Let's conclude: China will take ALL the medals in the singles categories at OG 2012

I think Sung is someone who can create upset too. She nearly did it in Uber Cup. Koreans sometimes surprise everyone in Olympic because they get big lifetime rewards too when they won gold

 

interesting topic with interesting reality too recently. 2 months ago, CHN MS and WS team might be dominant. but recently, at IO SSP 2012, we can see how other players beat them, WS or MS. so, saying that CHN MS and WS are sure to grab medals is full of uncertainty now.

 

In fact lcw will be placed at Group A of Top Half, LD will be placed at Group P of Bottom Half
And CL will be placed at Group E of Top Half,CJ will be placed at Group L of Bottom Half


lcw and cl are in the same half of the draw.ld and cj also

Because
a) Seed No. 1 placed at the top of Group A
b) Seed No. 2 placed at the top of Group P
so lcw will be placed at Group A ,ld will be placed at Group P


4.1. Entries from any one NOC shall be drawn as follows:

4.1.1. the first and second ranked entries by lot in opposite halves of the draw
so LD and CL will be in opposite halves of the draw
so .................

Yes, based on paper and realistically, CHINA is surely the strongest contender for the singles title in OG2012...However, anything can happen though. Just look at LCW for example in the thomas cup 2012, nobody expected that those kind of injury can happened to him. And for example chen long in 2nd round of INA open, nobody expected him to lost to kasyap in straight games and not his normal self that day. Therefore we can conclude that although badminton(football) is triangle (round), but anything can happen

 

Interesting, if they told Phelps to stay out of the previous (and this?) olympics, then there might be 8 new champions (or more?). hehe

sorry for OOT.
