So, does it mean that he aims to improve far beyond his current skills?

Or does it mean that he sees no credible opponent emerging in the next three years? (That's right up to the 2012 London Olympics!)

.
Many have questioned about Lee Chong Wei's mental strength.

We now have LCW winning 7 consecutive national titles. Doesn't it tell us something?

It's a great achievement. Wonder what is the record, similar to this, for other sports and/or for other nations. Must check the Guinness Book of Records one day.

If LCW is determined to win 10 consecutive national titles, then he must be determined to be Malaysia No.1 right up to the 2012 London Olympics.

Isn't LCW setting double pressure for himself ... to become the first Malaysian to win a 10th consecutive Badminton national title, and to become the first Malaysian to win an Olympic gold medal?

Let's hope that LCW can do it.

I'm one of those who have maintained that Lee Chong Wei doesn't have the mental strength to cover the last mile at the biggest events. Um, he has yet to show that my idea is a mistaken one

The fact that he has won the national title seven times in succession does show that he is great player... but it also shows how weak Malaysia's second-rung line-up is.

As for 10 consecutive national titles, it is hardly a record.
Squash legend Jahangir Khan won the British Open 10 consecutive times!
And, note this, the British Open is an international title

Any attempt at comparison would be a terrible mistake.
Over five years (1981 to 1986), Jahangir Khan won 555 matches - consecutively!

**TrueBlue** · 12-14-2008, 10:32 AM

haha.
i think the malaysian nationals is quite a strong line-up.
at least for my level of play.

**Dato A** · 12-14-2008, 12:47 PM

Confidence is good but if over-confidence, thats bad.

Good luck to DLCW.

**samuel882** · 12-14-2008, 07:12 PM

That;s a silly target. Shld set it to win > 10 SS titles or AG/OG gold instead

canadians MS, WS, MD, XD, WD have won many national titles too

it's not our fault that LD, LCW, TH, PG,ZN, fu/cai, gao L, etc didn't show up to our nationals

Here is a question for you, name me another Jahanger Khan in squash? Why compare such legend with LCW? Why not Rudy Hartono? Is this comparison even come close to the being 'fair'.

Are you sure you are not having too much christmas todi?

**samuel882** · 12-14-2008, 09:10 PM

Agree. must compare Apple with Apple

IMO, If really need to motivate the juniors to beat him, LCW doesnt need to set this target.
I believe those juniors are determined enough. who wouldnt want to beat the OG Silver medalist ?
