actually i'm surprised i cant find any photos from the chinese websites. not sure why the chinese press is not covering this event.
Actually, the Chinese fans can read up the tournament results from this site http://www.badmintoncn.com/
I'm quite surprised as well. Perhaps the organizer thinks that VICTOR already have their own photographer for this tournament? But still, all the photos are just Korean players.
finally found some photos from the chinese websites: http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/p/2011-01-29/20105434605.shtml http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/p/2011-01-29/20095434604.shtml Click on the play button for the slideshow (dun be distracted by the photos in the bottom half of the screen ) http://sports.sohu.com/20110128/n279134836.shtml http://sports.sohu.com/20110127/n279125726.shtml http://sports.sohu.com/20110125/n279076104.shtml http://sports.sohu.com/20110124/n279058488.shtml

Thanks for the photos.. ..thanks to Sealman for scouring the Victor website for the pics and posting them here..KO has been one of a few major tourneys which usually don't have many pics available online nor taken by BCers as there aren't many Korean-based BCers..here are a few i found from several sources (yes, all CHN players):
