thanks z3048018.
and pics of the press conference (2008/11/11)

**jhirata** · 11-11-2008, 04:47 PM

While Ogura aims for London 2012, Shiota decided to simply continue year by year.
They said they have different aims.

They are said to continue playing until the 28th of November.

unfortunately during that press conference , it had been some good and bad news..

the good news is-- they will continue to play

the bad news is- they will be continue to play but with different partners as soon as the ongoing National Championships is over...this shocked me!!

**kimir** · 11-12-2008, 02:00 PM

dun they get along with each other?

**ants** · 11-12-2008, 09:05 PM

Both of them are best of friends. They just feel that the time has come for them to explore other things and play with different partners since both agree that they can't improve no more as a pair. So playing with different partners and doing Something fresh and a challenge that they can take would probably prolong their badminton career.

Like what i've mentioned... both of them are best of friends. Thats why they can make that decision without any ill feeling. To make things better, both of them work in the same company Sanyo.
Its just that each of them their direction in life is changing after Olympics. They dont blame each other because of their performance after their dissapointment outing in the Beijing Olmypics.

They still have fun playing with each other and against each other. I've seen them playing against each other. Both still respect each other.

For all of you fans out there.. this is not a serious matter. Dont make it a fuss. Just relax and stay cool.

Yes you're right, they are very nice and cute when screaming. I've seen them in Indonesia Open 2008.

erm, actually reiko/ogura split is not by their coach`s choice..if you read the whole article..
its their choice.
therefore, KKK/TBH,REXY and PJB,KO/RS case is not the same
