汤尤杯见证国羽27载血泪 欲再捧三杯铸中国王朝 2008-5-9 《羽毛球》杂志 中羽网 引言：1936年2月，毛泽东主席在陕北清涧县写下了“江山如此多娇，引无数英雄竞折腰”的豪迈诗句。可曾想，数十年后诞生的汤尤杯赛果真成为世界羽坛一项令无数英雄竞折腰的经典赛事。翻开汤尤杯赛的历史，世界羽坛数十年的变迁历历在目，众多球队的兴衰荣辱跃然眼前。 汤尤杯创立初期：印尼男队、日本女队风光无限 相比未满弱冠的苏迪曼杯赛，“六十耳顺”的汤姆斯杯和“五十知天命”的尤伯杯显然是当今羽坛最具权威性的男女团体赛事。虽然诞生时间略有差异，但两项杯赛却都是顺应世界羽毛球运动发展潮流而产生的。 近代羽毛球运动最初在英国比较流行，但到了上世纪30年代，羽毛球运动已经在许多国家盛行，举办世界羽毛球团体赛已是大势所趋。1939年，时任国际羽联主席的英国人乔治•汤姆斯提议举办世界男子羽毛球团体锦标赛，并表示将为这一比赛捐赠一座奖杯，这便是汤姆斯杯的由来。 由于第二次世界大战爆发，举办汤姆斯杯的计划胎死腹中，这座奖杯被锁在欧洲某银行地下室的保险柜中达八年之久。直到1948年，国际羽联终于举办了第一届汤姆斯杯赛，被尘封已久的汤姆斯杯这才得以见天日。 当时的汤姆斯杯赛是一项跨年度比赛，第一年先分区进行预赛，第二年通常在上届盟主所在地进行决赛。首届汤姆斯杯决赛于1949年2月在英国举行，刚刚崛起的马来亚队以8比1击败丹麦队，成为汤杯的第一位拥有者，之后在1951年和1954年，他们又两度成功卫冕。 1958年在新加坡举行的第四届汤杯决赛具有划时代的意义，第一次参赛的印尼队以松尼维尔、陈友福为主力，在决赛中以6比3挫败马来亚，首夺汤杯，并就此赢得“羽毛球王国”的美誉。此后的二十年间，印尼队成为汤杯的最佳拥有者，除了在1967年的那届比赛中被从马来亚更名为马来西亚的球队抢走了一次，直至1979年，汤杯始终稳稳地抱在印尼队手中。 与汤杯相比，作为世界女团锦标赛的尤伯杯赛创办时间稍晚，1957年才举行了首次决赛。当时，各支女队中美国队的实力超强，她们的两员大将戴夫琳和瓦尔纳尔已经联袂在全英赛上称霸多时，因此在首届尤伯杯赛上，美国队顺理成章地捧起尤杯，之后她们又两度卫冕。直到1966年，日本女队异军突起，依靠后来七次夺得全英赛单、双打锦标的汤木博惠以多次获得全英赛双打锦标的高木、竹中和相泽等高手，日本队在尤杯赛上取代美国，成为新的盟主。与之前三度捧杯的美国队相比，日本女队的霸主地位保持得更加长久，在1966年至1981年，她们五捧尤杯，其间唯一能与她们抗衡的只有印尼队，而印尼队也在1975年从日本队手中抢得过一次尤杯。 第十二届汤杯：“无冕之王”创造奇迹 因为历史的原因，在汤尤杯初创时期，中国队无缘登上这个舞台，但是在其他一些比赛中，中国男队曾多次击败当时在汤杯赛上如日中天的印尼队，并因此获得“无冕之王”的称号。 到了1981年5月，原来的两大组织世界羽联与国际羽联宣布合并，中国队终于得以参加包括汤尤杯在内的众多世界大赛。1982年5月10日至21日，第十二届汤姆斯杯决赛阶段的比赛在英国展开，中国队第一次登上了汤杯的舞台，并从印尼人手中抢得汤杯，并向世人证明了“无冕之王”的强大。 那一届的汤杯赛，中国队的参与引起了印尼队的高度重视，为了守住汤杯，他们调集了所有的精兵强将，除了当时如日中天的“天王”林水镜，还召回了曾八夺全英赛男单冠军的32岁老将梁海量。在最后与中国队的决赛中，印尼队在排兵布阵上想尽了一切办法，遣出了手中所有的“王牌”，但是历经两天的苦战，汤杯还是生生被由栾劲、韩健领衔的中国队夺走，也正是凭借着在汤杯赛上的出色表现，栾劲的“勇猛”、韩健的“牛皮糖”精神开始被广为传诵。 当时的汤杯决赛采取9盘5胜制，分两天时间完成。5月20日先进行四盘较量，中国队大比分1比3落后。5月21日下午6点，最后的决战上演，整个伦敦皇家艾伯特大厅座无虚席，前来观战的英国女王表示，如果比赛在8点前分出胜负，她将亲自为获胜队颁发汤姆斯杯。此时，印尼队有说有笑，笃信自己已稳操胜券，而中国队则没人作声。 首盘单打，23岁的栾劲迎战梁海量，这是两人之间的第一次交锋。尽管梁海量经验老到，但此时的他毕竟已过而立之年。面对在场上略显老迈的对手，年轻气盛的栾劲勇字当头，苦战三局胜出。 栾劲的胜利极大地鼓舞了接下来出场的韩健。在与印尼“天王”林水镜的争夺中，韩健的防守固若金汤，一个个漂亮的海底捞月般的救球令观众叹羡不已，连梁海量都惊呼“神了！” 在韩健击败林水镜之后，中国队将大比分扳成3比3。最后的三盘较量，陈昌杰和孙志安/姚喜明又相继建功。中国队终以5比4逆转印尼队，高高捧起汤姆斯杯。 英国队领队赛后评论说，这是汤杯四十年以来水平最高、最精彩、最扣人心弦的比赛，能够在1比3落后的情况下连扳4分，中国队创造了奇迹。 上世纪八十年代：汤尤杯迎来中国时代 从1984年开始，汤尤杯由原来的每三年一届改为每两年一届，并决定在同时同地举行。比赛办法也由原来的九盘五胜制改为五盘三胜制，先进行三盘单打，后是两盘双打。1984年，汤尤杯赛于5月7日至18日在马来西亚首都吉隆坡展开。 首次参加尤伯杯的中国女队派出了世锦赛女单冠军李玲蔚、世界杯女单冠军韩爱平、全英赛女双冠军林瑛/吴迪西以及徐蓉/吴健秋等名将出战，实力鼎盛的中国队以四战不失一盘的战绩杀进决赛。在决赛中，中国队又直以5比0完胜英格兰队，捧起了尤伯杯。从结果看，中国队在决赛中赢得相当轻松，但过程却略有惊险。 决赛前，英格兰队19岁的小将特洛克向李玲蔚发下战书，称要与李玲蔚在决赛中一决高低。但是，决赛前一天，李玲蔚不慎扭伤了膝关节，疼痛难忍，连走路都是一瘸一拐的。得知特洛克下战书后，李玲蔚心里很着急，中国队主教练陈福寿也劝她放弃比赛。但是，李玲蔚想：如果我不上场，对方会认为我心虚怯场。 “养兵千日，用兵一时”，李玲蔚选择了坚持。比赛前，她让队医帮她把受伤的膝关节包扎好，然后戴上护膝，冲上场去与对手较量。在场上，李玲蔚英勇无比，头顶扣杀，网前搓球，长扣短吊，打得特洛克难以招架。11比2、11比3，仅用18分钟，李玲蔚便赢得胜利。在得知李玲蔚是带伤参赛后，特洛克肃然起敬。 在这一届的汤杯决赛上，中国队再度迎来印尼队。令人遗憾的是，这一次中国队最终以2比3惜败，将汤杯交回到印尼队手中。 两年之后，1986年的汤尤杯赛在印尼雅加达举行，逐渐进入鼎盛期的中国男女队此行志在卫冕尤杯、夺回汤杯。与两年前相比，中国女队的主力阵容变化不大，而中国男队中则出现了杨阳、熊国宝、李永波、田秉毅等年轻的面孔。 在比赛中，实力强大的中国女队艳压群芳，顺利卫冕尤伯杯；中国男队年轻选手大放异彩，终于从印尼队手中夺回汤杯。两杯尽收，让中国队成为名副其实的世界最强队，汤尤杯也由此进入中国时代，在之后的两届汤尤杯赛上，中国男女队双双连续捧杯。 上世纪九十年代初：汤尤杯进入诸雄争霸期 随着一批老将的退役和状态下滑，到上世纪90年代初，中国男女队渐渐陷入青黄不接的窘境，引为为傲的整优势逐步消退，在汤尤杯赛上的卫冕之路越走越艰辛。 1990年6月2日，东京体育馆内，在典雅的《英雄凯旋》的乐声中，中国女队教练陈玉娘眼含热泪，从时任国际羽联主席伊恩•帕尔默的手中接过尤伯杯。作为一名带队经历了多届尤杯赛的名教练，陈玉娘这一次如此激动，因为她太清楚中国女队此次夺冠的艰难。 在这届尤伯杯赛前，李玲蔚、韩爱平和林瑛等老将都已挂拍，中国队的尤杯阵容中只有关渭贞一人参加过上届杯赛，其余都是初涉杯赛的新人。 小组赛，中国队以1比4不敌韩国队。这是中国队在近几届尤杯赛上首次遭遇失利，顿时引起一片哗然，有人甚至评论中国队已出现严重危机。这时，稳住军心、多给鼓励、少泼冷水、团结一致、树立信心是最重要的。两位教练陈福寿和陈玉娘分头给队员做思想工作，鼓励她们：“输一场不要紧，小组赛无关大局，不要去想它。坏事会变好事，我们把包袱卸给韩国队背不更好吗？” 失败乃成功之母，在教练的开导下，年轻的中国队员对这句话有了深刻的理解，并将其付诸于实践。决赛中，中国队再度面对韩国队。先前在小组赛输球的三位女单唐九红、黄华和周雷这一次均击败了对手，中国女队艰难地实现了尤杯四连冠。 在中国女队力经艰险走向成功的同时，中国男队也实现了汤杯三连冠，但比赛中人员老化的迹象愈发突出，与结果相比，取胜的过程变得更加艰苦。当时，中国男队的杨阳26岁，熊国宝28岁，赵剑华25岁，他们能否参加两年后的汤姆斯杯赛是个不小的疑问？而此时印尼队的阿迪、魏仁芳，马来西亚的拉•西德克等新人开始崛起，他们的涌现预示着两年后的汤杯，中国队将遭遇更为严峻的挑战。 1992年的汤尤杯赛在马来西亚首都吉隆坡展开，此时的中国队已处在青黄不接最为严重的时期，尤其男队，几员老将赵剑华、李永波、田秉毅已到运动生涯的暮年，而吴文凯、刘军等小将初出茅庐，尚未经过团体大赛的考验。 这一届的汤杯赛，气势最盛的当属东道主马来西亚队，为了在家门口夺回失去日久的汤杯，他们请来了三名已经退役的中国男单高手陈昌杰、韩健、杨阳担当教练，其用意十分明显，就是希望在这三名中国教练的调教，马来西亚队能够战胜中国。 汤杯半决赛，中国队与马来西亚队狭路相逢。首盘单打，赵剑华出人意料地败给了拉•西德克；第二盘双打，李永波/田秉毅又以1比2不敌西德克兄弟。大比分0比2落后，中国队的形势岌岌可危。第三盘单打，小将吴文凯力挽狂澜，战胜傅国强，为中国队争得一线生机。但是，到了第四盘双打，郑昱闽/黄展忠连丢两局，败在谢顺吉/苏明强拍下，1比3，中国队就这样被马来西亚队挡在了决赛大门外。 失利的当晚，在中国队住的酒店的咖啡厅里，男队主教练侯加昌独自一人坐在那里，神情落寞，面前的一杯咖啡或许正是他当时心情的最好写照。 在之后的汤杯决赛中，马来西亚队战胜印尼，如愿捧得汤杯，三位中国队教练也因此被马来西亚媒体大加称赞，而中国这边，对他们却是议论纷纷，有媒体甚至直言，中国队这次是败在中国人手中。 在男队无缘决赛的时候，中国女队则在尤杯决赛中与韩国队进行了一场艰苦卓绝的争斗。前四盘，中国队凭借女单两员大将唐九红和黄华的出色发挥夺得两分，而韩国队则依靠两对双打，与中国队平分秋色。 决胜的第五盘，中国队由18岁的小将叶钊颖迎战沈恩婷。一队成败系于一身的压力对于第一次经历尤杯赛的叶钊颖来说实在太大了，首局，她的发挥严重失常，很快以3比11失利，在对手所得的11分里，竟然有10分是叶钊颖失误送的大礼。第二局前半段，叶钊颖依然不见起色，先是0比3落后，接着奋力赶超后又与对手陷于僵持。正当中国队所有人的心都悬到了嗓子眼的时候，叶钊颖突然爆发，先是在第二局7比8落后时，放胆一搏，连取4分胜出，接着在决胜局又以11比7为中国队拿下致胜一分。此战让中国女队实现了尤杯五连冠，也让叶钊颖一夜成名。 转眼到了1994年汤尤杯赛，此时的中国队刚刚经历了队伍大调整，年仅32岁的李永波成为队伍的领头人，中国队从教练班子到队员也都进行了大面积更新。