. For our interested BCers, let us take a look at the matches of the 2012 Badminton Asia Championships from Qualifications (Tuesday 17-Apr-2012) to the Quarter-Finals (Friday 20-Apr-2012). For Schedule of Matches; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...27E1D2-DD7D-451F-BE52-EA4FA37FFAF5&d=20120417 For Time in Qingdao, China; http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_CN.aspx For our BC PAW Game; Sandy will start it from Quarter-Finals (Friday 20-Apr-2012) onwards. For Live Streaming; Perhaps BCers from different countries can post the links that are working for their regions. Different countries sometimes cannot use the same links. In Australia, we hope this link will work: http://www.badmintonlink.com/Watch-Badminton-Live-Stream/2012_Badminton_Asia_Championships .
Assuming Taufik withdraws, INA only has 2 players in MS. MS R64 Artur Niyazov vs Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [13] - a warm-up match for Hayom and I hope e fulfills his seeding to meet Chen Long in R16. Sameer Verma vs Simon Santoso [4] - a tricky opening match for Simon, but he's expected to reach SF at least.
. Chen Jin is too good for Chong Wei Feng. Chen Jin won 21-14 in Game 1. In Game 2, Chen Jin is leading 20-09. This live-stream link is working OK for me in Melbourne, Australia; http://www.badmintonlink.com/Watch-Badminton-Live-Stream/2012_Badminton_Asia_Championships .
. After 30 minutes, Lee Hong Je is still behind Hu Yun. Game 1: LHJ-HY: 17-21 Game 2: LHJ HY: 15-19 .
Hmmm. wonder what happened?

actually, i am disappointed that korea place Kang Ji Wook in MD. they have many talents in MD already. still need more in MS. Lee Hong Je is still way behind Kang in term of talents... all the best for Lee... he will get many opportunities i think...
Sameer Verma vs Simon Santoso [4] ... Simon just managed the first game 21-19 after 19-19...and sameer is leading 6-3 in the second...this 17 year old lad has some great potential
. I believe that Simon is taking things easy (knowing that he would win). Hope that Sameer can make Simon to work harder. .
Simon Santoso clears first round hurdle, def.Sameer Verma 21-19 / 21-14. Next, local player Gao Huan will be his opponent tomorrow.
that's ok... korea still have LYD/KSH after olympic... they have around 5 years more... korea still have time to find a new talent for MD... in MS, LHI is too old for korea... WHS is not making a big step also... HJH is an old story... that's why i think korea need MS talent more than in MD...
