Very sad thing, that Bodin Issara beat Jongjit up. Not in Badminton. Free fight. I'm very disappointed. [video=youtube;C7Lct0CJu0A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C7Lct0CJu0A[/video]

Y'all better unionize and start a petition for ergodynamic chairs next year. Everyone's posture in that photo is horrible!

1:28 And there's me standing really awkwardly after coming inside to see what the fuss was all about, too bad I missed most of it.
A few of them Osim chairs will do nicely... Edit: and with all the attention the Canada Open is receiving, it may well be a SS event in a coupla years time!
Osim has come on board as the series title sponsor from 2011, China's winning since then are; [TABLE="width: 500"] [TR] [TD][TABLE="class: grid, width: 499"] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]MS[/TD] [TD]WS[/TD] [TD]MD[/TD] [TD]WD[/TD] [TD]XD[/TD] [TD]Total[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Super Series[/TD] [TD="align: right"]12[/TD] [TD="align: right"]20[/TD] [TD="align: right"]10[/TD] [TD="align: right"]25[/TD] [TD="align: right"]16[/TD] [TD="align: right"]83[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Super Series Final[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [TD="align: right"]8[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I believe they gave away 2 chairs for the doubles title therefore the total number is 146 chairs. Nor quite enough to fill up a jumbo jet, yet.
If I'm not wrong, it's one chair for the doubles titlist, not two. Also OSIM didn't award massage chairs for every occasion, sometimes it's shoulder or leg massager or some suchlike from what I've recalled of the prize presentation ceremonies. Wonder what CBA do with all of them - hope players who've won more than one chair get to keep one for their own use at home as an incentive.
seem to recall seeing Osim presenting 2 pictures of the chair to the double winners. a bit too deceptive to present 2 pictures of the same chair, wouldn't you think?
In that case, you might be right. I just thought it strange that the prize money for doubles isn't more than for singles, so offhand assumed the same for the OSIM chairs. But if as you said there were two OSIM pictures presented to the doubles winners one each, then what you say is correct. I'm sure we can confirm this at the next Superseries prize presentation ceremony, short of checking with BWF or OSIM itself.