对于上任后率队参加的第一届汤尤杯赛，李永波并没有过高的奢望，因为他很清楚，以清一色年轻选手出征汤杯的中国男队此时并不具备夺回汤杯的实力，而同样年轻的女队也唯有超水平发挥，才有可能卫冕尤杯。 正如李永波所预料的，在这一届汤杯赛上，中国男队再次在半决赛中败给马来西亚队，而中国女队虽然杀入决赛，但最终仍以2比3惜败给印尼队，交出了尤伯杯。值得一提的是，这一届尤杯决赛留下一段迄今仍被不断渲染的“冤家之争”，这就是当年18岁的张宁与当年15岁的张海丽那场事关两队生死的决战。 从1994年之后，中国队开始了艰难的走出低谷、重新崛起之路，在接下来的几届汤尤杯赛上，中国队虽然始终在竭尽全力收复两杯，但都功亏一篑，董炯、孙俊等一批高手也因此在自己的运动生涯中留下了难以抹去的遗憾。 进入新世纪：汤尤杯见证中国崛起 在历经了1995年首夺苏杯、1996年实现奥运金牌零的突破后，李永波领军的中国队逐步在世界羽坛重新崛起，伴随着年轻队员的日臻成熟，中国队在汤尤杯赛上的竞争力逐渐增强，重夺两杯也实实在在地成为中国队征战汤尤杯赛的坚定目标。 1998年5月23日，香港依丽莎白体育馆内人声鼎沸，中国女队与印尼女队为争夺尤杯在进行着最后的决战。中国队率先出场的是第一女单叶钊颖，而印尼队派上的是素有“中国女单克星”之称的王莲香。在两人过去几年的交锋中，叶钊颖输多胜少，由此还背负上了“心理素质欠佳、逢王必输”的非议。 对中国队而言，叶钊颖此战极为关键，如果赢了，不仅在决赛中抢得先机，而且还可大大缓解后面上场队员的紧张情绪。首局，叶钊颖先声夺人，迅速地以10比1领先，但经验丰富的王莲香很快调整战术，将比分追至9比10。关键时刻，叶钊颖稳住阵脚，抓住机会再得一分，以11比9险胜；第二局，王莲香以12比10扳回，场上的气氛顿时变得异常紧张。局间休息时，中国队的所有教练将叶钊颖团团围住，你一言我一语地为她出谋划策。决胜局，叶钊颖将自己的能量全部释放出来，终以11比5为中国队抢下第一分。获胜后，叶钊颖跪倒在地，喜极而泣，而王莲香则用毛巾捂着脸，冲进了洗手间，很久没有出来。 之后的第二盘双打，1996年奥运会冠军葛菲/顾俊轻松击败对手，中国队以大比分2比0领先。第三盘单打轮到龚智超上场迎战张海丽，或许是压力过大导致发挥有些失常，龚智超丢掉了首局，第二局以7比10落后。眼看再丢一分就将失利，身处悬崖边的龚智超此时突然找到感觉，依靠顽强的抗争，她竟然神奇地上演了绝地大逆转，连扳两局击败张海丽，中国队也终于从印尼队手中夺回失去两届的尤杯。 在这届尤杯赛之后，随着王莲香的退役、张海丽的出走荷兰，印尼女队迅速衰落。而重新组建的中国队在吸取了以前人才断档的教训后，加强了人才梯队建设，女单和女双高手一批接一批涌现，中国女队的整体实力日益强大，迄今为止再无一队能与之抗衡，从1998年至今，尤伯杯便一直牢牢地握在中国队手中，两年一届的尤杯赛也因此失去了夺杯悬念。 在世界羽坛，男队的竞争历来比女队激烈，无论男单还是男双，实力相当的高手众多，因此，中国男队在汤杯赛上收复失地的难度要比女队大得多。在1998年女队重夺尤杯之后，中国男队又等待了6年之久，才在2004年终于高歌一曲翻身道情。 2004年的汤尤杯赛在印尼雅加达举行，此时的中国男队又涌现了林丹、鲍春来等男单新锐，而一向薄弱的男双在名帅汤仙虎的调教下也大有起色，两对年轻组合蔡赟/傅海峰、郑波/桑洋已跻身世界一流强档之列，与之前的几届汤杯赛相比，中国队这届汤杯的阵容单双打实力最为均衡。 在先后战胜印尼、韩国等强队后，中国男队昂首挺进汤杯决赛，等待他们的是同样渴望捧杯的欧洲劲旅丹麦队。前两盘，林丹击败皮特•盖德，为中国队抢下第一分，而蔡赟/傅海峰则不敌丹麦的帕斯克/拉斯姆森。 关键的第三盘，鲍春来迎战丹麦老将乔纳森，前两局两人战成1平。决胜局，一向温和的鲍春来在4比10落后的情况下，突然变成了一个充满杀气的杀手，眼露凶光，出手狠辣。在几近疯狂的鲍春来的震摄之下，乔纳森渐渐失去了斗志，无奈地看着比分被鲍春来一点点追上。当决胜局比分定格在15比12时，鲍春来压抑的情绪彻底迸发出来，他忘了与裁判握手，忘了向观众致意，怒吼着径直扑倒在地。 鲍春来的气势极大地感染了随后出场的郑波/桑洋，在第四盘双打中，他们超水平发挥，干决利落地击败丹麦老将埃里克森/伦加德，为中国队一锤定音。“我们赢了，汤杯终于夺回来了。”当胜利到来的那一刻，中国队全体将士都兴奋地跳了起来，男队员们欢呼着，将总教练李永波高高抛起，前来助威的女队员们则喜泪横流，比她们自己卫冕尤杯还要激动。 经过了12年的漫长等待，付出了几代球员的青春血泪，汤姆斯杯终于回到中国队手中。之后一年，已经将汤尤两杯全部收回的中国队在2005年苏杯赛又抢回苏杯，中国队也因此成为有史以来第一支同时拥有三座代表世界羽坛最高水平的团体冠军奖杯的球队。 此后，在接下来的2006年汤尤杯赛和2007年的苏杯赛上，中国队再度将三杯捧回，再一次证明现在的中国队无愧为世界羽坛的最强队。( 文/李海良)

In the meatime, here's a FREE translation...hope anyone reading could bear reading it. I think the article is basically describing the Chinese squad's Thomas & Uber Cup history. From how it was started to where they are now... ========================================================== The Tangyoubei testimony country feather 27 years tears of blood want to hold three cups to cast the Chinese dynasty again -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Tangyoubei testimony country feather 27 years tears of blood want to hold three cups to cast the Chinese dynasty again 2008-5-9 "Badminton" in magazine feather net Introduction: in February, 1936, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote down “the landscape in the North Shanxi Qingjian County to be so many tenderly, directs the innumerable heroes competed bow” heroic verse. Might once think, dozens of years later was born the Tangyoubei match became the classical sports event which really a world badminton world command innumerable hero competed bows. Opens the Tangyoubei match the history, a world badminton world dozens of year vicissitude comes clearly into view, numerous team's prosperity and decline honor or disgrace vividly at present. Tangyoubei establishment initial period: Indonesian men's team, Japanese women's team scenery infinite Does not compare the full capping ceremony Sudiman match, “60 pleasing to the ear” Thomas Cup and “50 know the destiny” Youbobei is obviously now the badminton world authoritative men and women association sports event. Although the birth time slightly has the difference, but two matches actually comply with the world badminton movement development tidal current to produce. The modern badminton movement is quite at first popular in Britain, but to the 1930s, the badminton movement had already been in vogue in many countries, holds the world badminton team competition already is ultimately. in 1939, when is appointed International Badminton's union President English George•Thomas proposed that holds the world men's badminton association championship tournament, and expressed that will donate an awarding cup for this competition, this is Thomas Cup's origin. Because the Second World War erupts, conducts Thomas Cup's plan stillborn, this awarding cup is locked reaches in the European some bank basement safe cabinet eight year long time. Until 1948, the International Badminton's