesuatu yang membimbangkan saya. Ini kerana jika 'mood' dia tidak baik, dia akan bermain mengikut emosi.
''Dalam keadaan 'mood' yang tidak baik, bagaimana dia dapat beraksi dengan baik?
''Inilah (mood) yang mencetuskan kebimbangan dan saya harap tiada perkara yang menggugat 'mood' pemain sewaktu di Beijing nanti,'' katanya ketika ditemui selepas Majlis Penyerahan Jalur Gemilang Kepada Kontinjen Malaysia Ke Sukan Olimpik Beijing di Istana Negara, semalam.
BerubahTambah Misbun, 'mood' seseorang pemain tidak dapat dikawal oleh sesiapa termasuk dirinya sebagai jurulatih.
Malah, katanya, 'mood' pemain boleh berubah kerana ia mudah tercetus akibat sebab yang kecil dan remeh.
''Pada masa ini saya lebih bimbangkan keadaan di luar daripada dalam gelanggang kerana lazimnya turun naik 'mood' pemain kerap bermula di luar gelanggang.
''Jika sudah tiada 'mood' di luar gelanggang, ia akan dibawa ke dalam permainan dan ketika itu sudah pasti pemain tidak dapat menumpukan perhatian terhadap permainannya.
''Jika itu berlaku kelak, saya anggap ia sesuatu yang sia-sia dan merugikan kerana kita telah bersiap sedia untuk temasya sukan ini sejak empat tahun lalu,'' katanya.
Sementara itu, jurulatih beregu negara, Rexy Mainaky berkata, secara keseluruhan para pemain badminton negara sudah bersedia untuk memberikan aksi terbaik di Beijing.
Katanya, para pemain sudah melepasi latihan fasa berat selama kira-kira tiga bulan.
''Menjelang dua minggu lagi Sukan Olimpik, kita menukar corak latihan lebih kepada latihan ringan bagi meredakan tekanan.
''Sebab itu pada tahap ini saya bersikap terbuka dengan meminta mereka melakukan perkara positif mengikut kehendak sendiri dengan tujuan menghindarkan sebarang tekanan,'' katanya.



why say so???...hmmm

Madbad vs Huangkwokhau...hehe

who will win???anyone can tell???

Hauge has already beaten me once in PAW, so he must start as the favourite :D:D

Anything can happen especially at a high blood pressuring event like the Olympics.

Most of the top players are getting a bye in the 1st round

Still no sign of Tine or Yippy

tine is same half with maria kristin yulianti.... she will play maria during 1/16
Ahhh EXCELLENT :D:D:D:D:D:D

from the excel draw that they summarized yip pui yin versus tracey hallam in the first round...

tine is same half with maria kristin yulianti.... she will play maria during 1/16

are u sure???i cant see her name

According to Lius, Maria Kristin can meet Tine in round 16 so the draw that we saw is not right

I hope saina can upset WC.........

as a hongkonger , seems you don;t like her!:p

not funny ok...hauge...:mad:
:D:D...so you do pay attention....just joking...:D:D

I see 6 open sots. Something must be wrong with the software
yeah... same here...

:D:D...so you do pay attention....just joking...:D:D

hmm...of course...now is time to serious about tine and yippiy,not joking...:p

thats right...go to excel...

Yip vs Tracey Hallem

JJY vs Kamila Augustyn

Salakjit gets Bye and will meet ZN in 2nd round

Why so many "Bye" in the draw? BWF should open all bye slot to potential player.. Even from Africa also good..

hmm...of course...now is time to serious about tine and yippiy,not joking...:p
Click Excel draw...it is much better.........

yes, the the draw is completed in excel.

Going by the Excel spreadsheet, potential R16 matchups:

XXF v XAY
XHW v Yippy/Tracey
LL v Rice
WMC v Petya
Maria Kristin v Tine
Saina v WC
Eriko v PHY
JJY v ZN

JJY vs Kamila Augustyn

Good warm up for JJY before she eliminates ZN in R16 :D:D:D

For me it seems the mistake in the WS draw is Tracy hallam receiving a seeded spot. I dont exactly recall the rankings at may but Tine won like 3 super series in 6 months so I guess she is the one to receive a 5/8 seeding and not tracy hallam who for ages havent been going further than 2nd round. However its a bit weird that yip aint included either

Ahhh EXCELLENT :D:D:D:D:D:D
:(:( tough draw........:crying::crying:

Just ignore it and follow the Excel spreadsheed instead

It is wrong..Tine is seeded 5/8..go to excel format

Now...they stop the draw? or having a break?

People at BWF must have fallen asleep. Nothing happening with the other draws

CJ gets a very easy draw...but not KJ , TH, Sony and LD..
BCL gets tricky one....

erm...how if salakjit win zn...as rs can win over ld 4 years ago
then how bout RS vs LCW 4 years later?:o
ok,ok...I believe in LCW..

People at BWF must have fallen asleep. Nothing happening with the other draws

Now I know you are pulling our legs. Don't give poor fans a heart attack

ZN is in the dead zone...

R2: ZN vs Salakjit
R3: ZN vs JJY
QF: ZN vs PHY
SF: ZN vs WC/TR

Kido/Hendra vs Guo/xie
Luluk/Alvent vs Tadashi/Keita

Tine is expected to cruise to finals.

still asking for the rest

ZN is in the dead zone...

R2: ZN vs Salakjit
R3: ZN vs JJY
QF: ZN vs PHY
SF: ZN vs WC/TR

Trust me, she won't get past R3 ;)

From the excel spreadsheet, looks like WMC may meet Lu Lan in QF. If win, expected to be up against XXF in Semi.

Tine is on the other half of the draw with Zhang Ning.

Kido/Hendra vs Guo/xie
Luluk/Alvent vs Tadashi/Keita

Kido/Hendra vs Guo/xie should be a good match

Trust me, she won't get past R3 ;)

wah, madbad, you have great faith in your Korean cutie:D

wah, madbad, you have great faith in your Korean cutie:D

You dang right!
Go JJY

Trust me, she won't get past R3 ;)

wah, madbad, you have great faith in your Korean cutie:D

sure zn will lose...:D

The mens double will be way more intense and interesting to follow from start whereas there will be a lot of less interesting first rounds in the single categories.

yes...u are right...:D

she will not make it :). I have a feeling that the chinese armada is in supreme shape and that they will take 4/5 or 5/5 gold medals. Most unsure category is by far the mens double where indonesia, malaysia and korea has pairs better or on par with china
