All England 2008 Pics

How come the XD trophies are so much smaller than the others, and the WD trophies are bigger than the WS one? :confused:
Probably they are running out of plates, so they replaced it with bowl. LOL:D

LOL! They come in different sizes and shapes. They must have gotten them on-sales at the local flee-market. Hehe :p
 
looking at all those award photos and considering the numerous upsets and controversies, i believe the winners were the right ones.
 
LD got some explaining to do to XXF. :D:D

I thought I heard someone in the crowd shouting "Lin Dan, wo ai ni" during the AE finals?????? Gosh, no wonder he enjoys playing in NIA. Read this from the AE website :

Defending men's singles champion Lin Dan voted the National Indoor Arena his favourite stadium as he booked his place in his fifth consecutive final, having won the title three times.
Lin Dan said: “This arena is my favourite venue. It’s the best in Europe and possibly the best in the world. I feel very comfortable here and the crowd are very supportive.
Then he joked: “I’m not bored of winning here but bored with the prizemoney – I think it should be increased!” If he wins he will net $US 15,000 with the women’s champion receiving a similar amount for the first time this year.

"Lin Dan, wo ai ni" translates into "Lin Dan, I love you", which is not that unusual for the particular location, culture, venue, and etc. We hear them all the time in concerts everywhere ;)

"Jealous" instead of "Joyous" for screen name? (my apology for the joke), and my sincere thank for bringing up an interesting subject :p:D

Ha..ha..No problem at all and I am not jealous - am happy and joyous to hear positive remarks than negative ones like 'boos'. Perhaps that's why he insist on finishing the match so as not to let the spectators down.
 
lin dan`s female fans..hehehh:D:p

I never get hugs like this after playing badminton. What am I doing wrong?
 
i bet XXF is somewhere in the vicinity......:D
he'll have more than a bad knee once she sees this!!

You were playing at a wrong place for sure ;)

Not too sure - if you bring your beautiful significant other along - more hugs externally or knee jerking internally :rolleyes:
 
wow, that's a bit harsh, he did beat both sony and LCW after all, so regardless of whether we believe that LD 'gave' him the title in the final, he still played and beat some very good players to get to that final. i think he deserves more credit than everyone is giving here.

That's right, I agree! :)
