Ah ha, I see you've been following the developments of the back-up squad though you're all the way in HK . If they're sent to few major tourneys only(happened in 2007, 2008), they cant improve their WR-> cant break into main draw,etc.The other points were discussed last yr. This year, due to global economic slowdown, there's a budget cut across the board, -> less tourneys for all, from elite to juniors( i.e. BJSS,etc). The younger players(Chan Kwon Beng et al) get less opportunities than the seniors. That's why some of us think Zulfaldi's dad was smart to sign him with KLRC.
Maybe you suld read my question again. I asked do we have a back up to the back up elite squad??? If you still cant understand, pm me for some private tuition. You are not that bad actually at least you dont go rambling about some newspapers which has no bearing whatsover to my question.
Ok i understand wat u mean..but wat i want u to understand is..if they can fight with the upcoming talents from china,it shows that their standard i not far behind them..and wat it got to do with the word elite???is not important at all..wat is important is where their stand among the upcoming talents from china..if they can fight tooth and nail with them then naturally they got a chance to win some titles..am i right??and pls don always compare with china..do u know how much money they spent producing these athletes compare to us????so pls dun keep comparing them..
I agree with u that they haven won any title yet..but so did the current batch of youngsters from china they did not win any title also..other than lin dan,bao chunlai and chen jin the second batch would be lu yi,qui yanbo and maybe gong weije and did they win any tournaments?i think only lu yi won 1 last year in russia..so u know wat i am trying to say?
hmm...i tot my thread also have abt back up squad news eh????either one of us must be come from another planet...cant understand each other....
There is still hope Certainly, at this point of time there are no one from the backup that can replace Datuk Lee Chong Wei. We just hope that the backup squad can improve signifficantly within this couple of years to fill up the void that Datuk LCW will sooner vacant. As it looks bleak currently, there is still one youngster that can still give some potential hope if any of our backup fails or other junio players fail. Misbun Ramdan Mohmed Misbun, 17y.o ( Son of our legendary badminton maestro, Datuk Misbun Sidek) Quoted from theStar newspapper dated 25th Feb 2009: "Heading to the top: According to national badminton coach, Datuk Misbun Sidek, Misbun Ramdan Mohmed Misbun has all the ingredients of a top player because he was exposed to the sport of the highest level at a very young age". Hopefully Datuk Misbun is right. No one can't get a much more better exposure like Misbun Ramdan as his father, Datuk Misbun and his uncles (the Sidek Brothers) Rashid, Razif and Jailani Datuk Sidek trains him, as he said to theStar: "I think I’m lucky because all my life I’ve had great coaches. My uncles Rashid, Razif and Jalani have all trained me,” and top of that, his regular sparring partner...who else, Datuk LCW himself "Other advantages of Ramdan continuing his father’s and indeed his whole extended family’s legacy is having Olympic silver medallist, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, as a regular sparring partner." Currently with Nusa Mahsuri, hopefully Misbun Ramdan can spark some light beyond the tunnel in the future of Malaysia Single Badminton event as far as we are concern as well as contuining the great legacy left from his father and uncles. We'll just see
Surrounded by the best shuttlers won't guarantee you to be a good shuttler. So, do not generalizing. Hey..i hope there'll be more exposure for him. Good to see him playing, while his father watching as a coach.
I just hope LCW won't play to the point where it doesn't matter anymore....... kinda like WCH. Hardly ever see him pass quarter final stage since long long time ago.
I think ramdan is the selangor top junior... Not younger brother I think is his older brother, more of a double player... he carry a lot of burden and expectation...
Actually what is the real reason behind the lack of progress by the other MAS Shuttler. Lack of training or lack of talent?
Important question. Poor ability to prioritize. Upcoming wins are more important than the previous one. Administration, coaches and players. All have to take the responsibilities. Blaming game in unnecessary, however. I'd like all of them to learn from it.
erm....for me...the reason is: 1)still need to study when train badminton=the future is not secured(parent opinion and goverment policy)i mean for under 19....some after spm still continue study.... 2)and the 1st reason is because the income of badminton is not enough....for those back up....or bjss student....actualy...it is chicken and egg question... and many more...anyway....the reason have been debate for many time....so...case close...
Nobody can replace Datuk Lee Chong Wei in my heart or Malaysia badminton team. He is the world ranking #1 player and a role model to all the junior players like myself.
