I think it is good to have competing brands sponsoring badminton teams, players and tournaments. The products sponsored would obviously be shuttle cocks, racquets, shoes, shirts, shorts, wrist & head bands, cash prizes, etc. For too long, one company has monopolized the sponsoring of badminton and as a result the cash prizes for the winners have been rather paltry. This is especially so for the runners-up and the losing semi-finalists. Without their respective countries’ financial support, it would be difficult for the latter to survive solely on their cash prizes. This is unlike in tennis, also a racquet sport, where the good players are doing rather well and most tennis players are not state-sponsored. The organizers may say that TV stations do not pay as well for telecasting badminton matches as for tennis matches but I believe that badminton viewing is on the rise. In the recently concluded Sudirman Cup tournament, internet surfing by Malaysians of the tournament topped the number one spot for all viewing in the week of the tournament.

China’s Li Ning is now making inroads into the sponsoring of badminton. Victor, a major sponsor in the past is now more visible and so is Wilson. I just hope that things will get better for the players soon.

wow truly amazing, how could i have missed this, i started playing badminton a few months ago, being vietnamese myself i wondered if there was someone like him and often imagined myself growing up, somehow become one of the first to represent, but i guess i'm too late haha, eh i'm actually quite bad as i first started playing for my school, trying to improve by next year.

Hats off to Nguyen Tien Minh, the giant killer!
He has finally showed his grit and mettle by beating the World No. 1

Here's a glimpse of the fight that he put up at the same venue last year.

when u wish 'all the best' in your PAW post for LCW, i think u shouldn't use 'all' next time as it could be detrimental to your PAWs. U should just stick to 'boleh !!!'

I did record the last few points of the 2nd and 3rd set of this match. Will be uploading to Youtube soon.

The video quality is quite decent i think (but don't expect DVD quality, perhaps next year? ). I used my camera's video record function.
