After this year's poor results... are you telling me that Hafiz and KKK/TBH are not going to retire yet?
I hope ZYW changes her mind, and just come back like ZN. She's my favorite MXD player, due to her fighting spirit.
hafiz is getting pretty old, and plus his physical is a question :S i thought tbh is still young :S why retire so early they didn't do too bad this year
KKK/TBH is still young but i think they are going to split..... as for HH dont worry he is not going to quit....BAM will keep him like forever.........and dont need to produce result.....
i read from somewhere that this will be the 1st and the last olympics for Xie Xingfang... that's why she looks so sad and disappointed yesterday :crying: i wonder if XXF lost will affect Lin Dan performance tonight.... hopefully not....
sure Zhang Ning will retire due to her age (and achieved 2nd Gold Medal in history)... of course WCH and CTF/LWW will retire as well... Taufik? i dun know...
This might have been XXF's last match, she already said she'll go back to Guangdong now and see if she keep on playing or not. This year will certainly be the last for Peter Gade, he already said he wants the younger to take his place. Maybe after CPH. I think Wang Chen will retire if not now, during the year i guess
Cai Yun looks young @ 28.... Hope He will not retire and can be with Fu for next Olym.... Isn't Zhang Ya Wen only 18-19?!
I wouldn't call myself a XXF fan, but I hope she won't retire yet. She is too good and such a big part of the game that I hope she will continue playing.
i think i ever read about XXF,that she will retire after OG because she wanna be a wife who cooks and take care of her future husband,LD.. ya thats why she look so disappointed yesterday.. i think she said that MAYBE because she think she'll wins in WS..
Maybe Xie looks disappointed knpwing her baddy career is over and now, she has to learn how to cook...and cook good food...
Nothing more for ZN to prove...except if she wants AE title...I met ZN at WC05, not an air of arrogance and graciously took pictures with anyone, I remember it took me a long time to setup my camera and she would wait and that was being a defending WC...I am so glad she won. As for LYB picking her instead of ZL, if ZN is out, CHN would have 3 first timers playing WS in OLY held in her CHN's backyard, no experience and that would be a scary thought for LYB.
Wong Choong Han will not retire! He will play in the German "Bundesliga" for EBT Berlin. He will play both MS and MD. So whoever wants to watch him playing should come to Germany. He will be active the whole season from Sep. 2008 onwards.
EBT Berlin, its owner is a pssionate badminton millonaire. He wanted XXZ for years, but didn't succeed. This year, he managed to lure WCH. And it's officially announced, and WCH is a registered player for the German Bundesliga now.
