Peter Gade

A great sportmanship is Peter.
He showed his great sportmanship and fair-play in the Sudirman Cup presentation ceremory.
During the medal distribution he noticed that the Korean Jang Young Soo didn't get any bronze medal. He simply took his medal off and gave it to Jang.
What a great sportmanship.

Yep, Peter Gade is a true example of sportsmanship!

Yup, saw him once during SG open. He's a real nice guy and girls just simply can't get enough of his autograph. I hope i could go this yr.

Anyway even if he lose a game, he will still leave happily. Anyway, does he seem to be smiling all the time when he play baddy?

Peter Gade never stops to impress me. in fact, the Danish team have produced many great sportmen over the years.

but i cannot help but to wonder how many more years will we see him play.

he is AWESOME! i cant imagine any other player doing the same, but the question is, why didnt they provide enough bronze medals?

such a shame

he is a good example of an excellent player.
I will support him all the time and I hope I can see him join 2008 Olympic Game in Beijing.And I will cheer for him just like this Sudirman Cup.
he is perfect!

I think Peter should get a sportmanship award.

**jkusmanto** · 05-25-2005, 04:18 AM

Just remember me when I was a kid in the middle of year 70's.
At that time Rudy Hartono was a national hero for Indonesia.
Every time we saw him played on TV, every body bought a racket to play badminton. For the poor, they made a wood-plant to replace racket.

At that time, it was usual to cross over to your opponent court to shake hand after a match.
One thing that I never forget from Rudy is : When Rudy won the match, he ran over to his opponent court to shake his opponent hand. Sometime he slaps the shoulder of his opponent. If he saw that his opponent was diep in a disappointment, he took a few minutes to talk to him.
Rudy was a great sportman.

And now after 30 years, when I red the news over what Peter has done.
I am very proud to be Peter fans. He is also a great sportman of today.

I just wondering, why the other players didn't do this ?

sport live broadcast is something very very

They can only put limited players onto the OFFICIAL team list, and I believe Jang Young Soo is the third Koren MS player, that's why.

I can give you two examples: Taufik Hidayat and Lin Dan. I think Yoo Yong Sung also belong to this list at times, especially during the 2000 Sydney Olympic in the Men's Doubles Final against Tony Gunawan and Candra Wijaya whenever he made a winning shot. Other than these players, the rest are okay with some being awesome in sportmanship like Peter Gade himself.

Yes, I don't find Taufik arrogant.
The SC interviews don't count in my opinion, as these were multi-translated oriented interviews...
Never seen him arrogant on court.

His on-court behavior is okay but his attitude when he's off-court is a little bit unlikeable. I remember he complained that PBSI organization taking a large percentage of his winning prize money in tournanemts right after he won the Olympic and of course there were those rumors too but it is not certain that he said it so I won't hold them against him.

But beside that, he's okay. In fact, Peter Gade admits that Taufik is a great player and doesn't seem to mind losing to him in the Surdiman Cup. It is another story when it comes to Lin Dan.

i agree wif u...i find lin dan behaving very proud after he wins a match...
taufik is different...sumtime he might show attitude during matches but tats only when he was treated unfair...
