Another 'guess who this is'

Hey Guys, don't take the credit away from me, esp. BRL! But at least BRL is not shy to say so, unlike Kwun. By the way, BRL, have you seen Xie face to face?

 

Well

I asked for her phone no first so get in line boys and behave. I would do her laundry and dishes anyday

 

Re: Well

Haha freeheeler, fret not. u have one less competitor in me simply cos... i wun want HER number!!

 

Huang Hua

Another China beauty whom I've encountered is Huang Hua. Beautiful face but not as tall as Xie, I think, but equally well-proportioned and can easily qualify as a super model.

I suppose HH is way ahead of your time as she was active in the early 90's and was a Bronze medalist in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. She had a short badminton career and with a face like her's, no one would expect her to stay long. I think one Indonesian towkay (or was he from Hong Kong?) was quick to appreciate her assets and grab her before anyone else did.

She did appear in a few Singapore Opens and always created a great deal of excitement among the men spectators, who would abandon their current matches and flock to see her play. Although her badminton attire then was a bit more subdued, she was as sexy looking as any of today's female tennis players!

Wish someone can post a picture of the incomparable Huang Hua. Maybe Bbn has a clip of her in action?

Here's Huang Hua in 92 Uber Cp Final.

 

2nd

Wow, seems same type as Xie. Long legs and model type body shape.

 

-

I think Gu Jia Ming also impressive and her career even shorter.

Here's shot from 1988 Uber Cup.

 

Incredible hey? This one is found in a Japanese site.

here is a portion of a letter Huang Hua wrote to her first coach. I found it pretty interesting. Any volunteer translating it? Thanks in advance.

Many thanks, Bbn. I knew you can be relied upon to produce pics (and even other records) of former badminton stars.

No problem, Loh. Here;s another of Huang Hua.

 

Guess who this is 3 from 92 Uber

-

 

this looks like Ye ZhaoYing...

 

That's an amazing jump with her legs straight! How did she do it?

 

-

Hey only Joanne noticed that!

That winning jump was when Huang Hua won the 3rd point for China

against Korea in 92 Uber Cup Final.

Huang Hua was tall , played very much the same style as Chen Hong today,

maybe she was a high jumper as well.

 

What I meant was, is that kind of jump with straight legs possible? Or some kind of camera trick? Wish I can jump that high with straight legs...

 

looks more like levitation.
Maybe that's where David Blaine got the idea from...

 

i just happened to come across this thread and noticed it has been lying dormant for quite a while but i cannot believe that some of you ppl do not think that xie xingfang is good looking!!! Those of you who say she isn't... that is BLASPHEMY!!!

sorry if i sound a bit obssessed but in truth i am

i apologise for disrupting you guys fantasising about levitation and huang hua and so on but i really need to make my point here...

xie is sizzling, drop-dead gorgeous hot... by far the best in the whole of badminton (carola bott isn't bad though, have to agree with you there)

i agree with kwun in that she is cool too... i was so mad in the Hong Kong open finals this year cuz i didn't get to see her up close before she left halfway thru with bao chunlai i think (btw she was talking very animatedly with him all the time...so jealous)

sorry to bore you people...
