Age limit in this event between 14 - 18 yeras old. There are some known players: Busanan Ongbamrungphan (THA), Puttita Supajirakul (THA), Akane Yamaguchi (JPN), Liang Xioyu (SIN), Jonathan Christie (INA). This is day 3rd for badminton event, but I can't find any thread in BC. So that, feel free to discuss
for Indonesia Team, this was for the yesterday result : MS: M. Bayu Pangisthu vs Chung Y (HKG) : 21-15 21-18 Jonatahan Christie vs PUAVARANUKROH D (PRK) : 21-6 21-14 WS (all lose in 1st round): Fitriani vs Li MH (TPE) : 17-21 13-21 Ruseli Hartawan vs Qin J : 18-21 19-21 XD: M. Bayu Pangisthu/Fitriani vs Alcala MS/Inalyo E (PHI) : 21-15 14-21 23-21 Jonatahan Christie/Ruseli Hartawan vs Koga M/Akane Y : 12-21 12-21
Surprised to learn that CHN WS Qin Jinjing beat Busanan for gold, 2-1(19-21,21-17,21-16) in 83 mins. In the 1/8 Finals, Qin JJ also defeated Liang Xiaoyu, 2-0 (21-11,22-20) in 43 mins. Looks like Qin JJ is a player to watch out for in the future.
Not bad for CHN. In MS, Shi Yuqi beat the 16-yr-old INA sensation Jonathan Christie in the QF before finally taking bronze and Lin Guipu, another Lin, won gold.
