Lee Chong Wei ( 李宗伟 )

^ Agree.

It's called over compensation. Some people with naturally laid back nature need to psych up themselves to be aggressive in order to achieve a competitive performance mindset. Those stares at opponents are more likely for such a player to work himself up instead of intimidating the opponent.

I realise he only stares at opponent after winning a point when opponent is not facing him. Once the opponent looks at him, he will immediately look down (chickened out) n walk back. idw, maybe its the timing or he's scared to do it in their face. As if he is doing it for the sake of the audiences, to show the world "who's the boss?'
 
I agree with Renbo and Visor. In any sport, particularly men singles Badminton, if you lack the aggressiveness, you have already lost the attitude to attack, to win and to dominate the game. It doesn't matter who you play with, either they are stronger or weaker, as a professional player, you have gone through tons of brutal training hours. When you step onto the court, you have already set your mindset to play the best game you want to be ('zone'). Every player has their own style / characteristics of playing. If their action is deemed not appropriate by opponents, they will justify themselves by winning.

Carolina's behavior is the worst.

I'm actually quite curious to know if she only developed this shouting behaviour recently in the past few years as she advanced on the international stage. Was she like that in her teens during her national years? I'm thinking her coach Rivas may have encouraged her to be aggressive that way.

Nothing VA or Vittinghus have said is untrue. I would also add that LCW tries to make eye contact with his opponents after winning a point which is clearly an insult. Plus he disputes more line calls than anyone on the planet. Thankfully the hawk eye has put an end to those tantrums.
The Chinese in this sense are most professional and respectful I would say.

(VA said LCW tries to hit your body even if he can win points by hitting somewhere else. Vittinghus said LCW shows off and fools around when he has a lead, which is insulting for the opponent)

Are both of you talking about the same player? :D:D
 
^^ Perhaps you can point out the contradiction in the two -
"tries to make eye contact"
"Once the opponent looks at him, he will immediately look down (chickened out)"
 
All this talk about his stare:



1:33, charismatic as f**k, and the camera is in the right place and angle to capture that stare after he wins the point.

..... and LCW action will make his opponent felt insulted. Yeah right.

Just ask any sane thinking male, "If a stranger is staring at you and then when you look back at him he then look down and chicken out. How does you feel?" Any sane male will answer "I will feel good man, like I'm a Alpha dominant male."

LOL

Apparently, this happens after a rally that LCW has won. He turns away mostly, perhaps, because he will get a card for boorish behaviour if he doesnt.
Taking this all out of context and saying what a good thing such actions are is rather amusing.
Enjoy.

Still not worse than Carolina Marin. If LCW's action is considered "more humiliating" than Marin's crazy shout, you all should take some break from this.
 
Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han's loud shout also should be humiliating, but you see anyone complaining? No. Then you shouldn't too. Just an eyelook and you all feel "Oh no! He look in my eye! I feel violated and humiliated!"

Wow, an eye contact will caused LCW to get a card. Wow just Wow.
 
Was at a dinner party last night and we saw Chong Wei's reaction after winning the semifinal. We didn't think he needed to react that way. Maybe he is trying to develop a bad boy attitude. IMO, he's too old for that - it is something he should have shown ten years ago.

I didn't see anything wrong.
He's in the final of the All England after a tricky match and he just hold his arms up and celebrates for a second and then thoroughly thanks his opponent for the match.
This clearly still means a lot for him.

It was before that moment
 
Nah, it wasn't excessive at all. If you all remember, Lin Dan did it exactly the same way after winning a hard point from Tian Houwei. He was shouting and doing machine gun pose. No one complained.
 
But when LCW doing it, you all be like "he shouldn't do it. It was horrible." Lin Dan did it and he got praised for it. Sameway LD throws racquet and everyone was like it was the best thing since sliced bread.
