^^Uh oh..^^ ..no more research from narnia??...i thought you're very good at finding stats and facts??.. My man, if you're talking abt the history of Indonesian badminton, yes, i do concur 150% they have a very good one. But that's "history". How abt looking ahead to the future?...If you mentioned that INA has "very good potential and they can catch up with all the strongest very soon", mind answering and filling in the potential names in each of the events i've listed above??..Or you can't find their names??..
badmania, do you know a WS player called bellaetrix?is she one of the promising young talents too? i think its hard for INA badminton to improve when there's still no full support from the government...but i guess we all jst have to hope for the best and keep forward
Bellaetrix Manuputty used to be an upcoming talent, along with Sylvinna Kurniawan and Pia Bernadet Zebadiah, at least a few years ago. I believe she's still in Pelatnas Pratama. However, I don't think she is as good as Febby Angguni, who's a proven winner at least in International Series and Challenge levels. It's now time to move her up a level to GP and hopefully GP Gold levels. In Pelatnas, I heard that Lindaweni Fanetri should be the one to look out for.
yeah and also lilyana natsir ... Nitya and pollii ....show their good performance in aviva open finals ... but ya wen and her patner's ranks better than them --
A question: Does Liliyana keep on playing WD since Vita's departure from the Pelatnas? Who's her partner since then?
anyone know which pairs was registered for WC besides Kido/Hendra, Bona/Ahsan, Rian/Yoke in MD,, Greys/Nitya, Mei/Shendy in WD, Butet/Nova and Devin/Lita in XD? I read in eligible players second phase that Flandy/Vita, Rendra/Meiliana, Jo/Rani, and Endang/Lita are registered http://internationalbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=12104 http://internationalbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=12105 http://internationalbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=12106
Players for the WC: Taufik Hidayat Sony Dwi Kuncoro Simon Santoso Maria Kristin Yulianti Adriyanti Firdasari Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki Meiliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa Irawati Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir -- could be the pair's last WC Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita
Nova Widianto was born on October 10, 1977. Here's one article about Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir taken from The Jakarta Globe.com (June 25, 2009) : Ami Afriatni Nova, Liliyana Ready to Make Last Stand in India All good partnerships must come to an end. When Indonesia’s Nova Widianto and Liliyana Natsir hit the court at the World Championships in Hyderabad, India, in August, it will likely be their final tournament as a mixed doubles pair. As per Nova’s request, the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) will split up the duo and seek a younger shuttler to be Liliyana’s new partner. Nova, 32, has repeatedly said he is too old to compete at the highest level and is contemplating retirement. “I want [the PBSI] to give more chances to younger shuttlers and find a new partner for [Liliyana]. She’s still young and has a long career ahead of her,” Nova said on Thursday. Lius Pongoh, PBSI’s head of athletes’ development, said Fran Kurniawan (24), Muhammad Rijal (23) and Tantowi Ahmad (21) were candidates to be Liliyana’s new partner. However, mixed doubles coach Richard Mainaky wants Nova and 24-year-old Liliyana to play together until the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. “We’ll discuss this matter with both shuttlers and their coach after the world championship,” Lius told state-run news agency Antara. Liliyana, who teamed up with Nova in 2004 to win 13 tournaments, said she knows her partnership will not last forever. “I’ve been preparing myself for that moment and I’m ready to be the mentor of my new partner, just like Nova did for me when we played together for the first time,” she said. “I hope that [the new partner] will be as good as Nova.” Sentiment can wait, though, as there are still titles to be won. The duo is the current mixed doubles world champion, having won the title at the 2007 tournament in Kuala Lumpur. They also won the 2005 world title in Anaheim, California. “If this is our last performance together in the World Championship, I want us to retain our title, to do a hat trick,” Liliyana said. Another title would put Nova and Liliyana in rarified company. Only one other pair — China’s women’s doubles team of Gao Ling and Huang Sui — has won three world championships in the same division. Victory would also be a welcome relief from Indonesia’s title drought. Nova and Liliyana are the only Indonesian shuttlers to win a Super Series title this year, winning the mixed doubles at the Malaysia Open in January. That slump saw South Korea’s Lee Yong Dae and Lee Hyo Jung supplant them as the world’s top-ranked team, but Liliyana is optimistic that the drought will end in Hyderabad. “There is a month and a half of rest time in between the Indonesia Open and World Championship, so we’ll have sufficient recovery time to be back at our best,” she said.

Read the article more carefully. It's stated that he's contemplating retirement. What is he going to do next, becoming a coach or else, God knows. Gonna miss him.
Well if you ask me, I think he did his part. He won the Olympic gold, Asian Games gold, WC, lead the indonesian team to victory in the Thomas Cup and 6 time Indonesia Open Champion. What else do you want from him. Now he just want to have fun playing badminton. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a revitalize Taufik so we can more great matches instead of always waiting for LCW vs Lindan. I am proud of LCW as a player representing Malaysia but ask yourself this, which would you prefer to have, a player which won many SS tournament or the other one that bag the major titles.
ive heard before that Hendra Setiawan is also a candidate to be liliyana's partner since they're at the same age.. i think Fran kurniawan will be a good partner for her, but he's with Pia now..so how if PBSI also consider Bona Septano?
Thats not true....I think either Tantowi or Frans could be a candiddate...tough for MD coach to let his charge to play mix.... If they are allowed...I think Hendra setiawan and Ahsan are good for XD...especially Hendra Setiawan...
May be Tantowi or Frans......Tantowi is a better candidate...his deadly smash and the style of his play ( bolanya lebih jahat...)
