Interesting... I would expect people to say that Lin Dan has not been tested in this year's AE, instead of people claiming that he is in good form. If Olympics is not happening this year, then there is nobody can stop Lin Dan from winning tomorrow... but like you said, tomorrow is a whole different story with ranking point being so crucial. It's all the "limitation of players from a country" rule's fault.
I am very impressed with the ENTIRE Korean team in the last few weeks. Their improvement has been amazing, and it shows in their results. They are the ones to watch in the upcoming tournaments. GO Lee Yong Dae!!!
off topic not really shocking, quite expected, in my state that is. If you're not 1st timer voter, you'll see it coming. Hmmm, Badmania - Shanghai & GD Sports really not showing?? Mine is still buffering.
second that about the KOR team. they have improved immensely this year. here's hoping that this excellent form will continue throughout the year. KOR 17-16 over CHN...getting tense
Towards who/what? Like I said before, I was hoping for a Bao vs CJ final(after CJ beat LCW)... not that I think Lin Dan needed another AE win this year, whereas both Bao and CJ don't have any major title to show for. Maybe bias against LYB? I am just thinking he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, after he denied the only match I want in my badminton matches collection (Bao vs CJ), and not giving Bao some additional point to secure his Olympic spot. As of today, the difference between Bao and CJ are so little, and not that big of a gap between them and the #5 player.