union has held the first session of Thomas match finally, by dust-laden long Thomas Cup has then been able the see the light of day. The Thomas match was one item is carried over to the following year the competition, the first year the district carried on the preliminary contest first, the second year usually carried on the finals in the previous hegemon locus. The first Thomas Cup played in the finals in February, 1949 holds in Britain, just rose the Malaya team by 8:1 defeats the Danish team, became Tang Bei the first owner, afterward in 1951 and in 1954, they twice succeeded protects the championship. in 1958 fourth session of Tang Bei who held in Singapore plays in the finals has the epoch-making significance, first time participated the Indonesian team take pine Nepal Vyell, Chen Youfu as a main force, by 6:3 frustrates the Malaya in the finals, the head wins the soup cup, and won “the badminton kingdom” in light of this fine reputation. Hereafter during 20 years, Indonesian team becomes Tang Bei the best owner, except changes the name in 1967 that competitions from the Malaya for Malaysia's team has robbed one time, until 1979, the soup cup hugged steadily throughout in the Indonesian team hand. Compares with the soup cup, takes the world women's team championship tournament's Youbobei match origination time later, in 1957 only then held has played in the finals for the first time. At that time, in each women's team US team's strength ultra, their two senior general dave Lin and Var Naer already hand in hand dominated when Quanyingsai are many, therefore on the first Youbobei match, the US team logically holds especially the cup, afterward they twice protect the championship. Until 1966, the Japanese women's team was sudden appearance, depended upon afterward seven times captured Quanyingsai to play singles masters and so on Gao Mu who, bamboo neutral Ze, doubles trophy's Tang Mu abundant Hui Yi obtained the Quanyingsai doubles trophy many times, Team Japan at the match substitutes for the US especially, became the new hegemon. US team which holds the cup before three degrees compares, the Japanese women's team's hegemonic position maintains even more for a long time, from 1966 to 1981, their five handfuls of cups, during could contend with only then the Indonesian team only especially with them, but the Indonesian team also snatched a time especially cup in 1975 from Team Japan hand. 12th session of Tang Bei: “uncrowned king” creation miracle Because of the historical reason, in the Tangyoubei newly established time, the Chinese team does not have the good fortune to step into this stage, but in other competitions, the Chinese men's team once many times defeated at that time at the soup match at the height of power Indonesian team, and, therefore obtains “the uncrowned king” title. To May, 1981, the two big organization world badminton's union and the International Badminton's union originally announced the merge, the Chinese team can participate finally including Tangyoubei numerous world big game. from May 10th, 1982 to 21st, the 12th session of Thomas Cup final stage's competition launched in Britain, the Chinese team first time has stepped into Tang Bei the stage, and snatched the soup cup from the Indonesian person hand, and has proven “the uncrowned king” to the common people great strength. That session of soup match, Chinese team's participation caused the Indonesian team to take seriously, to defend the soup cup, they have assembled all elite forces, except at that time at the height of power “the Son of Heaven” forest mirage, but also recalled once eight had won the Quanyingsai men's singles champion 32 year-old veteran Liang Hailiang. With in Chinese team's finals, the Indonesian team on deploying troops and forming lines wanted all means that to dispatch finally to get rid to hit all “the trump card”, but after two day-long struggling hard, Tang Bei lived the Chinese team which by Luan Jing, Han Jian led is been deprived, was also precisely relies on at the soup match's excellent performance, Luan Jing “fierce”, Han Jian “the sticky candy” the spirit is starting to be on everybody's lips widely. Tang Bei then played in the finals adopts 9 5 to win the system, divided two days to complete. On May 20 carries on four contests first, Chinese team great score 1:3 backwardness. On May 21 6:00 pm, the final decisive battle performance, entire London imperial family Albert the hall is full house, comes Queen of England who