Draw for the Beijing Olympic Games Badminton events
- Thread starter chris-ccc
- Start date
Random ramblings...
- With his contraction of Dengue Fever, I'm not sure TH will clear WCH.
- LD will be severely tested by PSH. Not something LD wanted so early.
- Fu/Cai are presented with an easy path to the SF.
- MD draw is chock full of exciting matches.
- Classic encounter between GL/ZB and GE/NR on the cards.
- ZN faces a stacked draw in her half, including JJY, PHY, WC and Tine
Time for people to reassess their predictions. I certainly will

Hmm..
..but not necessarily an easy path for Fu & Cai to the Finals, IMO (a few of BCers thought the same also). If CTF & LWW can survive through their rounds, CHN's top MD pair will most likely meet their arch-nemesis before the Finals (and we all know how their matches had been recently). Yeah, CTF & LWW's 1st round match is definitely going to be one heck of a battle; but i'm going with the vets in this one.
Even Luluk & Alvent have an outside chance of going quite far (they've been almost un-noticeable)..
But yeah, concur with the MD excitement.
..to the Semis, yes...

Now some people can say....expect the UPSETS....hehe
There will be tons of exciting encounters on the first day already.
KJ VS LHI - Very bad luck for the Danish veteran. I wished him to make it to the SF, but he is not likely to pass LHI.
SD vs PB - not easy for either of them.
TH vs WCH - Again, bad luck for the veteran.
LCW vs Ronald - Another first round miracle would fail BC's hope for reaching 1 million posts during OG.
RN/EG vs ZB/GL - wth, first round????
MD is craziest - every seeded pairs is facing a tougher first draw than the non-seeded.
WS - XXF has a better paths than ZN, but TR looks bright to enter the final too.
I think we can expect some major upset on first day.

Guess who's this player??..
And guess when was this pic taken??..
..i think we probably can guess who she is....and esp. madbad...

I hope she can regain her pre-injury form quickly. I'm calling for her to upset the inconsistent ZN in R16
Hahaha, you hit the nail on the head. 1 million posts on BC will hang heavy on LCW's shoulders. Do you think we should pile the pressure on him by letting him know??
what if,
mens singles draw seem abit the-usual-draw we usually see.
IF, Lin dan beat PSH
IF, Chen jin beat taufik.H
IF, Bao CL beat Lee chong wei
it will be an all chinese final.
My prediction:
tough match for lin dan vs PSH>> lin dan will go through and most
probably take it there from chen jin.
I hope, Lee chong wei will be able to win Bao CL. this match will be
even exciting either.
Mens FINAL: LIN DAN VS LEE CHONG WEI (most desired match to watch) hope they play as if there wont be tomorrow
to me, i dont see which will be the eventual winner. it will depend on how they play on the day itself..
and finally,
both are already winners and top of badminton since both have reached the finals.

He he, Fu/Cai lost to JE/ML in 2004 OG (since ppl are comparing Susilo's win over LD in 2004). Although they're the oldest pair, the Denmark uncles will still be fresh in 1st round, so we never know.
But yes, MD has the most exiciting matches coming up.

..we're still awaiting his prognostication on who the winners will be...That's what many have been saying to your countryman Indra
