:D:D...I do not think so.....it just happened that Lu Yi and Chen Xu saw me collecting my luggage...they did ask why no INA players in China Open..Told them that PBSI did not have money and they could not believe it....then how they could come to HKG Open...told them they use their own money...they were more surprised...

YONEX is coming up "limited edition" for shoes/bags with Dragon symbol in it.....it costs HK$ 500for shoes....HK 300 for bags...this time, YONEX is selling a lot of "Japanese made Yonex shirt"...not cheap but very good quality...

...they must've thought, poor Hau-ge, he has to come all the way & meet the rest of the INA players on his own because PBSI can't afford to sponsor him...:p ;)

OT:weather/temp. here has been pretty chilly/on the cool side....i bet you're glad to be out of chilly Austria & be in HK, where it's nice & muggy, eh??..:)

of course them suprised about that
because they dont believed why the biggest sport in INA and always give medals cant fund their players to go to tournaments..
hmmpf..
I hope our ina players can do their best and get more excited
becaused they fund themselves to go the tournament.. :D:D:D

The Chinese players have lots of respect for INA players & for them to hear this, it's must have been quite a shock. What about next year - when the global recession spills over to the Asian countries??? I hope some generous businessmen/companies will step in to help out ... anything that you can do, Huang?

:D..In Austria/Zurich.....it was snow storm.....amazing...in HKG it is not chilly at all...

Weather report: It's slowly going to be pretty cool (14-15 degrees) right at the weekend. Right now, it's quite mild with sunshine.

Well, it surprised me too. Never saw PBSI's lack of funding became an issue in the 60s to 90s.

Anyway, as you said, since players are funding themselves, they would probably have better motivation to fight for the title this week.

yeah,,that's why it's suprised most of people..hehehe :)

yap,,that's right
i hope ina players will have at least 1 title for this tournament :D

That is considered cheap already...

im already started to plan for the MO09 already;)
btw, the tickets are up for sale now:)

There is a rumour that China may not send their players to MAS Open and Korea Open as they need intensive training.....

There is a rumour that China may not send their players to MAS Open and Korea Open as they need intensive training.....
thats quite sad though especially to fans from malaysia or korea to see the top chinese players in action..
anyway, its just a rumor, lets not make it like it is really gonna be happen;)

There is a rumour that China may not send their players to MAS Open and Korea Open as they need intensive training.....

intensive training for what exactly....olympic is nowhere near at least 3 yrs ahead....or maybe for SC as thyre the def champ...

There is a rumour that China may not send their players to MAS Open and Korea Open as they need intensive training.....

Intensive training, for what, World Championships? That's a long way away ......

I remember Zhang Ning during the last Malaysian Open, she looked so tired from intensive training, went down to Hwang Hye Youn easily.

I will be joining the China team in Jan. Therefore i will not be attending the MO 09 as well.

Intensive training, for what, World Championships? That's a long way away ......

I remember Zhang Ning during the last Malaysian Open, she looked so tired from intensive training, went down to Hwang Hye Youn easily.

They had the annual intensive Winter Camps usually held late December-mid January.

Weather report: It's slowly going to be pretty cool (14-15 degrees) right at the weekend. Right now, it's quite mild with sunshine.
Its not really MILD for Malaysian standard. Zurich is colder right now compare to Austria. Last week the weather is still tolerable. At night its freezing and snowed a little. Good thing its not windy.

According to news, LYB indeed said that. He said the team will undergo 3 months of intensive training. I guess we can expect some players have great form in 2009 AE. :cool:

LYB did say so...
As I said in other threads, the CHN team only cares about OG, WC, Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, Sudirman Cup, AG and maybe AE... not really care about SS...
All their training program are set according to the major competitions that they really care about...
So their next year's targets could be WC, AE and Sudirman Cup...