observes a war to indicate that if competes before 8 o'clock decides the victory and defeat, she to win the team to issue Thomas Cup personally. This time, the Indonesian team is merry, sincerely believes itself to be sure of success, but the Chinese team nobody make a sound. The first singles, 23 year-old Luan Jing meets head-on Liang Hailiang, this is the two person of between first confrontation. Although Liang Hailiang experiences experienced and reliably, but this time's he crossed after all stands the year. Facing on the field slightly obviously the aged match, the year hydrogen abundant Luan brave soldier character overhead, struggles hard three games to win. Then the Luan Jing victory has inspired Han Jian who enormously enters the stage. With Indonesia “the Son of Heaven” in forest mirage's contention, the Han Jian defense is impregnable, each one attractive wasted effort rescues the ball to sigh the audience the envy, called out in alarm “the god including Liang Hailiang!” After Han defeats the forest mirage healthily, the Chinese team pulls the great score 3:3. Final three contests, Chen Changjie and Sun Zhian/Yao Ximing one after another accomplishment. The Chinese team by 5:4 reversal Indonesian teams, holds Thomas Cup high finally. UK team group leader commented after the game that since this has been the soup cup 40 years the level is highest, is most splendid, the most exciting competition, can win 4 points in 1:3 backwardness situation, the Chinese team has created the miracle. In the 1980s: Tangyoubei welcomes the Chinese time Started from 1984, Tangyoubei changes every two years a session every three years by original a session, and decided while with the place hold. The competition also means five win the system by original nine to change five three to win the system, carries on three singles first, latter is two doubles. in 1984, the Tangyoubei match capital Kuala Lumpur launched from May 7th to 18th in Malaysia. Participated in Youbobei Chinese women's team to send out international championship women's single champion Li Lingwei, World Cup women's single champion Han Aiping, Quanyingsai women's doubles champion forest beautiful jade/Wu Xi as well as great soldiers for the first time and so on Xu hibiscus/Wu Jianqiu goes to battle, the strength prosperous Chinese team by four fought does not lose a success to kill the finals. In the finals, the Chinese team is also straight by 5:0 wins the English team, held Youbobei. Looking from the result, the Chinese team wins in the finals quite with ease, but the process actually slightly has thrilling. Before the finals, English team 19 year-old young fellow Trocke distributes the war declaration to Li Lingwei, the name wants to measure strength with Li Lingwei in the finals. But, plays in the finals preceding day, Li Lingwei sprained the knee joint carelessly, the ache has been hard to endure, including walked is lamely. Knew under after Trocke war declaration, Li Lingwei worries very much at heart, Chinese team Head Coach the Chen happy life also urges her to give up competing. But, Li Lingwei thought: If I do not go on stage, opposite party will think that I will have stage fright afraid. “maintains an army on thousandth, uses the army for an hour”, Li Lingwei chose had insisted. Before the competition, she lets the team doctor help her the knee joint which is injured to wrap up, then puts on the kneepad, flushes goes on stage and the match contest. On field, Li Lingwei heroic incomparable, top of the head smashing, before the net chops, the long buckle dropshot in tennis and ping-pong), hits Trocke with difficulty to resist. 11:2, 11:3, only use 18 minutes, Li Lingwei then to win the victory. After knowing that Li Lingwei is wounded the participation, Trocke has profound respect. In this session of Tang Bei plays in the finals on, the Chinese team welcomes the Indonesian team once again. Regrettably, this Chinese team by 2:3 pities the defeat finally, returns Tang Bei to the Indonesian team hand. Two years later, 1986 Tangyoubei match held in the Indonesian Jakarta, entered the meridian Chinese men and women's team this line of wills to protect the championship of You Bei, to recapture the soup cup gradually. Compares two years ago, the Chinese women's team's main force lineup change is not big, but in the Chinese men's team presented Yang Yang, Xiong Guobao, Li Yongbo, Tian Bingyi and so on young face. In the competition, the strength formidable China women's team