but still hope it's LD who will win it. he needs it more.

hehe

I hope we will see a 3 set thriller!!! If so, idc who wins.
LD is just magic and LCW deserves it being such a great player and no.1 for a long time. Winning many SS(P) events, but he deserves to win one of the big titles and the Olympics are the biggest!!

Super Dan totally blacked out the springy latok then. LOL

the point is, latok may be very good. and the gap between him and the rest of badminton world is huge. i had never expected chen long to beat him.

but Super Dan is in totally different class. the gap between him and latok is very wide.
really depends on his motivation.
latok was pawned each time that it matters.

sorry latok and boleh-land dreamers...enjoy ur silver.

hey yong, LCW's attitude will give him a chance..It will be LD's attitude/motivation which will decide the result (if LCW will win it or not)..If LD decides to be a nice/generous guy, who knows, your LCW will win it..

Because of the disgrace that involved the Chinese WD, I voted LCW instead of LD.
Even people in my office that don't know what is badminton, talked about the DQs.

You are cooking up the standard excuse for LD s loss.

It helps to promote badminton.................quite effective !!

Again, there's just no way LCW can win this. You can quote me forever if I'm wrong. If LCW wins this, it will truly be the end of the world. All the statistics are against LCW - for example, he's never beaten LD more than once in a calender year.

**visor** · 08-04-2012, 08:46 PM

51 LD to 47 LCW. Great, the jinx is back on!

So the standard excuse for LCW's possible loss is "lack of attitude or fire" during the moment when it truly matters then.

No, it's because he needed stem cell injections for a severe ankle injury, just 10 weeks out from this final. If LD doesn't win, it would actually be quite shameful for him and for China. As I said, everything is against LCW - statistics, mentality, history, and even you hehe.

**epaphroditus** · 08-04-2012, 09:39 PM

All the best to LCW for gold!

And on the other hand the hopes of the LCW fans against LD are based on the fact that LD has achieved so much in his career that it has become "cool or hip" to hate him in favour of LCW.

The greater the achievement a person has, the more eager it is that people want to see him fall.

It's basically a reflection on the sportsman or sportswoman. In tennis, Roger Federer has achieved so much, and yet you will likely see a significant proportion of the British public cheering him to win Gold over Andy Murray (despite Murray being British!).

It has been amazing for pages of posts that people have expressed their predictions and hopes without too much baiting or personal attacks. Forumers have strong feelings but have kept their comments on the lighter side. There is truth in your words, honorable Blitzzards, but it would be sad if this thread deteriorates into a discussion of whose fans 'hate' whom.After all what we all want is a good honest match of the highest calibre badminton that these heroes can produce. :-)