Xu Huai Wen was very lucky...Korean teams left her a bunch of lucky draws....she got her first break...she got " Thank you " next to " LV sign"..again HKBA let her play one more..guess what? same "thank you" next to " LV wallet"....then she got her second break..ths time sh got her dreamed LV bags.....also Chan Chin Choi ( HK's Head coach, Indonesian born).got another LV wallet...

Many players were attending the party except....No Indonesian players ( except Candra Wijaya), No Danish players, No China Players, No WMC, No Zhou Mi/Wang Chen/Yip/NW as well....dinner party was held at Jockey Club, racing horse...

Old knee injury haunts Chong Wei at HK Open

By RAJES PAUL

KUALA LUMPUR: A recurrent knee injury has forced Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei to withdraw from two tournaments.
The world number one conceded a walkover to Germany’s Marc Zwiebler in the first round of the Hong Kong Open yesterday and he would make a quick return home.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/11/27/sports/s_62chongwei.jpg Playing it safe: Chong Wei has pulled out of the Hong Kong Open and the National Grand Prix Finals due to a recurring knee injury.
Chong Wei has also made up his mind to skip the premier local tournament, the National Grand Prix Finals, scheduled for Dec 9-13 in Alor Star. With the decision, he will skip the chance to go one better on the record of six national titles he shares with his coach and mentor, Misbun Sidek.
Chong Wei, who crashed to yet another tame defeat by Olympic gold medallist Lin Dan in the China Open final in Shanghai last Sunday, said that he did not want to risk aggravating the injury.
“I picked it up during the China Open. It is an old injury but it is not serious. My coach and I felt that it was best that I give this Hong Kong Open a miss,” said Chong Wei in a telephone interview.
Chong Wei’s priority now is the Super Series Masters Finals, which will be held in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.
Despite missing the Hong Kong Open, which is the 12th and final round of the Series this year, Chong Wei is assured of a place in the Finals, which feature the top eight ranked players in the Series standings with a condition that each country can only have two qualifiers. Chong Wei is currently the leader in the standings.
“Our GP Finals are too close to the Masters Finals. I need more time to prepare. I have decided not to play in the GP Finals unless the BAM (Badminton Association of Malaysia) change the championships to a later date,” he said.
Choong Wei said that he would be  wiser in facing Lin Dan after suffering two humiliating defeats to the Chinese superstar, the other being in the final of the Beijing Olympics last August.
“At the Olympics, the pressure got to me. This time, I did not play well. But I have learnt a lot from both defeats. My coach and I will work to come up with better strategy to get the better of Lin Dan,” he said.

all of u who are watching in the stadium , is sally yeh present and watch badminton in this year hong kong open?:cool:

With the blessing of LYB.......Gao ling/Wei Yi Li will be competing again next year at least for one year.
Also Zhang Ji Wen/Yang Wei will start competing at Korean Open.

Vita/Butet may not play women double anymore as Vita is trying to concentrate XD and she prevents her old injury as well.

Vita/Butet may not play women double anymore as Vita is trying to concentrate XD and she prevents her old injury as well.

That's kinda expected. She looked very sluggish on Friday.....and I heard also she was feeling kinda burned out after the Olympics. Butet may need to find another new partner in that case. Shendy perhaps?

:eek::eek: then what retire ceremony is FOR???? :confused::confused::confused:

that's good news if true...
LYB should learn from the case of ZM, when a good player is not under the pressure of representing CHN team, he/she could enjoy playing badminton and achieve good results...
the retirement just signify their retirement from CHN team, not from badminton... they could play on their own, like CH, or Chandra...
it's good for badminton fans...

Thats okay..even some of chinese players did not know also...Zhang Ji Wen was herefor one day...anyway..I got info from one of their BF...:D...he mentioned that GL may play for one year only...was thinkng to ask her to play mix with Flandy but being told it might not possible...lets see if they will play next year..it seems for sure that China team will go under Army camp and may not participate MAS and KOR open..

Wang Lin admires TH so much that she never misses TH's matches....thru CBA's translator she would " Jia Yao" TH all the way from Beijing........

