    If you're talking about HKO it was the first set :). Shortest match I've never seen. Unless you're talking about some other occasion.

    Chen Hong vs Lin Dan

    I think it was the second game....Chen Hong had problems with his knee, and told the umpire he gives up, and the umpire just said:
    "LIN TAN : RETEIRED"...this was very funny ,,everybody knows difference between lin dan and chen hong

    it was Lin Dan vs Taufik when the umpire was announcing the players, he said 'On my right, Lin Dan... China' then shaked his head :D when he was ment to say 'China, represented by Lin Dan' :D

    Umpires can be funny too :D but this isn't that funny ;) :) :D

    Taufik, one of my favourite players, picked at his nose several times during a few close-up frames. At the same match, a China coach can be seen sticking a pen into his ear while walking around on the next court. Although the match with Eric Pang of the Netherlands was in itself very exciting, the repeated "cavity exploration" just ruined it for me!

    Would have been better, if Gao actually whispered or screamed "yours" to Zhang Jun when she didn't notice Zhang was already on the floor.

    It happened before at where I play, and one person in the front screamed "yours" to his partner whom lost balance in the back of the court and felt on the floor... we laughed so hard watching the shuttle hit the floor, and the expressions on their face(completely confused) was pricelss.:D

    anyone see gail emms miss the easiest shot in the world from a foot infront of her face during commonwealth games?... it was falling right on top of her head and she fanned on it and goes "Oh Sh*t!" then started laughing in embarrasment, even the umpire and commentators were laughing.

    did anyone see nova widanto in the world clup xd final - change his racket in the middle of the longest rally in the match? ... i guess he broke his strings on the 3rd or 4th smash then after a net shot runs off the court and grabs another racket ... then wins the point after another 30 shots.. Makes me laugh everytime i watch it. :D

    Chandra Wijaya did the same thing playing against the Danes in 2005 Malaysia or Singapore Open. Broke his string, ran off the court, get another racquet, came back in and defended serveral smashes.

    A buddy of mine let the shuttle get behind him. He turned around so that his back was facing the net. He tried to hit the shuttle above his head. He then followed though the shuttle and hit himself in the face.

    I was trying so hard to not bust out laughing

    I once saw a bird end up sitting on top of the net and not fall on either side. The shuttle auctically balanced itself ontop of the net.

    Then my friend came up to the bird and hit the bird off of the net for a winner.

    It was SHOCKING.:eek:

    I did it once, with a netshot...freakish to see it happen before your eyes...though my opponent decided to whipe it off the tape, such a pitty;)

    other funny moments: fun-game practise (monday morning) and we were doign 3vs3 doubles on one court. I managed to get the shuttle right behind the front player, and one (of the two) rear-players rammed the shuttle full on his bum, from a foot away....
    the front-guy was the younegr brother of the mrs. that hit it there...I was crying, rolling on the floor, gaspign for breath....actually, everybody was..
