    It seems that many badminton federation reshuffles due to players' retirement or change their partners..
    I hope any information will be appreciated:

    From INA:

    XD:
    *Vita will partner with Rijal.
    I saw them training before in MAS Open and they beat GER XD: Ingo/Sarah
    *Flandy/Greysia Polii
    Both pairs will play at Japan and China Open.

    WD:
    * Greysia/Nitya
    *Jo Novita/Rani
    * Endang/Lita Nurlita
    * Natalia Poluakan/Nadya

    Oh? And I thought Rijal/Greysia pair were good already. Any reason behind this new scheme?

    Flandy needs younger partner and Rijal is still young so Vita can control Rijal more.....actually combinationof Vita/Rijal is quite good..I have seen them playing Ger pair during MAS Open....at that time, GER team was asking for sparring...they did beat Sarah/Ingo

    For those who don't know badminton that bolded sentence may have TOTALLY different meaning! :D

    Anyway, those pairings, are they temporary or permanent?

    No, no, no! You took it all wrong! I don't mean it at all!
    Those gossip & infotainment programmes, I mean. They'd think that they had some sort of romantic relationship or anything like that.

    So sorry, my bad sense of humor...:(

    Are they preparing Flandy/Greys and Vita/Rijal for 2012 plan?
    Because I don't think Flandy and Vita won't be last that long...

    I don't see the pt of partnering Flandy with Greysia :eek:

    I thought Rijal/Grace are quite formidable...they just lack match experience against top pairs. They nearly beat He/Yu in the Swiss Open...

    As for Nova, he might last 2 more years....but definitely not Flandy :cool:

    Why not just focus on the Asian Games 2010 and Olympics 2012? 3 comes into mind straight away....Rijal/Grace, Tantowi/Yulianti, and Fran/Shendy.

    I still can't understand the idea.
    Why do they partner Flandy/Greysia and Vita/Rijal, if they know they can only play for 2 more years at most?
    Pairing them, then disbanding the pair when someone retires. What's the point?
    All points they've collected are wasted, too...

    The idea of pairing "old" and "young" is hoping that young ones gain more mental strength........

    And who'll be their new partners?
    I believe MAS have many decent shuttlers in their MD asrenal.
    Whoever they are, I believe those new pairs will be very dangerous for INA MDs.:(

    And... Will Rexy be back to his homeland soon?
