I don't know if it is smart of him to fool around with those 'miss'es though while he was just about to go up. Maybe after he has won more Golds or he is satisfied with his career then he could do whatever he wants. Not that I have anything against artists but they are paparazzi and gossiper magnet, it might interfere with his other life. He should focus in his career first before causing any scandals or anything that could jeopardize his uprising career. Oh well, that's just a hope I have as a big supporter of this pairing. He is a big boy, he can do anything he want. But let's pray that his brain is in his head not in his pants.
Who? Taufik and LD did. Taufik had a kid and LD since had apologized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It' s all over the news since this morning haha. Even if it's true, what to gain tho, she's almost seven years older than him.
Haha it is an understandable concern as we've seen many of our uprising athletes, not only in badminton, got distracted by the flash lights they got after winning few championships. They become more like celebrities and less as an athletes.
He is doing just fine. You want to test the waters. 1 ex miss indonesia is great, 2 is even better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He is pretty young, talented, a lot of fans (and haters), a lot of spotlights, controversies, surounded by babes, has gain quite sum of moneys along his way to fame. Basically Justin Bieber of badminton haha It's quite slippery position to be at. Lets just hope for the best he won't make a stupid mistake that ruin his career
Actually i doubt that Kevin will be distracted by those women. He's been at the National Training Center since 11, he even decided to drop out of elementary school to chase his dream in badminton. I just read a news article where Kevin said that the more victory he gains, the more afraid he is of being defeated. I think it's more like those women get too excited with Kevin, might think that they're using Kevin to boost their fame . Btw, Kevin bought that Ford Mustang several months before AE.
We never know what's really in his head... Whether it is arrogance or full of determination or whatever. I've always thought he was the cheeky type instead of arrogant until I overheard that post match discussion with Gideon (vs Chen/Wang in AE)... (Of course I might misheard that, but there's no denying that he sometimes acts/thinks with "I'm-the-best-what-you-gonna-do" mindset) Anyway, my friends and I have joked about that famed airshot fault as God's message not to do something not necessary lol
For sure we never know what really is going in his mind but then again who could. His head is obviously different from others. Most gifted or talented (geniuses) people have different mindsets than normal people, since they see the world differently. Otherwise they would just be ordinary not extraordinary. Lin Dan another example, people also said he was arrogant, but if he weren't he wouldn't be the GOAT. Well, that is just my opinion though. Not everyone has the same perception toward this matter. I don't mind arrogance much as long as they really have the skill or ability to back it up. Is that mindset was toward Gideon or toward the opponents if I may ask? If God had a message for him, I'd say even God made a mistake in delivering it this time. Apparently it didn't stop him at all, just to stop him doing it far from the umpire to doing it in front of the umpire. lol. The best way to stop him is to have the umpire give him a warning. He listens to cautions but doesn't keep quiet to mistreatment. The Indonesian Masters final and Indian Open final were the obvious instances. He apologized and stopped his stupid antics right away. In Indonesian Masters he was warned against his staring down the opponents, afterward whenever he was about to come close to the net, he jogged around the net instead. In Indian Open he was warned against distraction (air shots) and he stopped doing it afterward. So if it bothered everyone maybe they should ask the umpire to stop him every time he does it. But the question is, would the match still be as interesting or be less fun to watch if his antics were to be stopped? It surely adds some humor to the matches, or at least to me personally. The matches were sometimes too tense to watch and his antics surely lighten up the tension. It was like watching a little cheeky kid playing with adults, quite harmless.
Super Dan maybe arrogant in his hey day, he was never disrespectful to his opponents, regarding them 2 especially Suka, there's a fine line between Confidence and Arrogant, what is lacking in his armour is ''Humility'', that is what endears you to people, i hope for his sake he has many beautiful sunsets in front of him, just remember though you're on the crest of a wave,there's always a bigger one looming on the horizon.
I am not sure about this one But I am pretty sure this is one of the most poetic post in this thread :thumbsup:
So he basically said: "Mau siap kayak apa kalau kualitasnya cuma gitu, dia pasti baliknya ngambang-ngambang aja" ("No matter how ready [they are] if the quality is only like that, the return [shot] will be just 'floating'") 'Floating' is the term usually used to describe smash which is weak and not penetrating the defense (not sure how to describe that). Gideon replied with "Uh huh, I am only suprised at the beginning"
