    Man, off the court, they looked simply unspectacular. A lot of young badminton fans will be shocked at seeing Li Yongbo in this pic. ;)

    Thanks for the memories, Bbn.

    Shang Fumei is now coaching in Singapore's Chinese Swimming Club. She recently partnered Singapore's ex-national player, Robert Lim, in the XD at the inaugural S'pore Masters but lost out in the Semi-Finals to a relatively young team.

    Awright, Misbun! Bbn, any more of his ever changing hairstyle? As far as I know his hair changes shape every year, not sure if it changed colours though. He'd be like David Beckham of badminton.

    How about the entire squad of Denmark, Indonesia as well.

    i know a guy who is a very good badminton player and he still have a big afro style haircut. i always wonder how he managed to do a around the head smash but he seems to handle it very fine!
