Lee Chong Wei is now No. 1

**tekken** · 08-22-2008, 12:43 PM

Lin Dan chats with Lee Chong Wei...

LCW: How about I will exchange the WR#1 spot +OG silver medal for your OG gold medal?

LD: That's not enough, you know...

LCW: But you have been WR#1 for so long, don't you want to keep that record going?

LD: Not really... it doesn't matter at all, now that I am the OG gold medalist.

LCW: Okay, how about this? I will even put in my Datuk status... you can then be considered as a Datuk, too + you will get back your WR#1 status + OG silver medal.

LD: I don't live in Malaysia, you know... why would I want to be a Datuk?

LCW: oh... yeah... well... fine, how about WMC?

LD: well... let me think about that...

Next moment, a huge slap across the face from XXF to LD, and another one from WMC to LCW ended the conversation right the way

Well done LCW! Win Japan Open and you will ensure that No1 spot will be yours.

I think being #1 is going to add more pressure to LCW. I prefer him to stay as #2.

LD has dropped his points as WC 07 winner, 12000 pts
LCW has dropped his points in WC 07 as Quarter Finalist, lost to SDK

i have to agree with this

**z3048018** · 08-23-2008, 01:29 AM

i agree with the earlier post saying that LD doesn't mind being #2 since he has achieved being the Olympic Champion (GOLD)

**cooler** · 08-23-2008, 01:37 AM

don't forget LD also gave his lil brother comrade CJ a 08 AE title too.

To lcw fans, enjoy the sun while u can

No matter they're in what rank because rank can't be guarantee for them to be winner.....

**Dreamzz** · 08-23-2008, 03:12 AM

ranking matters to LCW though, it is one of the determinants of his monthly salary, no?

**FuWang** · 08-23-2008, 03:14 AM

Rank can be pressure but also can be motivation......

Sorry if there have been a change in the making of the draw that I have not known.

I have always known that the #1 and #4 seeds are always in the top half of the draw, while the #2 and #3 are always in the bottom half.

Perhaps someone from the BWF can enlighten us on this matter.

1) That one reason. It's BAM quarterly incentive. If I remember correctly WR#1 & 2 gets same quarterly bonus. #3 & 4 get another amount & so on.
2) The draw for tourneys like what chris@ccc said.

lcw is number 1 ranking in badminton world federation list, why?

**Athelete1234** · 08-25-2008, 07:13 PM

You should do a search before opening a new thread. The reason is that LD's points from last year expired, and he hasn't competed for a while, while LCW has. So therefore, LCW has more points than LD, and now LCW is #1
