Lee Chong Wei was reminding Peter Gade to wear Taufik Hidayat's shirt . LCW was reminding PG to wear TH's shirt for the prize presentation ceremony. .
Yuk! That must stink! (unless of course, you mean, the TH Arena shirt... which of course, you do! ...)
. Yes, it's about the Taufik Hidayat's Arena T-shirts that LCW and PG were given to wear. LCW was worried that PG could have forgotten. .
. Actually, the INA MD pairs are still doing OK up to today. Although not positioned at the very top rankings, they have 3 pairs in the Top 10. Only KOR have 2 pairs there; another 5 countries (CHN, DEN, MAS, TPE and JPN) have 1 pair each. We now find; Ranked 7: Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan Ranked 8: Alvent Yulianto Chandra/Hendra Aprida Gunawan Ranked 10: Muhammad Ahsan/Bona Septano Source (2011 Week 25): http://bwfbadminton.org/page.aspx?id=14955 .
At the Finals stage, stamina s gonna be an important factor in deciding the winner. When youngsters like INA MD (in SF) and XD strategise to win G1 by expending 50% of their energy reserve, they have to 'rest' during G2 and lift often to burn up CHN opponents reserve otherwise there s no match in G3. If they only have 20% energy against CHN s 50% in G3, they will be lucky to get 10 points. If 40% against 50% , at least there s a chance with crowd support. Still, for INA WD and XD to get into finals is an achievement considering their experience.
Oh, i see.. if want to count like that, very hard la..... Silver or bronze considered a failure it seems Haiz, mas has yet to produce a world champion yet.. maybe this year?
Last year, with China swept all the titles, all the other country returned home empty handed. The year before last year, China got 4 titles out of 5, left the XD to Denmark, so almost all the country returned home empty handed except Denmark. Not only Indonesia, but also Malaysia, Korea, they all returned home empty handed for years. No worries.
Just wanna share videos taken by me from Indonesia Open final day! Women Double Entrance - they brought such an amazing opening for Vita Marissa and Nadya Melati [video=youtube;6GuOaWClrK0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GuOaWClrK0[/video] Mixed Double Entrance - similar to WD entrance, but this is more awesome with Tantowi Ahmad & Lilyana Natsir' names written in lasers <3 [video=youtube;4gf5wWo9CFc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gf5wWo9CFc[/video]