colorful pressure beautiful and fragrant flowers, protect the championship of Youbobei smoothly; The Chinese men's team young contestants blossom in radiant splendor, recaptures the soup cup finally from the Indonesian team hand. Two cups receive, let the world most strong team which Chinese team becomes is worthy of the reputation, Tangyoubei also from this enter the Chinese time, on the two session of Tangyoubei match, the Chinese men and women's team holds the cup continuously in pairs. In the early-1990s: Tangyoubei enters various male strives for hegemony the time Slide along with one group of veterans' retirement and the condition, to the early-1990s, the Chinese men and women's team fell into the temporary shortage gradually the predicament, took as abates gradually for the arrogant entire superiority, protected the championship of the road on the Tangyoubei match more to walk is more difficult. on June 2, 1990, in Tokyo stadium, in elegant "Hero Triumphal returns" in the music, Chinese women's team Coach the Chen Yuniang eye contains the tears, from when is appointed International Badminton's union President Ian•In Palmer's hand received Youbobei. Led as one to experience many especially match's famous coaches, Chen Yuniang this time so excited, because her too clear China women's team this time won the championship difficulty. Is pre-game in this session of Youbobei, Li Lingwei, Han likes veterans and so on gentle Lin Ying stopping playing professional sport, Chinese team's You in Bei the lineup only then Guan Weizhen has attended the previous match, other initially ford match's new person. The group match, the Chinese team by 1:4 not enemy South Korean team. This is the Chinese team encounters the unfavorable situation for the first time especially at nearly several matches, causes one piece immediately in an uproar, some people even comment the Chinese team to present the serious crisis. By now, stood firm the morale of troops, many for to encourage, little to pour cold water, to unite as one, the confidence building was most important. Two Coach the Chen happy life and Chen Yuniang do the ideological work separately to the member, encourages them: “loses one not to be unimportant, the group match is of little significance, do not go to think it. The misdemeanor will change a good deed, we will unload the cloth wrapper for the South Korean team the back not?” The defeat is mother of the success, under training enlightening, the young Chinese members had the profound understanding to these words, and puts to it in the practice. In the finals, the Chinese team faces South Korean team once again. Formerly three women's singles Tang Jiuhong who, the chrysanthemum and Zhou Lei loses the game in the group match this time defeat the match, the Chinese women's team have realized especially the cup four repeated champions difficultly. While the Chinese women's team strength after hard and dangerous trend successful, the Chinese men's team has also realized the soup cup three time champion, but competes the sign which the personnel get older to be increasingly prominent, with compares finally, the win process becomes more difficult. At that time, the Chinese men's team's Yang Yang 26 years old, the Xiong Guobao 28 years old, the Zhao Jianhua 25 years old, whether they did participate in two year later the Thomas match was not a small question? But this time Indonesian team's Ardee, Wei Renfang, Malaysia's pulling•New people and so on Xideke start to rise, their emergence indicates two year later Tang Bei, the Chinese team a bitter experience more stern challenge. 1992 Tangyoubei match capital Kuala Lumpur launched in Malaysia, this time's Chinese team has occupied the temporary shortage most serious time, especially men's team, several veteran Zhao Jianhua, Li Yongbo, Tian Bingyi already to movement profession later years, but Wu Wenkai, young fellows and so on Liu Jun made a debut, not yet after association big game's test. This session of soup match, imposing manner most abundant, when is the host Malaysian team, to recapture in the main house gate mouth loses in the course of time Tang Bei, they invited Chinese men's singles master Chen Changjie who, Han Jian, Yang Yang three already retired to take on the training, its intention was very obvious, was the hope in these three Chinese coach's training, the Malaysian team can defeat China. The soup cup semi-final, the Chinese team and Malaysian team comes face to face with an adversary. The