Date: 7-14 July 2013 Venue: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia Team Indonesia: BS - Ihsan Maulana Mustofa, Fikri Ihsandi Hadmadi, Mohd Bayu Panghistu, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting GS - Hanna Ramadini, Ruselli Hartawan, Fitriani, Intan Dwi Jayanti BD - Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Arya Maulana Aldiartama, Yantoni Edy Saputra/Arsya Isnanu Ardi Putra, Rian Swastedian/Fajar Alfian GD - Rosyita Eka Putri Sari/Setyana Mapasa, Uswatun Khasanah/Masita Mahmudin, Febriani Endar Kusumawati/Della Augustia Surya XD - Rian Swastedian/Masita Mahmudin, Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho/Setyana Mapasa, Fajar Alfian/Febriani Endar Kusumawati, Arsya Isnanu Ardi Putra/Della Augustia Surya
Surprising lineup in BD and XD with the coaches preferring to pair up Kevin and Arya again and Rafi only competing in XD. Both Kevin and Rosyita also not in XD. Hmmm.....
Strong lineup by other countries in BD and XD as expected with some familiar names like: Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen, Wang Chi Lin/Tien Tzu Chieh, Choi Sol Kyu/Chae Yoo Jung, Liu Yuchen/Hiang Dongping.
1 is good enough as this year's XD is relatively weaker. Hoping for Kevin to get the title with Arya.
I will be in SG and INA during the tourney, so, will not be able to follow it closely due to the ineternet access in INA in particular....sigh.
Hmmm... Kota Kinabalu? Not too far from Jakarta... I wonder if I should just go there for the semifinals...
INA have a good chance to get QF spot in all dept. not brave enough to predict if INA have a good chance for SF spot. hahaha we are quite weak this year..... the weakest AJC team in the last 4 years i think. 2011 is also weak, but we still have Ricky, Della, Suci, Tiara, Jones but i have a high hope on Rosyita/Setyana and Kevin/Arya. They are capable in deliver surprise in this tourney. Raffi/Setyana might do it too. atleast, we can get 2 bronze. that's my hope.
this time, INA have some interesting talents for the future... Muhammad Bayu Pangisthu... this boy has rapidly improved in the last 1 year... have a great style to watch as he has an outstanding skill. this year might not be his time, but next year, watch out of him Yantoni Edy Saputra.... a very talented youngster wth unique talent and only 16 yo... have a star aura (like Ow Yao Han).... will be the 1st MD left hander star from INA Fitriani.... Talented but limited height... she is interesting with her nice and fast footwork. her service reminds many of INA Bad fans with Susi Susanti. i am serious. but only her service though Rosyita Eka Putri.... with Setyana Mapasa, she can spring some surprise here. a new hope for INA WD. Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo... nothing can be said anymore. definitely best INA MD telent....
fitriani is good... but i think she couldnt compete at the higher level because of her heights, but i hope at least she will be indonesian yip puiyin....
The entry list can be found here: http://badmintonasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/BAC-U19-ENTRIES-13062013-v1.xls It should be noted that China's child prodigy He BingJiao will compete in WS. It would be interesting to see how she will do. She was the GS and GD champions at last year's Asia U15 & U17 Championships, competing in the U17 division.
I think that i have seen the draw date as 25-6-2013. Please anybody know about the draw announced?? I could not find the draw. Anybody else??

I know this link.. But i could not find the draw released.. Its empty... But the scheduled date of the draw was 25-6-2013
I've no doubt if He Bingjiao were a non-CHN player, her member association would be most happy to have her competing in both the junior and adult international circuits, just like the Thai child prodigies and others. But in China with so many older and senior world class top players ahead of her, she can only bide her time no matter how good she is now. Even LXR and Sun Yu,for example, only got to play in the adult international tournaments when they were 18/19 years old.
