[badMania]

Yup...it's probably a warm up event for the SS Finale the following week. It's basically almost like an internal competition, with very few outside participants.

[limsy]

hope all my fave perform well here...^^...all the best for mas duo...tcs and vountus...hope the draw will be better...

[Krisna]

If I were LYD-JJS, I will just practice for the SS Finals... ;) Much more $$$ and glory there... ;)

[madbad]

Does anyone know what happened to Jun Jae Youn? I know she's been missing from the SS circuit since the Beijing OG. Has she succumbed to her injuries and retired? If she has, what a shame. Great talent that never reached her full potential. I will miss her :crying:

On the other hand, my other fave HHY is playing :):)

Why not many Korean WS after Bang So Hyun perform well in badminton world? We still can see a lot of MD and WD of Korean, but not WS, I think INA regeneration better than KOR WS...

I have the opposite opinion

After Mia left, Head to head WS INA vs WS KOR, Korea was better

I didn't have record Maria against KOR WS,
Firdasari never win against Hwang Hye Youn, Lee Hyun Jin, Seo Yoon Hee.
Bae Youn Joo looked promising as future WS, sorry I say that she better than INA future WS.

Better h2h WS INA only on "older" players vs "upcoming" WS KOR, like Lidya Jaelawijaya beat Jun J.Y. ON SC, Ellen Angelina beat Lee K.W. or Silvi Antarini ever beat Jun J.Y.

Ra Kyung Min, Lee Kyung Won were good single players, maybe they were best KOR WS on those periode.

Ra K.M., Lee K.W. and others WS KOR moved to focus on WD & XD, it was their choice. They saw bigger chance on doubles.

After Mia Audiana, only Maria who compete in high level of WS. Jun Jae Youn took a long time absent because of injury.

From the looks of it, TCS has the capability to get into the final. Ot at least, that should be the threshold of success for him.

[madbad]

Can't seem to get results from the website. Help anyone?

yes...me too...surprise that og gold medalist lost in their own country...in a ic...:eek:

[event]

surprise that og gold medalist lost in their own country...in a ic.That would indeed be a surprise if it had happened. However, they didn't play. Lee sat out Yeosu because of the same injury that is keeping her out of KK.

Lee Hyo Jung was injured, so, no chance for the Great Yong Dae to win 2 titles.

..for sharing/confirming the infos, guys. I can imagine LHJ would've been a double winner, herself (playing WD with LKW).:cool:
