wow, singhzico, 6 posts in a row... Lu Yi is a strong chalenger, but I think WCH can seal a victory Wei Feng another Chong Wei? I remember Chong Wei amazed us years ago with an upset against Chen Hong, and has amazed us ever since. Lets hope its not a flash in the pan.

Maybe CJ didn't have his standard 8 hours sleep. But congrats to CWF!Rookie beat WR4.Quite a feat.Another Misbun disciple?
Why is CJ blowing 'hot and cold' ? CWF must have 'caught a wind in his sails'. Another overconfident incidence perhaps?

Unlikely injury.With their TCM expertise, CHN players injury usually last 1 or 2 days.(eg LD from AE to SWO) There are 2 possible reasons CJ can lose. 1.Not enough sleep.(That's what he claimed when he lost to Susilo in MO07) 2.No video homework done on his opponent (because there's none available on rookies or Spore's Kendrick L and Susilo) Anyway CJ's the most important MS to watch now. The battle will move on to ABC where CHN MS job is to help pave the way for CJ and non-CHN MS job is to stop CJ.
Wow...impressive...CJ beat Lee Chong Wei in AE semi....Chong Wei Feng beaten CJ in IO first round........considered a revenge huh....... Maybe CJ havent recover from his injury....
However, it is unlikely that Chen Jin will not get to participate in the Olympics. Kenneth and Taufik, his 2 closest competitors, have little oppotunity.
Wow for Chong Wei Feng. Xball, remember Chen Jin had to withdraw from Swiss Open due to injury, maybe not fully recover yet. But big blow for CJ in OG qualifications. Good for CCE/CCM, hope this senior pairing can go far here. Good for the back-up MD, Chan Peng soon/Chang HP too, hope they can reach QF.
Lets say...if KJ wins European Championship.....and CJ didnt perform in ABC....i think CJ will out of No. 4 in WR......and he will not be the 3rd. Chn player to participate in Olympic 08......Thus, if KJ gets No. 4 in WR.....then CJ is gone......
you are right if kenneth wins the european championships (I assume its a GP Gold event), then he will have 58502+1960 = 60462 Chen Jin has to win the ABC to match that. However, if Kenneth does not win, even if he gets to the semifinals, Chen Jin goes to Beijing.
What they meant under Rashid Sidek means back-up squad. Not as 'popular' as TCS of course. Currently no 88. Cant imagine if Msia player lost to a player 84 rungs below them.
