kwun, can u identify winston_t ip adress.?? maybe next time if he makes another account again, u can tell us ok? haha..
i've made my point, no need to keep going to see who got the deeper frying pans. Like others have said, a win is a win. You said I believed JXP is the best player, i never ever said or noted that before. Go check my profile. One important point. TH played in 2 olympic games, won 1 medal LD only played in 1 olympic game, lost 1, with one good bullet left. In 2008, TH will use up 3 bullets, let see how many medal he will win. If i can PAW twice as many matches, i can beat you too
A bit off topic-Speaking of comparison.. ..hmm, if that's going to be the case, then there's no need to reply to his posts in the future..It's simply a matter of personal opinion.. .for comparison purposes, i've attached 2 links showing the MS lineups/draws of the 2000 & 2004 Olympics. IMO, one can argue all day that either lineup/draw is "superior" or deeper than the other...But how do we judge the "depth" of those lineups/draws??... (2000)http://internationalbadminton.org/changes/Excel seet/sydney/MS/32athensms.xls (2004)http://internationalbadminton.org/changes/Excel seet/athens/Athens_MS/32athensms.xls But the more interesting question is, how about this yr's OG's MS lineup?? Is it more "superior" and "deeper" than those other 2?? If so, can one validate that this yr's OG MS winner is the best one amongst the previous ones??..
JXP is the top player in CHINA at his prime... He always beat the likes of XXZ & CH in China but cant perfrom outside China press wasnt suprise he perform that good but suprise that he perform that good outside CHina for the 1st time. He nail the ultimate prize and that's what matter. Down the year... people will only remember who win Olympic not his opponent
I say LD really deserves that title since his dominance in MS the last years, But LCW will be absolutely motivated as well... But!! Shouldn't be too focused on the big names and the high ranks, Lee Hyun Il... he'll do great I think! And Finally:I hope not Sung Hwan Park or BCL
LD deserve it because he has been marvelous for the past 4years... No.1 isnt an easy task! But he will be main focus of opponents... they will study his game
I totally agree! 1st: Becoming n°1 is really hard 2nd: Being n°1 is possaby even harder: You can only "lose" everyone that plays against you is 150% motivated and wants to win even harder. That's what's going to happen in Beijing as well, everyone will be extremely motivated and have studied his game... LD is the one who carries the heaviest burden in Beijing. Luckily for him he has a strong personality, which is to be admired. Lot's of people think of him as arrogant etc.. but I think it's his self confidence and his will to win which keep his motivation and his personality standing during a match!
You must be with abit of arrogant to be Top Player, self conficent! True... true... every good player need this cant lose attitude to maintain TOP!
Haiya Cooler....pls read as I refer to drag queen Rachel wood.. regarding the PAW..you are on course to break the record... As I said...yo know that..we have no high expectation on TH..you can use any bullets you want...
(now) we don't expect Th to win in OG 2008.. but if he wins , it will be very very great ... and the history will repeat
i hightlighted the semi finalists of 00 and 04 OG, the BF members can make their own judgement. Just remember one thing, JXP beat a deception master to win the title, TH beat a low ranking player with a handicapp to win his title
TH did not choose his opponents..it happened that all strong ones lost early rounds...as you said..a win is a win...pls give TH's credit... are you saying that whoever beat Ronald susilo ( whom he beat LD in 1st round) was handicapped too?? I could argue that hendrawan was not that strong opponents anymore in 2000 ...( as as you mentioned that ZJH was not healthy 1992 but still could fight in intensed 3 sets.)
