i'm not sure they want to make an international incident over this sort of thing. plus it was Li Mao(chinese) against Lin Dan(chinese) LOL...
funny how you use the words, deadly, powerful, weapon when describing lin dan and fragile when talking about li mao. and now people wonder why i'm irritated when people single out lin dan and nobody else!?!??! words can be just as powerful as fists.
Yup, after Huang mentioned the incident, I 'flew' over to HK 2006 thread to read what happened, he he. At the time, there were BCers who suggested Taufik be sanctioned from 3 tournaments, some for remainder of 2006. Many were angry at Taufik unprofessionalism. Now, 2 years later, a 'new record' have been made, hopefully no more "new records" of such nature in future. And yes, I agree, the severity of punishment/sanction should be at least the same as Taufik's.
well all i can say is that i'm glad Lin Dan at least calmed down and finished the match. a walkout/walkover is just as bad as yelling at an umpire enough to earn a yellow card
Sorry if I seem to make a big deal out of it. I don't think it's a big deal. Merely trying to point out a technicality.
“我能理解林丹。”捷克籍羽毛球裁判莫米亚说。虽然自己在27日的韩国羽毛球超级赛男单决赛中的错判，引发了林丹与中国籍的韩国羽毛球队教练李矛的冲突，但当值主裁判莫米亚日前通过电话告诉记者，他并未生林丹的气。 李矛先说话 林丹生气了 时根据你的判断，球是否落在了界内？ 莫米亚（以下简称莫）：这个球打在了林丹身后，从我这个角度无法判断球是否出了边线。当时边裁很肯定地示意我球在界内，电视裁判也给了我同样的提示。我因此坚持认定球在界内。但后来的电视录像证明，当时的判罚是错误的。 记：当时场上发生了什么？ 莫：当时林丹向我走过来，示意我，刚才的球出界了。李矛和林丹离得很近，他好像先对林丹说了什么，然后林丹非常生气，二人争执起来。遗憾的是，我不懂中文，不知道他们在说什么。 能理解林丹 出牌为稳定 记：林丹在场上摔拍子，你当时对他的行为很愤怒吧？ 莫：我能理解林丹。决赛的局面僵持不下，任何运动员都会紧张，情绪一时失控是可以理解的。换作别的运动员的话，可能会有人比林丹更生气吧。 记：可你给林丹出示了黄牌。 莫：由于事发突然，我必须让双方冷静下来。毕竟，在场上摔拍子是不应该的。当时我完全可以出示红牌，这样李铉一可以直接得分，拿下这局比赛，但我不想这样。这局比赛很精彩，胜负应该由运动员在场上决定，而不是我的判罚。这次判罚后，林丹在场上完全冷静下来了。尽管输掉了比赛，他还是走过来和我、李铉一很友好地握了手。 边裁屡出错 似偏韩国队 记：我注意到，在林丹和李铉一的决赛时，你曾多次推翻了边裁判罚，为什么呢？ 莫：边裁在判断上明显出现了不该有的失误，我必须不断纠正边裁的判罚，这让我很恼火。这次韩国超级赛，边裁的判罚出现了很多问题。可能是在主场的原因吧，边裁（全部来自韩国）的判罚似乎有些偏向主队。 记：你觉得边裁是故意的吗？ 莫：也不能这么说。人人都会犯错，可能是因为他们（边裁）太年轻，也可能是因为他们当时没有留神。 Even the umpire said he could understand why LD did what he did and in the article he actually said he is not upset at LD throwing the racket and thinks there could be others that might do much worse under the circumstances... So if BWF also takes what the umpire will report under it's consideration, I would think maybe a fine and maybe a one tournment penalty(50/50)
cancelling one tournament would hopefully deter the others from repeating the same thing. plus, in place of korean open, the SS can be conducted elsewhere for just one year. maybe the USA. as a two pronged method of reprimand for korea and promotion for the US. with good planning we can reduce the loss of revenue and at the same time promote badminton to a wider audience. maybe even a show like the belgium kids did in one of the youtube videos to attract youngsters. a agree that qualified umpires and linesperson be used. lets hire them like a real job. full time. travels with the tournaments. if there's prove that they are bias, fire them. he was joking i think super gao. thus the use of the smiley. just a question, are you justifying LD actions because other people are attacking him or do you think that there's nothing wrong at all with LD's actions? dont mention LM or linesperson. just LD's actions in question here. what would your answer be?
sometimes a walkout/over is better what lindan did is 'horrible' ... in my opinion: if a player feels being cheated and the umpire doesn't response his/her objection/protest many times.. he/she'd better walkout/over than doing something 'endangers' other people
ya but then face the consequences lol. it's taufik's job to play. if he doesn't like it, hit it closer to inside than outside ...hit the opponent in the face and go, "was that in? the light blinded me" ...by walking out, you're not giving the fans their due, and destroying the credibility of the linespersons, whether it was justified as right or not. IMO
not to be racist, but i don't think US has enough coverage of Badminton enough to consider US a SS type of tournament. they still think Badminton is what Chinese people play or what they do in bbq backyards >_>..but i do concur on your point.
lin dan is totally wrong. but you just cannot factor li mao outta the equation. it's like dividing by 0, you just can't do it. anyways, i'm actually going to go play some badminton!! HAHAHA kinda ironic how people think i hate it.
http://www.bbesports.com/news/0801/31a.htm got it from here, just reading all the various badminton news on there...
i never thought you hated badminton. only people who is passionate about one thing can argue passionately about it. i believe everybody here loves badminton. if not they would not be here. i am glad you agree that LD's actions (not LD the human being as a whole) is wrong. just his actions. he might have been provoked and reacted like a human. but his actions are wrong. no two way about that. i was a bit disappointed that there are quite a number of people who thinks that LD should not get penalized at all. even if some people think that he received an unfair treatment and that resulted in his violent outburst, they could have voted with a small fine at the very least to show that they still dont agree fully with his violent conduct. voting that he should not get penalized at all seems to say that it is ok to resort to violence whenever you feel that you have been wronged. i feel sad.
