Will Lee Chong Wei remain World No.1 until the 2012 OG?

This is why I would like to keep this thread to talk about just the BWF Rankings and nothing else.

Why? Because the ranking uses the BWF points which is just showing numerical standing. It includes all points earned, whether from 'major' tournaments or not.

I hope to remember not to talk about 'major' titles anymore, because for any player participating only in 'major' titles, that player is not really interested in the 'World No.1 BWF Ranking Position'. It causes confusion as to how BWF decide who is World No.1.

i've actually created a spreadsheet to track the points toward the 2012 London qualifications only, if anyone interested, at

Thanks for the link.

We can see that some BCers are not happy with how BWF award points to players.

Lee Chong Wei can only face Lin Dan at the FINALS.

Hope that both of them can reach the FINALS.

Do we think that Lee Chong Wei can win the 2011 World Championhips Mens Singles title?

LCW is still voted as our favourite.

Even if LCW didn't win at the 2011 World Championships, he could still be the No.1 seed at the 2012 Olympic Games. This is because LCW could still hold on as the World No.1 when the draws of the 2012 Games are made.

I have just read this article;

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp...2195&sec=focus

====== * ====== part of article ====== * ======

MALAYSIA’S World No. 1 badminton player Datuk Lee Chong Wei must live up to his reputation and realise his potential by winning the World Badminton Championships in Wembly, London, on Aug 8-14.

If Chong Wei can live up to the nation’s high expections and justify his No. 1 seeding, he will be Malaysia’s first world badminton champion, and this fantastic achievement will lay the foundation for us to produce more world champions.

And going by his latest form and successes thus far, winning six titles in six months this year, this is the Penangite’s best chance to land the elusive world title and bring glory to the nation.

====== * ====== part of article ====== * ======

We can see the pressure building up for Lee Chong Wei.

Eagle...what happen to your Malacca comrade, this David guy reporting in the Star adding more pressure to Datuk to do a 'must' win in WC11, he should know by now learning from the past that more pressure no good lah, better hush hush...shhhh

Yes, we can see but do you think he is still that dumb after all this years ?

He should win it for himself because if he wins it,

he would be winning for his country

and not the other way round

Yes, I hope that LCW should just think of winning the title for himself.

This should lessen the pressure.

I don't think that it is true that Lin Dan doesn't want the World No.1 title.

Yes, Lin Dan performs better at major tournaments, but Lee Chong Wei performs better at the Super Series tournaments (from where most points for being World No.1 are gathered/obtained). And there are more SS tournaments than major tournaments per year.

At the SS tournaments, Lin Dan many a times gets defeated by LCW. Therefore, LD is No.2.

China is proud of their players being the best players in the world. China has World No.1 in all the other 4 disciplines, the WS, WD, MD and XD. But for the MS, LCW prevented China from getting it.

Thanks to LCW that all the WR#1 does not belong to one country. It won't be good to the sport. Anyway, before the emergence of CL, CHN didn't have anyone consistent enough to dislodge LCW, with LD not taking part in most of the tournaments. Now, I am not sure.
