Yang Yang still owns a percentage in the business he set-up Yang Yang racquets etc. But unfortunately he sold a major portion of it off after his business partner didn't put in that much effort and business wasn't going as well. Understand from a friend that is why he is back in China running coaching (Gunagzhou school)

Tang XianHu's era might be skills requirement only?? Is he saying that Tang XianHu, Hou JiaChang and co. only did some drills to 'perfect' the skills. If the writer is from China, this guy must have been sleeping all these years.

Or are current players Lin, Bao, Taufik power style only. Maybe not sleeping, can't even see properly.

Cooler, I am perfectly OK with your views on badminton. I am from the 'old' school and from 'outdated' coaches, but I still prefer mine over yours - skills, speed, power, accuracy and determination. They are all EQUALLY important.

I agree with you, man. Put Ben Johnson on steroids against me, and I think I will win hands down (at least I hope...)

YY has relatives in Malaysia Johor I think according to my coach former Malaysian national player.

I remember Yang Yang and Zhao are same age. If Yang Yang retired in 1991, he was only 26

probably still at his peak.

Can anyone confirm whether Zhao Jian Hua ever reside in Malaysia? My Uncle told me that we used to had a badminton professional living next to my house in Malaysia, Perak. He told me the player is called zhao jian hua

.

As my uncle is not into badminton sport, he can't confirm whether he's the badminton superstar zhao jian hua.

I think he did. I also heard Wu wenkai and Liu Jun were around for a while.

What about Han Jian? I have always been a great admirer of him.
Can someone give an update on him.

Han Jian is still in Malaysia right?? I heard he is coaching at a club and has a very small kid as his disciple. That was perhaps years ago and I am not sure about now.

MAS needs a good MS coach from China to lift the Thomas Cup trophy again. Unfortunately, LM wasnt up to BAM's expectation. who's next?

I doubt Li Yongbo can coach as well as the current great coaches such as Li Mao, Rexy, Park Joo Bong, Morton Frost, Yang Yang, etc... He is a head coach who acts as a main director of the Chinese team.

I guess we can look at him like a team manager.

Hey cooler, be contented being my doubles partner.....our times have past...sigh! but we can pretend to be LD or TH, at least we can dream...hahaha! Tuesday night, no miss is badminton night, see more video and come to court prepared, hahaha! LO very L!!!

**alfa-2** · 03-23-2007, 10:09 PM

why dont BWF set up a senior tournaments for all these retired former world champion and call it FWC.....F = former. Those who had won important tournaments during their time can participate. Just imagine how much we love it when TG/CW came back?

The question is who will u put your bet on?