first singles, Zhao Jianhua lost to beyond expectation has pulled•Xideke; The second doubles, Li Yongbo/Tian Bingyi by 1:2 not enemy Brother Xideke. Great score 0:2 backwardness, Chinese team's situation is in imminent danger. The third singles, young fellow Wu Wenkai strives to turn the tide, defeats Fu Guoqiang, achieves a slim chance of survival for the Chinese team. But, to the fourth doubles, Zheng Yumin/Huang Zhanzhong has linked loses two games, defeats pats in Xie Shunji/Su Mingqiang, 1:3, the Chinese team like this keeps off by the Malaysian team outside the finals front door. Unfavorable situation that evening, in the hotel cafe which the Chinese team lives, men's team Head Coach a Hou Jiachang alone person sits in there, the facial expression is desolate, perhaps a front coffee was precisely he at that time the mood best portrayal. Plays in the finals after Tang Bei, the Malaysian team defeats Indonesia, if is willing to hold the soup cup, three Chinese team coaches also therefore by the Malaysian media Canada commendation, but China, is actually whoops to them, some media even spoke frankly, Chinese team this time is defeats in the Chinese hand. Does not have the good fortune in the men's team plays in the finals, the Chinese women's team in You Bei plays in the finals with the South Korean team has carried on an arduous battle. First four, the Chinese team relies on women's single two senior general Tang Jiuhong and chrysanthemum's splendid display captures two points, but the South Korean team depends upon two pair of doubles, shares half and half with the Chinese team. Determines the final outcome fifth, Chinese team meets head-on Shen En Ting by 18 year-old young fellow Ye Zhaoying. A team success or failure was really too has been especially big in a body's pressure regarding first experience match's Ye Zhaoying, first game, her display serious abnormal, by 3:11 unfavorable situations, in the match obtained 11 points, some 10 points is the big ritual which unexpectedly very quickly Ye Zhaoying made a mistake delivers. The second game of first half, Ye Zhaoying still does not see the improvement, is 0:3 backwardness first, after then furiously surpasses, sinks into with the match refuses to compromise. While the Chinese team all person's heart hung throat time, the Ye Zhaoying sudden burst, was when the first second game of 7:8 backwardness, as soon as acted boldly to wrestle, including took 4 points to win, then take 11:7 takes in the rubber game as the Chinese team sends a victory point. This war let the Chinese women's team realize especially the cup champion five times in a row, also let Ye Zhaoying one night become famous. To 1994 the Tangyoubei match, this time's Chinese team just had experienced in an instant the troop big adjustment, the leader who year only 32 year-old Li Yongbo becomes the troop, the Chinese team has also carried on the big area renewal from the training organized group to the member. After taking office leads the team first session of Tangyoubei match which participates, Li Yongbo not high wild hope, because he is very clear, goes to battle with Tang Bei the Chinese men's team by the uniform young contestant this time not to have recaptures Tang Bei the strength, but the similarly young women's team also only has the ultra level display, only then has the possibility to protect the championship of especially the cup. Just like Li Yongbo expects, at this session of soup match, the Chinese men's team loses to the Malaysian team once more in the semi-final, but Chinese women's team, although enters the finals, but still by 2:3 pitied finally loses to the Indonesian team, has handed over Youbobei. What is worth mentioning, this session of You Bei played in the finals leaves behind a section still unceasingly to exaggerate until now “struggle of the enemy”, this was the same year 18 year-old Zhang Ning and the same year 15 year-old Zhang Haili that critical time two team life and death decisive battles. After 1994, the Chinese team started to go out the trough, to rise difficultly the road, on the following several session of Tangyoubei match, Chinese team, although in did utmost throughout regains two cups, but fell short, Dong Jiong, Sun Jun and so on one group of masters therefore have also left behind the regret which in their movement profession cancelled with difficulty. Enters the new century: Tangyoubei testimony China rises After having been through repeatedly 1995 new years to seize Su