thanks for the info ... if got chance & time ... will surely pay a visit there :-)

[ctjcad]

..will definitely be a busy year in sports, in general. For badminton, you've got the AG (not a BWF sanctioned event), BWF's TC & UC (in M'sia), BWF's World Championships (in France), BWF's World Junior Championships (in Mexico). Other sports: FIFA World Cup 2010, the Winter Olympics (Vancouver)...
any other??..:confused:

Btw, not sure if kwun/mods want to move this thread to the Tournament sub-forum? Or risk being buried & un-noticed in this General Forum sub-forum/section??..

LOOKING forward on it...at tat time...ina,china,korea and mas will be very close in term of team event...

Maz ... Did you know that India could miss out on hosting the Commonwealth Games if a dispute over the construction of the athletes' village is not resolved?

If New Delhi was unable to host the Games, Melbourne would likely be asked to be host again: click here (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Melbourne_ready_if_Commonwealth_Games_pulled_from_ India/articleshow/3996206.cms)

[jymbalaya]

[abedeng]

Tianhe Sports Centre is undergoing massive upgrading works right now. I was there to pick up my Sudirman Cup tickets last May. Like Senayan Sports Complex, it is a whole complex within the City Centre, with it's own Subway Station and shopping complexes nearby.

China is really strong in AG event (no wonder as they're #1 at last year OG), looking at 2006 XV Doha AG medal-standing they collected 165 gold meanwhile South Korea as runner-up grabbed 58 gold, there's huge gap between China and other Asian countries. As the host, China contingent will bag many more gold medals compared 2006 edition.

The Asian Games, 2010 which are to be held in Guangzhou, China will be one of the greatest sports events ever, as is being claimed. Grand opening ceremony and a range of sports will mark the event. The opening ceremony is being organised under Chen Weiya, who was also the assistant director of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Chen revealed in a special interview that the ceremony "will surprise the world." Reportedly, a 7,000 people team will contribute to the ceremony. A lighting ceremony, separate at the sea and land will be held at the opening ceremony.Indain Badminton star will play well. Find out more updates on>>>
