Major or not, SEA Games still a important event for MAS Baddy team... Yes, i am most happy to have a chance to eat humble pie if MAS really manage to take more than two gold medals from INA in SEA Games. I'll pray very hard for it. If MAS susceeded, I praise .....as always.
INA badminton squad for 2009 Laos SEA Games The Merah Putih squad : MS -- Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Simon Santoso, Tommy Sugiarto WS -- Adriyanti Firdasari, Maria Kristin Yulianti, Lindaweni Fanetri MD -- Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, Mohammad Ahsan/Bona Septano WD -- Greysia Polii/Nitya Krishinda Maheswari, Shendy Puspa Irawati/Meiliana Jauhari XD -- Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir, Devin Lahardi Fitriawan/Lita Nurlita -source : KOMPAS print edition (Tuesday, 1st December 2009)
How much limit player number every squad ? We don't want mess again like 2 years ago when INA changed XD because the limit was 16 players (8 mens and 8 womens). If the limit still same, maybe Devin/Lita replaced with combination of Bona/ Ahsan and Greysia/Shendy.
Hendrawan still believes in Hafiz http://www.bam.org.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1476&Itemid=1
Haha..I think the two golds target is pretty realistic..As we know, Mas will always spring surprise with lower hope but fare badly with high profile.I am sure jason will be willing to eat the humble pie if Mas win more than two..
tough draw as always 4 Ina....... Lets see : Mens Team final should be Ina vs Mas Womens Team : Ina should overcome Sin first, which is 50-50 chance.... Unbelievable draw for our MS R1 : ( Simon vs Boonsak ???) and (SDK vs Hafiz???) WTH?? WS Its tough for Firda vs Intanon in R2 not to mention MKY facing XAY in R1.... MD Bona/Ahsan vs KKK or Hendri/Hendra in SF Kido vs Fuzzy WD Bigger chance for GeNit rather than Mel/Shen to reach the final XD NoLyn should win the gold...
well, that's understatement.....Hafiz is coached by Hendrawan and is in good form lately.....no one know what in store for SDK.....
2009 SEA Games: Draw . Thanks setia84 for the info. Wonder why VIE and CAM won't be sending their Womens teams? And also why is Brunei missing? .
maybe Vie and Cam don't have enough players to meet the quota in team's event.... as for Brunei, maybe they dont prioritized to grab the gold in this sport....as this multievent, perhaps they prefer to concentrate on the other sports...
Badminton schedule at 2009 Laos SEAG official website is still using initial drawing of Men's & Women's team -- http://laosoc.laoseagames2009.com/R...e_2.aspx?sid=2&sname=Badminton&scode=bm&fid=2
First Bronze to Indonesia from Water Polo... Gold for SIngapore (defending champion from 1965) and Silver for Philiphines
Hi Etudiant and Chris, The whole selected Vietnamese teams are from Saigon. The ladies players of the others regions, like Da Nang(in the center of the country), Hanoi or Thai Binh(northern regions), are as good as the Saigon's ladies team formed by Nguyen Nhung and Hong Gam, but most of them are younger and prefer ...studies in that period of the year.