It seems that Kido may take time to heal his knee's injury...hopefully it will be okay for SS Final.

Saw Kungfu Panda and Malaysian players enjoyed themself in LKW....some to Disneyland,and Eurpean plays went to beach....

I am not sure it is comfirmed or not that news saying that LYB will be promoted to head "small balls" department, meaning taking care of Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton and Li Ling Wei is supposed to replace him...

O Saturday morning, about over 200 people went to see Kido/Hendra,Yip,Hehanbin/Yuyang and Hauw/Hock for coacvhing clinic organised by Yonex..

Xu and Marc Zweibler has never tries to enter HK's Ice bar...it was minus 20 C and basically each had 3 shots of Vodka...haha

Good chance for others to produce best outcome and collect ranking point toward World Championships while CHN players as tough competitor will be busy with their winter camp.

I don't see any contradiction between this and Hauge's info... Take CH as an example.

Furthermore GaoLing and WeiYili are from Hubei, YW/ZJW represents GuangDong. So it's beneficial to their provinces if they continue to play in high level tournaments.

nope. Theyve been paired before. But the result was terrible. If im not mistaken.

What about Head?

what about Sotx?

what about Sotx?

...ja, why not? Only asked about Head, because Hauge visited Austria before going to Hong Kong...

Ideally Grace/Butet would spearhead INA'S WD for years to come...... ideally :o.

They lack power.....Butet will be better if paired up with Shendy.....with a "tukang gebuk".

INA's WD don't have much big power players this time.

Only a few names, Meiliana Jauhari, Nitya Khrisinda and Yulianti. Althouh Shendy big & tall, she is front side player. Meliana who has harder smash as execution player.

Nitya looked nervous when she paired with the "experience" partner, so far her best pair is Pia Zebadiah.

Yulianti, please paired back with Richi Puspita Dilli. Remember, this pair won in Vietnam Challenge beat Ha/Kim of Korea who beat Vita/Lily in HKG this week.

I am not sure it is comfirmed or not that news saying that LYB will be promoted to head "small balls" department, ...

Errr.... I don't even want to get started on this. Does this mean guys with... ;):D:D

Yulianti, please paired back with Richi Puspita Dilli. Remember, this pair won in Vietnam Challenge beat Ha/Kim of Korea who beat Vita/Lily in HKG this week.

I remembered abt that match...the Koreans were making so many errors....esp at the rubber-set, which basically gift-wrapped the match to the INA pair.

However, I heard Yulianti is not longer in Pelatnas? Hmm.....

They lack power.....Butet will be better if paired up with Shendy.....with a "tukang gebuk".
Yes...Shendy is a front player and Meili is the actual attacker " tukang gebuk"...I hope they will revamp all WD..Endang could be out..we need to promote all PRATAMA WD players to senior level..it wil be pain but good for future.....

actually I like combination Meili/Butet..

do u have an idea when is natsir will have new partner on WD?

Yes...Shendy is a front player and Meili is the actual attacker " tukang gebuk"...I hope they will revamp all WD..Endang could be out..we need to promote all PRATAMA WD players to senior level..it wil be pain but good for future.....

endang could be out of pelatnas??? any others? :eek::eek:

i thought Yulianti still paired with Poluakan. they are no longer together :confused:. or both have been out from pelatnas??

i really have no idea bout 2nd layers of pelatnas players :p:p

hmm,,i rather see butet get paired with shendy
they gonna make a good pair,,
both of them ,is young and energetic
so,is not wrong to try it
hehehe..

and not only butet need to think about
all sections actually need to think about..
in MD we have good players beside Kido/Hendra
in XD we still keep hangin' on to Nova/Butet
in MS we must see another player beside Sony and Simon
in WS we are now is running out about who will be the next maria,firda,and pia
and lately performance of maria,pia and firda is getting slow..
in WD we must see a new partner for butet and others

hope for the best to Indonesia players :)
