park, bong and lee cover all the korean people i know

This is all true. Park is the 3rd most common family name after Kim and "Lee" (which actually has no "L" when pronounced in South Korea). Park Chung-hee is the ex-"president" you mention.

Oddly, three other "athletes" named Park are far more famous here than the two badminton Parks you mention: the pitcher named Park Chan-ho and the golfers Se Ri Pak (just a difference in romanization) and Grace Park. Still, you did say in "sports" so omitting golfers and baseball players is logical.

Incidentally, the name of today's semi-finalist is Park Sung Hwan not Park Sun Hwan.

Gao Ling is OK, she said it in general terms and right after she lost so it was still in the heat of the moment and she was the one on the losing side. When is the last time we heard positive statement from someone who just lost the match anyway? I think most fan get upset not because of the bad calls rather the intentional walk?
Stay calm and enjoy together tonight again, I am ready, are you all?

Anyway, is part of the home court advantage as Gao Ling stated the best about this issue :" if Olympic happen tomorrow in Peking and the same thing happen, are they going to walk off the court too?" and she laughed.

She and ZB still lost after all the helping by the line/service judges, now thats embarrassing.

Anyone know where I can download his matches? Too bad badminton isn't popular enough to have torrents on it.

Two questions. 1) Who is "bong"? 2) Didn't you say you'd been to CWC, which has hosted Koreans with a variety of surnames in recent years?

Then when he beat Hashim, what was written about him on this site ? nothing.

And today he beats Kenneth Jonassen, again not a mention at all. Please give this man credit.

I am a big Lin Dan and was shocked as anyone to see LD lose..... but it just goes to show that it wasn't a fluke ! and it really takes someone at the top of their form and game to beat LD on the day.

I just hope he goes all the way and wins the men's single ! I don't know who he will play tomorrow but I will be rooting for the Giant Killer ! as the say....

If u wanna create a thread for someone, please make sure u spell the name correctly, especially something appears on the title.

It should be PARK Sung Hwan.

BTW, I am rooting for PSH tonite and wanna see a PSH-LCW final.

2day he will face bao chun lai n bao is super duper fresh!!

Yeah, Park Sung Hwan has created big surprising in this week but still believe LCW is the best candidate to crown MS title here. Last week, Park has beaten BCL straight sets in Top Four Invitational tourney and he lost to LCW in rubber games.

Just little bit flash back -- INA also has one giant killer, Hermawan Susanto who crashed China ace Zhao Jianhua in Barcelona OG 1992.
