If it is "Which Chinese WS players should go the Olympics?", the result may be different.

Well,there are 4 choices, you vote according to what you think, "will" or 'should". I venture to say most vote on who "should" as "will" would mean trying to read LYB's or CBA's mind.

a new scenairo for u to ponder:

SF(1) WYH vs TB ; SF(2) WX vs LXR

Assuming (1) is played first, and the result is TB won. Then obviously LYB will tell WX to win in (2). If WYH won, LYB may tell LXR to win against WX, so that WX can play against TB for bronze medal.

Assuming (2) is played first, what will u do if u are LYB?

EASY!! Give a long distance call to Zhang Ning and Zhong Bo. Dont care about the match order, persuade LXR for walkover.

With WX playing TB ? Free gold medal for China.

Reason being:

TB is slow, she cant play long and fast rallies. Left handed player is always a problem for her. Above all else, she is one of a kind who likes to rage for no reason, shows sign of how mentally fragile she actually is. Somemore she is old..WX will kill her for sure

WX will kill her for sure

Sometimes one wonders why sports are played at all? You can always tell how it will end up, after all.

Rarely happen but it did.

First,I'd advise you use "kill" in inverted quotes(to prevent misunderstanding,for your own good).

Second, Tine may be "old" by badminton standards, she is still a strong woman, except that I admit she's too temperamental for her own good (Juliane too), otherwise she possesses the most powerful smash in the world,in my opinion, which few can handle. On her day,I think she can be quite a handful for anybody.

Third, I believe it's not a certainty Wang Xin will steamroll Tine for I always regard past results are no guarantee of future performance, and having played so many times against each other,the chances of Tine getting one back may be relatively higher.

Fourth, I trust LXR also has what it takes to beat Tine, LXR is even more aggressive than Wang Xin whose style is similar to hers with WX a bit more deceptive.

In conclusion, I'd say whose form is better during the Olympics is the deciding factor.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Wo men%27s_singles#cite_note-2

IOC must be pissed off and regretting the implementation of allowing any 3 players from the top 4 to qualify from the same country.

Will that list be finalized? It wont until LYB says so.

Qualifiers ^[3]

**Justin L** · 06-23-2012, 07:01 AM

As of now,it's 28 with LXR versus 6 without. LYB/CBA, are you listening?

**repentedboy** · 06-23-2012, 07:20 AM

Why can't Badminton be like Tennis in the Olympics? Countries can send four players to occupy each quarter of the draw as long as they make the cut.

Last Olympics, you see Russian women sweeping the medals for the Olympics because all four of them qualified.

**pcll99** · 06-23-2012, 08:01 AM

AlanY, is 9 July the last date LYB must decide? or is it 20 July? or neither?

This is the 1st time the Russian women did it? Then I supposed in future IOC will have to impose limit on them.

You know,CHN's paddlers are even more dominant than her shuttlers winning all the medals in every category, so much so the limit for table-tennis is strictly two, no concession for three.

The longer LYB refuses to reveal the players, the less chance I see China will win gold now in WS.

He is indirectly destroying the players' morale except for WSX's.

It's not helping WYH and WX's cause at all

He has to decide ASAP!!

everyone in the Chinese team knew they just not let the enemies know that in advance. why should they?

Yea, you're right, I believe so too. They know among themselves,just not announced to the rest of the world.

What AlanY said. It's not that hard to figure out.

Ok then I pity the extra player who had to be part of the stunt. Must be painful on the inside.

LYB is then employing strategy #99 from Zhugeliang : Empty City Plot to trick Sima Yi..

But...in this case, who is Sima Yi ??! lollll
