Who is your badminton hero?

[szekt]

It has to be Zhao JianHua!!! Talented though a bit inconsistent at times..

[Dollseye]

Susi Susanti and Zhang Ning...perfection
Gao Ling, because She wins with different pairs and will always put on a great show with her smiling face...
Chandra Wijaya...Mr.Hardworking and dependable...always consistent and a great role model
Lily Tampi and Finarsih...because they were the brickwall before the chinese put theirs in womens double..and they have completely different style of play yet compliments each other nicely...
Last but not least....
Liem Swie King...without Him, we can never see jumping KING smashes we see nowaday!!

[kuwichert]

it's Taufik, there can't be more entertainment on earth than watching him on court
for women -- there is the one and only Gao Ling, beside her outstanding skills on court - her amazing smile even when things went wrong made her the only Chinese I support, it's simple: badminton has to be fun and joy, not civil war!
