Congrats to Ratchanok Intanon for winning Badminton Asian Championship(although I am late). She now has both world and asian championship titles, not to mention the junior world title. Great going! [MENTION=110176]XoXoXo[/MENTION] Lovely pictures!
Hehe she wore Hendra/Ahsan t-shirt, May said she is a fan I just notice she and Hendra frequently chat on IG, and I don't know how but looks like May can speaks some Indonesian??
Thank [MENTION=110176]XoXoXo[/MENTION] for nice picture because long time this thread was not update.
Congratulation to my May for indonesia open champion. Good prepare for WBC this year in the same venue.
Exhibition match between Ratchanok and Lin Dan a couple of days ago during China League [video=youtube;oqH3W2joxmw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqH3W2joxmw[/video]
Nice find George. Among LD highlights: between the legs net shot (twice, one successful), right handed serve, blowing the shuttle out at the baseline, 2 smashes (one jump) and an assortment of clowning moments

Sad to see her losing. Hopefully she can build up her fitness. Tough world. Wonder if she has given up the hunger after 2013 WC gold.
According to her latest clip, Ratchanok said she had cold and fever 2 weeks ago and been admitted to hospital. As she didn't really want to miss this tournament, she resumed training afterwards. Then, the sickness erupted again just a couple of days before flying to Jakarta. She had to get a saline drip till the day before departure. She didn't disclose this to public at first for fear of people's worry and discouragement. Knowing her condition, she only aimed at entering the round of 8 and apologized all of her fans for not being able to accomplish it. Last night was quite a tough game. Her opponent had a very good game plan and played really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyp0E57nT2g&hd=1 Her clip starting 3:20 So it seemed last night happening was the result of a weak body plus a severe cramp. However, the good news is she said she feels better now and will take better care of herself to be ready for the next tournament.
