According to the Sina website, Yawen has changed her mind and won't be retire this soon.

J/K, who knows

with so many star players withdrewing, this JO feels like a tournament for rookies:p I don't think lcw need to do any training for this one

I dunno why so many top players withdraw their participation in JO 2008... This is the moment for Indonesian and Malaysian Youngster.....

Have you seen the China masters entries? Probably may turn out looking like a local CHN tournament instead of SS.Who knows may be a tournament of unprecedented walkovers, what with many likely CHN vs CHN matches?

Nah...if it's mainly dominated by CHN players, the chances of walkovers are pretty slim ;)

I thought CHn 's into energy conservation? Why work when there's no need to? Just go by ranking point need will do.

Preparing stamina for China master maybe? Sweep all medals :p

Your bitter disgust knows no end... Just like Chinese dominance.

You should go out more and socialise to vent your anger instead of keeping them fluctuating out upon a forum.

Are you suggesting that CHN dominance is disgusting?
My prediction is based on past CHN behaviour (and as you may be aware,Badmania disagree with his own reasons.)
Maybe this time CHN may change.BTW, we haven't seen any honest CJ vs LD match yet,although they have at least 3 opportunities to do so.Do you know why this is so and do you think it will change the next time they meet?

Yawen is only 25...still young....

With the Olympic gold already under the bag, what's the point of fixing more matches :rolleyes:.
In 4 years time you can say it again ;)

OUCH... :crying::crying::crying: That hurts so badly that I can even feel her pain:crying::crying::crying: The truth are sometimes hurtful, but may as well face it early though.

Volcom, are you by any chance a psychologist, because your analysis and suggestion may very much help her in the future... good for you;)

Probably?
Who know?

I think LYD/LHJ will withdraw as they just withdrew from taipeh Open...

Been told that from official hotel to venue will take about 40 minutes....wow!!

Chris langridge/david Lindey also withdrew ..........

DEN: What happens to KJ?
KJ will only play Denmark and French SS before he retires from international badminton.

Peter Gade will play Japan SS, but is not playing China Masters because his wife is due to give birth the 1st of october according to danish media.

anup sridhar, kendrick lee yen hui,Linda Zechiri, chris langridge, xu chen,guo zhen dong, kumiko ogura, reiko shiota, kana ito, mami naito, sarah bok. Kenichi Hakayawa,

is it true that ogura/reiko will withdrew from this tournament?
look at tournamentsoftware:rolleyes::eek::eek:
anyone can confirm it? rudy?:confused:

I heard Lu Lan and Xu Huai Wen witgdrew and replaced by Francisca RatnasariThat doesn't seem possible. Ratnasari has already been promoted to the main draw to replace Linda Zechiri. I doubt she can be promoted twice. If Lu and Xu withdraw, they will be replaced by Zhu Jingjing and Bae Youn-joo. You can still see the original draw here (http://www.internationalbadminton.org/Japan/Draws%20Yonex%20Japan%20Super%20Series%202008%20se pt%202%202008%204pm.xls).

Well..INA coach told me that Fransica is in for Lu Lan....just found out that what he meant is Fransica is against Lu Lan.

.same thing in Taipeh Open....she did not tell organizer that she withdrew....this is not first time...remember that Zhu Jinh Jing did not show up in Singapore as well even the draw is there.....
Who said that She will be promoted twice???:rolleyes:

KJ will only play Denmark and French SS before he retires from international badminton.

Peter Gade will play Japan SS, but is not playing China Masters because his wife is due to give birth the 1st of october according to danish media.
Thats right...Hans told me same thing ...glad that Gade is in Japan.....

is it true that ogura/reiko will withdrew from this tournament?
look at tournamentsoftware:rolleyes::eek::eek:
anyone can confirm it? rudy?:confused:
INA teams arrived around 7 pm and Paulus attended the meeting could not be reached to confirm these withdrawal...even Xu Huai Wen is still listed.....
I saw Sarah Bok in Taipeh and I think she travelled together with other teams....( their early flight got cancelled on Sunday)

Xu decided to come to Japan in last minute.........wish her play well.........

I am planning to be on court tomorrow watching Taufik's match. If camcorder is allowed I will record the match. Anyone knows regulation regarding this?. Hau ge, I would like to meet you in person if you are coming.:D

..just bring your camcorder (if they don't allow it in, then so be it)...who knows, tomorrow could be the only chance you'll see Taufik play; in other words, he could lose...:p
*Hau-ge won't be in Japan til Friday, at the latest, if he decides to go there...;)

..in another thread (which i don't see any relation of it to that thread) mentioning you successfully recorded Taufik vs. Ng Wei's match.
And i'll respond in here (which i don't know why this has got to do with this thread's topic??:p)
Anyway, just curious, did you buy the ticket just to go there & watch Taufik's match?? Seems like you're back at your lodging already and surfing BC?? Or are you surfing BC from the stadium (using wi-fi)??..:confused:

Sorry for jumping from thread to thread. I bought all days ticket. It is relatively cheaper than buying everyday on the spot. Today I am only interested in MS matches and I could not runaway for a long time from office　by the way. Luckily it takes only 30 minutes to the stadium by subway from my working place. Tomorrow, I will record again Taufik's match against newcomer dane. Any request?.:p

..gotcha!..Sure, go wild with the video recordings of Taufik's or any other players' matches (a few requested for LCW, too??;)). I'm sure the rest of the folks in BC will be thrilled & thanking you to watch/dl those vids.;):)

..yes, there are other softwares to help you do so. If you want, you can go to the Badminton Tournament Video Sharing sub-forum and make a thread/post your query there. I'm sure the folks will be able to guide you. Good luck and don't lose those vids!:);):cool:
