Just a small news to pass along.. ..read in the news the other day, actually Markis missed the award ceremony being held in Jakarta with his teammates, along with Presiden SBY and Menpora's Chairman Adhyaksa Dault, for the reason to accompany his mother who is quite ill. Hope Markis can go through this period with perseverance.
hmm he also didnt come to one of Indonesia's talk show "ceriwis" last Thurday only hendra,nova n butet came....
Okay.. ..thanks for confirming, v3nnnn..I thought the same also, as i saw his picture with his mom welcoming him back at the airport, this past Monday..
Happy Belated Birthday to both Kido and Hendra The next aim this year will be to beat BOTH Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun and Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong; and at the same time win more Super Series title.
a bit of personal life of Markis Kido Jawapos reported today that Markis Kido has a girlfriend named Richasari Pawestri for 8 yrs. Apparently they met when they were recruited in Pelatnas and both of them from Jaya raya club. before that markis Kido was born in Bekasi and started playing at PB Dian Jaya ( Bekasi before moving to Jaya Raya.) Now Richasari is a coach of PB Purnama in Solo... He is a big fan of Thierry Henry ( Barcelona)....
well...now we know he cheated his age ( as per Krisna's )...if paper said that they has been together for 8 yrs, now MK is 23 yrs old and GF is one year younger (22) so basically they have been dating when MK was 15 and GF was 14....very unusual age for dating especially for Indonesians..if I use Krisna's so MK is 25 or 26 and GF is 24 or 25...otherwise it is too young for his GF to be a coach as 22 oyrs of age,,...
As I knew Richasari was from Tangkas. She was recruited in to Pelatnas in 2002 (or early 2003) and droped in end of 2003 (in this periode a lot of players less than 1 years stayed in Pelatnas, included Andre Kurniawan). Interesting to watch, why a lot of players from Solo and arround choose to join Jakarta clubs instead of Djarum that near from Solo. I noticed Icuk, Joko, Bambang, Nova Widianto, Hendry/Wandry Kurnia Saputra, Eny Erlangga, Eny Widowati, Richasari until junior player Nandang Arif. Also players from Tegal and arround, Simon Santoso, Hendra Setiawan & Heny Budiman. Djarum has strong relation with players from Surabaya and arround, Maria Kristin (Tuban), Alan B.K., Yohan H.K., Minarti Timur, Sylvinna Kurniawan, Shendy Puspa, Holvy De Pauw, Arif Rasidi (Surabaya), Chindana Hartono, Wiwis Meyliana (Tuluangagung), Ari Yuli Wahyu (Kediri). Also the Palembang players Fran Kurniawan, Fernando Kurniawan, Chandra Kowi, Yulianti, Lili Siswanti, Debby Susanto, M. Ahsan. Suryanaga and other clubs around Surabaya had strong relation with players from Yogyakarta and arround, Tri Kusharyanto, Finarsih, Aprilia, Fauzi Adnan.
Newspaper said that Richasari was from jayaraya....markis mentioned that they both were from Jayaraya club....so which one is right???
Kido and Hendra both ARE from Jaya Raya, the club owned by Ir. Ciputra, one of INA's property tycoons. There are 4 articles profiling Markis Kido: his background, hobby and comments from Coach (Sigit Pamungkas). I don't think Kido cheated age that much...I presume he's at most 25 Hopefully, Kido's achievement could spur Bona Septano and Pia Zebadiah to train harder so that they can be on par with their older brother. I have a feeling Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan could follow Kido/Hendra's footstep in becoming a world class MD pair Both are only 20 this year.
MK should be 25-26.. I don't see many Badminton players of 22-23 years old who can execute so powerful and deceptive smash.. BWF can't do anything about it? Age cheating is a serious issue in sports.
Fu's only 23, and he's got the biggest hammer in MD. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, he's been smashing his signature bombs since 2002-2003, when he was only 19.
