Korean pair spell trouble http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/ojpewpjiewjk2/Article/index_html i tot it would be kim ki jung instead of ko sung hyun? anyway just like what i said atleast 3 pair wont be there
only koo/tan and lee/jung are the top 4 pair who won a ss title until now as i said the trend are different now am waiting my day
Out of the top 4, the only ones who might stay on with the same partner is probably KKK/TBH and MK/HS, but even MK/HS are doubtful. KKK/TBH needs more discipline and consistence before they can make it big in the 2012 OG, their start of this season was with 1 SS title at home, we shall see if they can take more or get better than a bronze at the WC later... Why only this top 4? Some other upcoming pair like Chai Biao/Zhang Nan might actually take it. (Although I think they are slightly overrated )
it's either the cai/fu or we'll see neither of them appear. cai yun wished to retire after sudirman cup last yr, bt was concern about fu hai feng. when he casually suggested to FHF that he find a new partner for AG and OG '12, FHF said that if Cai Yun retire, then he will end his career too, because since they started and grow tgt, it's only natural they retire tgt. After Sudirman Cup, Cai Yun's flame blazed again and touched by FHF's trust/determination, he decided to give his career another 4 yrs. So Cai/Fu will definitely strive for OG '12 now that Cai Yun decided not to retire. There's an article on them entitled 'We're going to London together' can't predict who will win, but we can expect good fight from Cai/Fu if they made it to OG '12
Then he will have the heroic retreat he always dream of we shall see, it's still a long way to go looking forward to this year's WC and AG
will lee/fang become the 1st md pair to win 2 ss title in 2010? or the korean pair will become the 6th winner in 6 ss
Still too early to say.. Let's wait and see whether they can maintain this kind of top form till then
had mention this 7 months ago until now,only one pair won 2 title in ss and gp gold and this pair is not the so called top 4 pair in the world cai yun/fu hai feng yet to win a ss or gp gold this year koo/tan and lee/jung have one ss each while kido/hendra have one gp gold in belt let see what they have in the 2nd half of the year
with new rule applying as top player/pair need to play at least 8 ss(5 pss) i think this is taxing for some aging top player cai yun/fhf will be 31/27 next year and we can see they lost steam in the asian games can they maintain their form through out the year?(8 ss + wc+ team event=10 at least) jjs will be 29,and they lost surprisingly in the semi final when tagged as heavy favorite hoping more new face to challenge the top four i believe they can do it