Bei, in 1996 realized the Olympic Games gold medal zero breakthrough, Li Yongbo commands troops the Chinese team rose gradually in the world badminton world, follows the young member's gradually maturing, Chinese team's is strengthening gradually on Tangyoubei match competitive power, won two cups also really to become the Chinese team again to go on an expedition the Tangyoubei match the firm goal. on May 23, 1998, Hong Kong a babel of voices according to the Lisa white stadium, the Chinese women's team and the Indonesian women's team to compete for You Bei to carry on the final decisive battle. What the Chinese team takes the lead to enter the stage is first women's single Ye Zhaoying, what but the Indonesian team sends is known as “the Chinese women's single difficult adversary” name Wang Lianxiang. In two person of past several year confrontation, Ye Zhaoying lost the multi-victories to be few, from this also shouldered “the psychological quality unsatisfactory, met Wang Bishu” the censure. Speaking of the Chinese team, Ye Zhaoying this war is extremely essential, if has won, not only snatches in the finals takes the initiative, moreover may also alleviate the following going on stage member's tense mood greatly. The first game, Ye Zhaoying forestalls opponent by a show of strength, by 10:1 is in the lead rapidly, but experienced Wang Lianxiang adjusts the tactic very quickly, pursues the score to 9:10. The critical moment, Ye Zhaoying secures the position, a seize on a chance again point, by 11:9 wins narrowly; The second game, Wang Lianxiang by 12:10 draws, on the field atmosphere becomes immediately exceptionally intense. Between when the bureau rests, Chinese team's all training encircle Ye Zhaoying, as soon as you say my language to supply ideas for her. The rubber game, Ye Zhaoying releases completely his energy, take 11:5 snatches the first point finally as the Chinese team. After winning, Ye Zhaoying kneels down in the place, happy sobs extremely, but Wang Lianxiang uses the towel to cover the face, has crashed in the washroom, very long has not come out. The afterward second doubles, in 1996 Olympic Games champion Ge Fei/gave a thought to the handsome relaxed defeat opponent, the Chinese team 2:0 is in the lead by the great score. The third singles are one's turn Gong Zhichao to go on stage meet head-on Zhang Haili, perhaps is the pressure causes the display to be somewhat abnormal oversized, Gong Zhichao has discarded the first game, the second game by 7:10 backwardness. Will lose one point to be in unfavorable situation again shortly, Gong Zhichao who placed nearby the cliff this time suddenly found the feeling, depended upon the tenacious resistance, she has performed certainly the big reversal unexpectedly mysteriously, won two games to defeat Zhang Haili, the Chinese team also finally recaptures from the Indonesian team hand loses two session of You Bei. After this especially matches, along with Wang Lianxiang's retirement, Zhang Haili leaves Holland, the Indonesian women's team declines rapidly. But sets up the Chinese team after having drawn the lesson which the beforehand talented person is out of stock, strengthened the talented person echelon to construct, the women's single and the women's doubles master one batch met one batch of emergences, the Chinese women's team's overall strength are day by day formidable, until now did not have a team to be able again to contend with it, from 1998, Youbobei then firmly has grasped until now in the Chinese team hand, a two year match especially also therefore lost has won the cup to be anxious. In the world badminton world, men's team's competition is always more intense than the women's team, regardless of the men's singles or the men's double, the strength suitable master is numerous, therefore, the Chinese men's team regains at the soup match loses the place the difficulty to be much bigger than the women's team. The women's team won especially the cup again after 1998, the Chinese men's team had waited for 6 year long time, only then finally sang loudly a tune turning over chanting tales in 200 4 years. 