YKB lost to Lin Dan three times this year. In HK Open, he lost 18-21 and 20-22 to LD and 18-21, 17-21 to LD in China Master. Just base on the score points and results, he is not that far away from Lin Dan. Beside LCW, I hope he could be one of the Malaysian player whom could beat LD one day.
gosh, that's not something i expected to hear from a chinese citizen, or are you a foreign expat living in china (which would explain a lot)?
You are right. If you happen to come to Shanghai and have some free time to play badminton, pls remember to leave me a message.
The first one is from thestar.com.my during ABC this year. He lost to Sony i think.And the second one is from Badminton Planet. Btw he's kinda..discreet? How old is he anyway?
I agree Yeoh kay bin is really really discret .. And he seems quite strong .. nobody knows why people don't speak too much abt him ?! is he training with misbun ?
ok i found the news 25 years old. Young indeed. i thought he's old too, yannie news from www.thestar.com.my Friday August 18, 2006 Badminton: Bet is on Kay Bin By RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: Back-up men's singles shuttler Yeoh Kay Bin is set to get the biggest break of his career when the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) name their 10-man team for the Doha Asian Games. Two players – Lee Chong Wei and Mohd Hafiz Hashim – are assured of places in the BAM's plan to opt for four singles and six doubles players to form the team for the Games scheduled for Dec 1-15. With not much options left in the elite team, the 25-year-old Kay Bin has placed himself as one of the frontrunners based on his improved showings in international tournaments this year. The others vying for places are Kuan Beng Hong, James Chua, Sairul Amar Ayob and Mohd Roslin Hashim. KAY BIN: Reached the quarter-finals of the China Masters and Thailand Open this year Veteran Wong Choong Hann is back doing light training after undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles Tendon in May. The BA of Malaysia's coaching and training committee, headed by Datuk Nadzmi Mohd Salleh, will meet today to finalise the team but a decision will only be announced after the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) endorse the list at the end of the month. Although Kay Bin is ranked lower than Beng Hong and Sairul in the world standings, national chief coach Yap Kim Hock said the world number 27th-ranked player had showed good progress compared to all the other back-up shuttlers. “Since coming under the charge of Li Mao (the singles coach from China), Kay Bin is playing better. He is giving the higher ranked players a tough time. “He has certainly put himself in contention for a place in the squad for the Asian Games,” said Kim Hock. This year, Kay Bin reached the quarter-finals of the China Masters and the Thailand Open and they were his best achievements in international Open tournaments. But it will be a tight decision to choose between Beng Hong and Sairul for the fourth spot. “Sairul may not be under the BAM banner but we will still give outsiders the chance if they show better results than the BAM players,” said Kim Hock. “Choong Hann is back in training but we have to monitor his progress. We are not sure whether he will be fit for the Games.” Beng Hong is now ranked 24th in the world and Sairul is two rungs below. This year, Sairul made two international quarter-final appearances – in the Philippines and Macau. Kim Hock, however, said that two players from the initial list would be dropped when the final entries by name close on Oct 1. “A country is allowed to name eight players. We may decide to drop two doubles players or decide to send three singles and five doubles shuttlers,” he said. Kay Bin is hoping to impress the selectors by doing well in the Korean Open, which will begin on Wednesday in Seoul. “If I get a place in the Asiad squad, I will be out to justify it with a good showing in the Korean Open. The coach has worked on my speed and I will be out to play a more aggressive game in Seoul,” he said. In the draw released by the International Badminton Federation (IBF), Kay Bin is expected to meet either Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand or Indonesia Sony Dwi Kuncoro in the second round.
