When I first watched professional badminton and didn t know the history of both LCW and LD, I thought LCW was more talented. Sure, LD has his overhead smash power and that stands out but power is a common gift. What strikes me about LCW is his natural gift in movement, not just in footwork but also in recovery and reflex. That s why LCW s gift in speed is unique and uncommon. But fans tend to perceive LD as most talented because power is more glamorous and more obvious than speed. In fact, The Telegraph journalist who covered AE11, and sounded like he s just watched both LCW and LD play for the first time, described LCW as an extraordinary talent. The reason LCW beats his opponents is his unique speed. He wins when he uses it well and so far, he s getting better at it as he grows older and wiser.
..can you or anyone else tell me who was or who were sitting there behind LCW when he beat LD @ this yr's AE??..Or was it just a one time deal??..
dear George, try to read & figure out eaglehelang's comment again and what she's suggesting and try to figure out my question and what i'm suggesting.. *psst, i already know that is the Teh dude. And i already know the dude sitting next to him. Not asking for their names. Btw, is Teh Siu Bok related to another BC member named elvinteh(?) (who supposedly is related to another coach Teh, who owns a baddy facility)?
please,i think he is already very sad as his 'real' number one cant take over the 'fake' number one my condolence lol
Dear George, you are a straightforward person trying to give a simple and direct answer but not everyone is like you.
. Hahaha... There are some of us who are getting wiser now. Yes, some BCers often get off-topic; and we get dragged into another subject matter. .
people often said that lcw is world number one because he participate more tournament than lin dan now,today http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/category.aspx?id=2317&category=472 both lcw and lindan participated same amount of tournament(12 within a year),but lcw still world number one talking about super series ranking point lin dan too still lack 5xxx point to overcome lcw http://www.bwfbadminton.org/page.aspx?id=14956
Good post which gives good examples . Good post which gives good examples. It is now shown (to those who wanted to see proof) that to become ranked World No.1, it is not necessary to play in more tournaments (as many posters have been trying to say all along). Also that, to play in more tournaments, it is not necessary that a player will become ranked higher. .
Now, Lin Dan has played one tournament more than Lee Chong Wei . Here is the list for the 2011 Week 26 World Rankings (released 30-Jun-2011). For the top 5 Mens Singles players, we have; 1. Lee Chong Wei (MAS)........95797 points (10 out of 12 tournaments) 2. Lin Dan (CHN)..................78666 points (10 out of 13 tournaments) 3. Peter Gade (DEN).............73863 points (10 out of 10 tournaments) 4. Taufik Hidayat (INA).........72990 points (10 out of 14 tournaments) 5. Chen Long (CHN)..............71980 points (10 out of 13 tournaments) Source: http://bwfcontent.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/category.aspx?id=2340&category=472 I cannot remember if Lin Dan has ever played in more tournaments than Lee Chong Wei before; But here we find Lin Dan has played one tournament more than Lee Chong Wei. .

..it takes both: no. of tournaments and how far a player finishes in each tourney..If Lin Dan is only ranked 2nd, imagine where he would rank if he had only played in half of the no. of tourneys he's participated so far..
