it will be held in stadium badminton Kuala Lumpur (KLBA) in Cheras. I wonder who will represent Malaysia in this event.anyone have news.

**yannie** · 06-27-2006, 04:06 PM

KL? Surely many people here from BC can go and watch.
Is this an under 19 tournament?

**badMania** · 06-29-2006, 08:01 AM

Hmm..after looking at the list of participants...Tommy Sugiarto is surprisingly not there

He would be the highest ranked participant if he is there.

Some notable names in the draws:
Saina Nehwal, Jang Soo Young, Xing Aiying (singles and doubles, with Shinta Mulya Sari), Pia Zebadiah, Lydia Cheah Li Ya, Wang Yihan, Lee Yong Dae (in doubles),

Anyone knows how much is the entrance fee? ...WHo will represent MAs for Boys and Girls ?....Thanks

**hcyong** · 06-29-2006, 09:41 PM

I didn't know Lee Yong-Dae is only 18. I think he's gonna be a star, like Park Joo-Bong and Kim Dong Moon.

I don't know about others but Arif Latis is top seed

Lok Chong Chieh and Vountus Indra Mawan are also competing and of course, Lydia Cheah.

Team Indonesia is drawn to play India on Tuesday. A tough job for them since Saina Nehwal is expected to play in Women's Singles and probably Doubles. Pia or Bellaetrix to play her?

No Tommy Sugiarto makes it even harder for Team Indonesia to have any realistic chance of winning the mixed-team event.

**beijing2008** · 07-01-2006, 02:29 PM

china will win the mix-team-championsships!!

why does tommy not participate?? how come that arif latif is top seed?? china's men's singles players r better for sure! lu qicheng already won it last year.
