Did not see a post yet, maybe it's just me Always nice to see how might be the next big thing in Europe (and maybe in the World). Team Championship starts the 3th of april http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament.aspx?id=DB8204B5-1AD6-47A1-879C-EAC30EF478B5 Individual event from 07-04 http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/seeds.aspx?id=6B0F3351-B4A9-4C21-A7DE-C9B122D2FA79
Well the Netherlands have a very good team this year so I think they'll claim the Team Championship. Russia, England, Germany and off course Denmark will battle for the other medals. Predictions for the indivual event will came later
Sylvain Grosjean/Sam Magee will be vying for the title after 2 near misses, beaten in the German and Dutch Juniors by Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawan.
Euro-badminton is very liberal eh? This pair is from France and Ireland... Even at the Junior level a pair can represent 2 different national badminton associations... I am sure we won't find this practice at the Asian Junior Championships... Oh, I predict Russia will win WS and WD in this tournament. I love this! If Russia and the other Eastern block countries support badminton, then we will most probably stay in the Olympics forever... AND, we will see more sexy Eastern Euro girls playing badminton. Good for the sport!
hmm...pedro martin from portugal seem to be a talented player....maybe he'll make it to the final or maybe even win...here comes portugal!!
These two are already playing for a long time and it doesn't seem like they will be playing with a compatriot in the near future. But I'm not sure if they're allowed to play together at the world championships or even the Olympics...
And who else than Denmark won!! Denmark - The Netherlands 3-0 My predictions for the upcoming individual event: - final men's singles: Martins - Rasmussen - final women's singles: Hald -Tan
I agree, difficulty with these Juniors is that they don't have much to qualify them on. So there's a lot of discussion between the organisation and the different countries about this everytime again. Also a lot of players in Southern Europe don't play a lot of tournaments, so it's almost impossible to know how good they are...
Then I'll go for Martins v Borg & Hald v Clausen ... Great () the no sound cam on court 2 . Means missing out on the court 5 scheduled matches including Deprez v Hald .
I can watch live streaming already....problem it's streaming is just too bad and too slow for me....damn...