2004 Tangyoubei match held in the Indonesian Jakarta, this time's Chinese men's team has emerged men's singles and so on Lindane, Bao Chunlai newly sharp, but always weak men's double, in led under Tang Xianhu's training also greatly to show improvement after illness, two pairs combine Cai 赟/the Fu seamount, Zheng Bo/Sang Yang to advance into row of young the world first-class strong files, compares before the several session of soup match, the Chinese team this session of Tang Bei lineup single doubles strength is most balanced. After defeats strong teams successively and so on Indonesia, South Korea, the Chinese men's team holds up the head to push onward Tang Bei to play in the finals, waited for that they the European crack force Danish team which is the similar hope holds the cup. First two, Lindane defeats Peter•Gaede, snatches the first point for the Chinese team, but Cai 赟/Fu seamount not enemy Denmark's Pask/Rasmussen. Essential third, Bao Chunlai meets head-on Danish veteran Jonathan, the first two games of two people fight evenly 1. The rubber game, always temperate Bao Chunlai in 4:10 backwardness's situations, suddenly turned the murderer who fills works off anger, the eye dew ominous light, leaves the stingy to be spicy. Under several near crazy Bao Chunlai shakes absorbs, Jonathan has lost the fighting spirit gradually, but looks that the score is overtaken little by Bao Chunlai. When the rubber game score frames when 15: 12, Bao Chunlai constrains the mood bursts out thoroughly, he forgot to shake hand with the referee, forgets to express best wishes to the audience, roars is falling down directly in the place. Afterward Bao Chunlai's imposing manner infected Zheng Bo/Sang Yang who enormously enters the stage, in the fourth doubles, they surpasses the level display, does defeats Danish veteran Ericksen/roentgen Gadd agily definitely, gives the final word for the Chinese team. “we have won, the soup cup seized finally.”When victory arrival's that moment, the Chinese team all officers and men excitedly jumped, the male members are cheering, throws high head coach Li Yongbo, comes female members happy tear crossflow which cheers, protects the championship of You Bei them also to be more excited. After 12 year long waiting, has paid several generation of player's youth tears of blood, Thomas Cup returned to finally the Chinese team hand. Afterward one year, already the Chinese team which takes back completely especially the soup two cups the Soviet match snatched in 2005 the Soviet cup, the Chinese team also therefore becomes first simultaneously to have throughout history three representatives the world badminton world maximum level team title awarding cup's team. Hereafter, in following in 2006 Tangyoubei match and at 2007 Soviet match, the Chinese team holds once again three cups, again proved that present's Chinese team has no qualms for the world badminton world most strong team.

“we have won, the soup cup seized finally.” lol. Just skimmed thru the article and this caught my eye.
It's about the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup history. Here is the summary for the 1st paragraph. Sorry for my lousy English. At first it was very popular in England. After 1930, it became very popular in other countries. So there was a need to start a world level competition. In 1939, IBF Chairman George Thomas suggested a world team competition and donated a trophy cup which became the Thomas Cup. However the plan was put on hold because of WWII. The cup was kept in a bank's safety box for 8 years. After the war in 1948, the first TC was held. The first few TC's took 2 years. The first year is for preliminary. The final round was held the second year at defending champion's home country. The first Thomas Cup was held in Feb 1949 in England. Malaysia beat Denmark 8 - 1 and became the first Thomas Cup holder. They successfully defended the title in 1951 and 1954. The 4th TC was held in Singapore, Indonesia played the first time with key players 松尼维尔 and 陈友福, they beat Malaysia 6 - 3 in the final and earned the "Badminton Kingdom" title. For the next 20 years until 1979, Indonesia won every TC except 1967 (won by Malaysia). Uber Cup started much later in 1957. USA was the powerhouse. The 2 key players 戴夫琳 and 瓦尔纳尔 had been winningn All England for many years. USA won the first UC easily. Until 1966, with key player 汤木博惠 (7 times AE WS and WD winner), 高木 (a few AE WD winner), 竹中 and 相泽, Japan ladies replaced USA as the new UC holder and powerhuse. They kept the cup 5 times from 1966 to 1981 except 1975 which was won by Indonesia.
The two key players for INA victory at IV Thomas Cup 1958 in Singapore must be Ferry Sonneville and Tan Joe Hok, am I right?
Oh, thanks for confirmation! I'm just guessing from Free Translation that posted by ctjcad such as Soviet Cup which means Sudirman Cup.
