The Japanese teams appear to have been more consistent than other teams. Thailand has also done quite well, followed by Korea. I hope these players continue to improve over the years. It will create more competition and more excitement!
Japan has done very well at this event! Congratulations to team Japan So has Thailand, but to some extents that is to be expected. The Thai youngsters do well very often, but they appear to run into problems later on when they grow out of the Juniors circuit. I believe it is because they need to concentrate on education?
I think so.... many of thai players are very good in education. even, Pisit Poodchalat just got into Chulalongkorn University (the best university in Thailand). Nitchaon also. but i forgot her university. if i am not mistaken, it is silpakorn university (good univ also). I think, they got busier in education than in badminton. as from what i know, study in Thai univ is quite tough. much tougher than studying in INA univ i think (from my experience).
