So who gives a **** that Niluka won't perform in Super Series? (he doesn't even compete in them) What we know and care is that he just took out Kenichi Tago in the group stage of the Olympics!

dang, just learning of this result! Had actually momentarily considered pawing it on anticipation Tago would be half-assing the group stage ... Also just learning the group only consists of two

... Some people acting like it's free travel and lodging to Super Series events without considering the financial situation of small federations ...

Seriously,I feel Tago has to go full-time professional but can he give up his daytime job? JPN is a rich country,still the third largest economy in the world - true she's not out of the 20+ years recession yet - but surely they can get a sponsor for such a talented potential world-beater, such a waste.

-PROUD TO BE SRI LANKAN-

And hope that Niluka will continue to perform well. It would bring back the popularity of Badminton in Sri Lanka.

This is Niluka's and Sri Lanka's day of glory, who cares if he doesn't win another tournament. He created one of the biggest upsets ever. We play for the present and not for the future.

**jasonmarc** · 07-30-2012, 05:43 AM

Wow, Tago is out......it make me worry for the unfit LCW.

Well done Sri Lanka, Today is your day....Cheer !!

**Gigabit** · 07-30-2012, 05:44 AM

This is like Kevin Cordon winning over Chen Long a year ago.....

No, Kenichi Tago also fails to progress in Round 1 last year.

He failed again in the same place.....DAMN IT!!

We need Niluka to bring back the popularity of Badminton amongst school kids in Sri Lanka.

Tomorrow, I am sure some school kids would go and buy rackets and shuttlecocks, and start playing Badminton.

Not only Tago in shock, BCers also in shock

Tago is one of my fav MS. Good job by the Sri Lanka player

**repentedboy** · 07-30-2012, 06:16 AM

WS just saw the exit of the dark horse: Carolina Marin.

There's no one is capable of scoring an upset other than Firdasari.

Malaysian players especially men's singles are immune to upsets and unknown players.

When Kevin Cordon takes on Lee Chong Wei, i cant see how vulnerable he is to any unknown players.

Easy for Lee Chong Wei unless his ankle gets injured again.

**Justin L** · 07-30-2012, 06:29 AM

For sure, Tago's shock loss must be reverberating throughout this forum if not the entire badminton world.

Ville Lang must be thinking : I will create a bigger upset to make history by downing the mighty Lee CW. Watch out! Here I come!

What could be more dangerous than a player who is willing to 'die' for it? Still, I'm confident Lee CW will have a safe passage but his likely next round opponent,Simon Santoso,is not one to be trifled with. Best of luck to him, Lee,of course.
