Xd Sf Just watched NW/LN vs KOR and He/Yu vs POL (in this order). After watching the first one, I thought, He/Yu has good chance beating the INA pair; After watching the 2nd one (only the 2nd game), I thought, no, no chance. The INA pair will win. LOL.
Today we will see the crowning of the WS and MD Gold medalists. here are my predictions: Sat Aug 16 10:00 Women's Singles Bronze Medal LU Lan vs YULIANTI Maria Kristin Maria's performance against ZN was so-so yesterday. but Lu Lan overall haven't been too stable either, just like her normal self. i think Maria will have a slight edge if she manage to keep shots consistent. Sat Aug 16 11:00 Men's Doubles Bronze Medal RASMUSSEN Jonas / PAASKE Lars vs HWANG Jiman / LEE Jaejin JR/LP all the way! Sat Aug 16 12:00 Women's Singles Gold Medal XIE Xingfang vs ZHANG Ning ZN has inspired me way more than XXF in this OG. Sat Aug 16 18:30 Mixed Doubles Semifinal NATSIR Lilyana / WIDIANTO Nova vs HE Hanbin / YU Yang the Chinese youngsters will have to contend with just a bronze. Sat Aug 16 19:30 Mixed Doubles Semifinal MARISSA Vita / LIMPELE Flandy vs LEE Hyojung / LEE Yongdae close match, i think INA will grab both Gold/Silver. LHJ never an inspiration. Sat Aug 16 20:30 Men's Singles Bronze Medal LEE Hyunil vs CHEN Jin LHI was pretty impressive yesterday. CJ less so. Sat Aug 16 21:30 Men's Doubles Gold Medal KIDO Markis / SETIAWAN Hendra vs CAI Yun / FU Haifeng I am going to support Cai/Fu here. they are absolutely in form this OG.
Mdf Got no chance to watch CY/FHF vs KOR yet. From what I saw in their first match, I think MK/HS has better chance. Also I think Lu Lan and XXF will win in WS.
LU Lan vs YULIANTI Maria Kristin - I think Lu Lan is still superior skill wise + home crowd support together give an advantage over Maria. RASMUSSEN Jonas / PAASKE Lars vs HWANG Jiman / LEE Jaejin - Close call but my heart goes to Jones and Lars!!!! XIE Xingfang vs ZHANG Ning - GJ for ZN to reach final again, but I am going to pick XXF this time, it got to be XXF!!! LILIYANA / WIDIANTO Nova vs HE Hanbin / YU Yang - We know who is the daddy here. Could home advantage help an upset???? I don't think so MARISSA Vita / LIMPELE Flandy vs LEE Hyojung / LEE Yongdae - Never though the Korean could reach this far, but I guess that's it for them. LEE Hyunil vs CHEN Jin - 50:50 here I say. But I would like to see LHI to get Bronze. KIDO Markis / SETIAWAN Hendra vs CAI Yun / FU Haifeng - Could go either way. But what can I say, both my favirote MD team has reached the final, let's hope it will be a good show with score like 0-21, 21-0, 30-28
i want to see 30-29 / 29-30 / 29-30 that would make up for the impending depression i will get when the Olympics is over.
good point. i won't have depression anymore, but will die of heart attack. i do wish i will manage to see who wins before my heart stop beating completely.
