just wonder why luck is not on her side....why until now she has not win any big big tournament like all england, world champion, and of course olympic....

some ppl say her talent is much greater than susi suanti

furthermore...she has been in the top 10 of the WS ranking for more than a decade years since 1994 along with players like camilla martin, zhang ning, and wang chen.....mayb now she has dropped out from top 10 bcoz she took a very very long rest after olympic.....

one very outstanding thing about this lady is that....she was ranked as the No1 WS player at the end of year 1996......she was on top of super legendary players like bang shoo hyun, ye zhaoying,gong zhicao, camilla martin,zhang ning, susi susanti...and we should know that during that time, ye, gong,bang, susi were still playing at very best level......

and ....if she can last until Beijing olympic...no doubt she is going to have the longest badminton career in history

no doubt Mia has a lot of talent. for years in Indonesia, she was living under the shadow of Susi. and after Susi retired, family tragedies and personal issues causes her to cut her ties with PBSI and moved to the Netherlands. she fought back these bad incidents and eventually became one of the top players in the world.

however, as far as we can tell, she is unable to repeated win big tournaments like the Chinese can do mainly because of her fitness. as we know, the Chinese are ultrafit and can run for hours and hours. Mia has the problem of lasting less than two sets in a match and eventually losing after that. she did managed to improve her fitness by a large margin in 2004, we can see that she outran a lot of Chinese to win the Japan Open title. she came very close in the Olympics final, but against a very fit and smart Zhang Ning, Zhang exploited and expose Mia's weakness once again to win the Olympics Gold title.

remember, there are 3 fundamental "s" in badminton, Strokes, Strategy and Stamina. if you lose out in one against your opponent, you lose the match.

though most of us really wan her to win the gold medal bcoz of her dedication to this game.....but....her lost in athens was also a good thing.....

if she were to win the gold...no doubt..she will retire.....after the lost...she said she wanted to try one more time in beijing....and with this...i can guarantee li yongbo cant sleep peacefully during big tournament like 5 star open, all england and world championship ......

with her age now..about 25...i think it is still perfectly good...coz camilla also began to outplay chinese women at this age.....

Don't worry, the crowd support Mia. I could hear the crowd cheers for Mia when she met Wang Chen on the final. "Ayo Mia!" Too bad MIA was not on top form and lost to Wang Chen. It seem to me that the crowd have come to term that Mia no longer plays for Indonesia.

in year 1996???? at that time Gong Zhichao still unknown...

that's why when Mia rank no.1 in the end of 1996,, Gong Zhichao still not on her prime...

Gong Zhichao era is after Bang soo hyun....
Gong started when susi on way to retired,,,
