Shon Wan Ho ( 孫完虎 )

[Granum]

SWH outplayed LCW is a CL-like manner. He played with good accuracy and patient play to beat him.
I don't believe LCW has the skill to take down defensive players like CL, SWH, and SDK easily like LD does, which is why these players score wins over him.

[AlanY]

the way to play LCW is to keep the games real tight*, a couple of points either way and eventually he will fold under pressure.

*- easier said than done for most players!

[hanser]

Chen Long definitely

Shon Wan Ho, Kenichi Tago and Viktor Axelson are also possible

But I'm sure they would bring up new faces not long after their retirement since the coaches now have more time to look after the little ones in the camp

But I think Hans-Kristian VITTINGHUS is more exciting then Viktor Axelson though.

Yea I can't believe I forgot about him. Vittinghus defs got the player in him, always so committed in his matches and have really decent shots overall

This is what Shon Wan Ho said on his Facebook shortly after his win at India Open against LCW



Do we have any Korean BCers here who can translate this?

From what it looks like, he is very relieved and thankful

it just says "out of desperation came a miracle...thank you for the congrats and everyone that cheered for me"

Shon Wan Ho lost to Chen Long in Thomas Cup because Chen Long also plays a very patient game and made zero mistakes against him.

He also could keep with Shon's stamina that's he won..Still Shon Wan Ho posed a serious threat to Lee Chong Wei . I notice Lee Chong Wei gets really nervous and struggled to play against Koreans...like in India Open final, he was smashing like a headless chicken and Shon has no problems counter attacking gain points of him.

Shon is a dangerman in London but not to the Chinese for now...to Lee Chong Wei yes

[Alapongtai]

honestly, SWH and LHI both have a chance at the gold if theyre consistent

[SolsticeOfLight]

I don't think LHI has the endurance. He can really play a classy game, but not for 3 sets against the best players.

[extremenanopowe]

At best still the semis unless they created some new weapons or miracle when in OG. LHI game is too predictable for the top players.

The younger one may have a slight chance if the day goes his way like what he played against LCW. Not impossible. Just increase the stamina and consistency and accuracy of the shots, he is there.

You could try contacting them directly. They do have at least one staff member who speaks English. They might give you a subscription, it's hard to say. Unfortunately, their 'contact us' link is not actually a hyperlink and their subscription link, on this page, requires registration and login, which in turn requires Korean language ability and a gov't ID number issued at birth.

You could try the other one, too. They had the same idea for a cover story in the new issue. I think you can view everything a month old or more here, though their actual website is here.
