LD will overtake TH very soon unless TH starts to win and LD falters.
LD has reached the finals of 4 tournaments this year and won 3 titles in the process.

At the first tournament that offers qualifying points for the 2012 London Olympic Games (the 2011 Malaysia Open GP Gold), LCW won maximum points by defeating Bao Chunlai, the No.7 seed, 21-9, 21-19 in 42 minutes.

Well Done Lee Chong Wei !!! Hope for more points to come.

[LD rules!]

an important thing to note from the WR ATM is that Chen Jin is #10 now and if his form continues he will probably stay around #7/8/9 + he will lose I think 13000 points from his WC sucess come August. He might not make OG12, LYB might have to consider sending Du Pengyu and Bao Chunlai to more tournaments in an effort to boost rankings and try and get three MS, although unlikely.

If you look at the 2011 Week 21 World Ranking Lists again, you would find quite a BIG gap in points between those in the group of 'Top 4 Players' and those positioned 5th and below.

Let's look at the players' rankings in that group from 5th and below (to 32nd, let's say). Players here can move up or down by up to 5 positions in a week quite easily (I would say).

I see that you are concerned that Chen Jin might not make it to the OG12 (based on last week's list, that he's ranked 10th). But CJ can jump up to the 5th position quite quickly.
.

[LD rules!]

Yes, but CJ needs to be top 4 in order to make it to OG, IMO based on current form, CL and LD will be the MS. In fact I think LYB was so worried that's why he sent him to MAS GPG, to pick up some points, as well as to Thai GPG, with CL and others. Also, LYB could have played CJ in the Sudirman cup to pick up some points, however maybe he didn't feel confident enough to put him up against Marc, Sasaki etc.

LD has no intention of going after the #1 spot anymore, like he said in the paper. So LCW is probably fairly safe, although LD will play more tournaments, so will pick up tons of points.

Yes, if you go back to Post #1, you will read that China is no longer interested to have Lin Dan to regain his World No.1 position.

But then, this week Lin Dan has moved back to the #2 spot again;

Here is the ranking list released today (from the 2011 Week 22 World Ranking Lists).

For the top 6 Mens Singles players;

1. Lee Chong Wei (MAS)........93997 points
2. Lin Dan (CHN)..................75906 points
3. Taufik Hidayat (INA).........74740 points

Although, LD has no intention of regaining the #1 he might do it by "accident" if he plays most of the big tournaments in the OG Qualification period. With LCW not playing in SG, then LD is pretty much guarenteed a final If not a victory.

I think TH will drop further in the rankings as he keeps losing to 2nd tier players.
The same has to be said of CJ.
However, Sho Sasaki should move up as he has been consistent with his good performances recently.
