omg, just found out that Pei Tianyi is still around, so he will be a good contender in BD and XD

[rosid]

Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama won the AJC 2012 title just now. Congratulation for them!!! Obama and Uul should be the 1st seed in the next WJC.

but tommy's level now, is different from last year lah...
even last year he lost to nugroho andi in sirnas semarang, after leaving pelatnas...

omg, Shesar Hiren Rhustavito won MS gold PON 2012 by beating Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka in 3 tight sets 21-14 18-21 21-18 !!

is the the youngest gold medal MS in PON history ??

Congratulation !! Nice improvement boy !!

[Lovelyka]

vito must play really good beating tommy and hayom respectively. i hope he will play better in WJC.

Although Vito did well in winning both the PON Team and Individual Events Gold Medals, his opponents in WJC (Kento Momota, Viktor Axelsen, etc) are also experienced junior players. A medal in WJC (any one) will do for me.

agree with you...

looking at junior ranking, i think anyone will not be seeded. QF finish is already good, rest is bonus for me

From what i see, some juniors and some who just graduated from juniors are doing relatively well...
they show the progress. We have many good talents in MS and MD and also XD.
for MD and XD, i would say that we have excellent talents...
for MS, surely we have much much better talent compare to some years ago...
after Sony and Taufik, we only have Simon and Andre. After that, we have Alamsyah, Hayom, Tommy.
After that ?
Currently we have so many talents born 92-96 even 97. They beat each other in some tourneys and Sirnas.
I dont hope too much, only hope 2 of them can be world contender. Let see what can they achieve in the next 3 years....

But none of them have Taufik, or even Sony and Simon material. Relatively to other country's juniors i.e Viktor, Kento, Thamasin, etc, INA MS youngsters are left behind. They may reach Alam, Hayom, or Tommy's level. And not to forget, Tommy's junior days were even better. Let's see.

Tommy is better in junior because there are no competitor... only few names like Hong Ji Hoon... Currently, there are so many good junior players...

I know that Viktor/Kento, Thammasin is in front. But i am sure, vito/riyanto/others are not way behind. not so far. we have to see their progress step by step. in term of skill, i think our juniors can compete with any juniors in this world, but they have mental problem.

this problem has to be fixed by sending them in appropriate tourneys.

1 month to go to WJC 2012... all the best to INA squad !

[sen]

Will China pull out from WJC since it is in Japan ?

I think they will not.

Good luck for INA team.

hmm,the most china will get in this wjc are 2 titles(out of 6).the most.
i think it is a wise choice for them not to participate,in order to safe face,just like last wjc.
even if they participate last year,they wont win ms,ws,md and team event. wd and xd are about 50% only.
