Mr. Li.. Guess u havent answer our queries here.. -- > Base on qualification/ invitation basis. The title of this championship confused many...
Hmm, the schedule of this invitational event will clash with Idul Fitri Festival (13 & 14 October/07) or Lebaran in Indonesia. Who will represent INA to test Olympic Venue next month?
Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium (Badminton and Rhythmic Gymnastic venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games)
Thanks.. ..for the pics, LI De Quan..Just curious, i notice there are 2 buildings. Which one is the actual Gymnasium?? And what's the other building??..
Looking at the draws, its just a CHINA NATIONAL TOURNAMENT. The only foreigner participating is Petya Nedeltcheva/Diana Dimova
True.. What is the propose of organizing this events?? Should let the whole World (Badminton Nations) have a chances to have a try & play in this "Gonna-Be" Gynasiums for Olympic Badminton Events rite?
It is not interesting at all..this is just Chinese National tournaments...may be INA refused to go due to Moslem's new year but no other nations...one German, One MAS XD.........something is wrong here, no Hong Kong players either........just want to know how they invited, how many they refused to come to try out.........
According to drawing from BWF website, there's only several foreign players that invited by the organizer : - MS -- Nguyen Tien Minh (VIE) ; Juergen Koch (AUT) - WS -- Petya Nedeltcheva (BUL) ; Xu Huaiwen (GER) - MD -- None (All Chinese) - WD -- Petya N/Diana Dimova (BUL) - XD -- Koo Kien Keat/Wong Pei Tty (MAS) What specific criteria for the participant? None INA/DEN/KOR/JPN shuttlers but minor bdm countries such as Vietnam,Bulgaria and Austria. Any reason for that?!
"Haven't been paired up for years?" Is that just an expression or do you mean it? To refresh your memory,Koo KK/Wong PT were semi-finalists at last year's WC.I think the pairing broke off before the Asian Games
