Chinese too good this afternoon................21-16............

 

[cooler]

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time

based on rules..
one country can only send 3 pairs maximum if only the third pair ,in this case (Xie/Zhang) ranking must be on the top 4 (like in MS and WS,CHN can send 3 representatives because there was Lin Dan,Bao,Chen in the top 4 MS,and also XXF,LL,ZN,and ZL in the top 4 WS)...

pity XZB/ZYW ranked 5th at that time before OG,so they did not qualified to play in OG

mean while...CHN pair lead 11-8 in the 2nd game

thx for the explanation. I don't follow XD rankings but i alway see XZB/ZYW as china's #1 or #2 XD pair.

ZYW gave her flowers to Sally Yeh... Haha...

 

[cooler]

since tony G, candra W were in HK, organizer should repeat the same celebrity short game with sally yeh and another HK star like they did in 2007

 

[robin7]

I saw Miss Hong Kong 1998 cum TVB actress Heong Hoi Lam.

 

[lin_xingfang]

Chen Jin and Lin Dan on the court right now...

 

[lin_xingfang]

thx for the explanation. I don't follow XD rankings but i alway see XZB/ZYW as china's #1 or #2 XD pair.

i agree..
compared to inconsistent HHB/YY
I prefer XZB/ZYW as the main CHN XD pair
now they already beat the olympic champions and also beat the current World champions & WR number 1 pair twice in a row

 

[lin_xingfang]

mean while

Chen Jin 5
Lin Dan 1

LD making lots of silly errors

 

[robin7]

they ranked 5th before OG
while CHN has already 2 pairs in the big 4 (Zheng/Gao & He/Yu) at that time...

They could have been ranked higher if they were not asked to make way to HHB/YY. In fact, HHB/YY were in the top 4 by, ahem, team order.

Meanwhile, it looks like an exhibition match between LD & CJ.

LD influenced the umpire to call it a "let".

 

[badMania]

Xie Zhongbo/Zhang Yawen could not make it to the top 4 as they lost in the Badminton Asia Championships to Nova/Butet. That's why they kissed their OG hope goodbye.

 

[cooler]

i never type this before, LD is getting owned

19-9 for CJ

CJ takes 1st set, 21-9

 

[lin_xingfang]

14 smash winner for CJ in the 1st set????

never happen before even to LD

 

[geebees90]

It seemed to be difficult to control the shuttle from Lin's Side at first set......maybe the hall is windy..........And I think CJ knows Lin's Game very well, He's always been blocking him very well...

 

[geebees90]
