I predict Kunlavut winning the title by beating VA in the final. The Thai is playing very well and the most impressive.
Yeah it’s not easy at all. LEE Zii Jia is in-form and very focused. And it seems like Lakshya SEN and Viktor AXELSEN are determined to go all the way as well.
That was Wang Lin. She is now the head coach of ZJ province team where ZSW/HYQ are from. This gold is an important victory for her as well.
Eventually someone from Malaysia has to win Olympic Badminton Gold. Its only right that it would come from Men Single where they have reached Final 3 consecutive times. Just visited Kuching last month, my support will be for LZJ (also now that Shi is out). There is LiNing badminton store that is going to open at Vivacity Megamall with his face as the main header. L Lifelong of fame and riches await him.
Amazing win by Kunlavut. Thought he might grind it out in 3 but he demolished China #1 with performance of the day. SYQ mental weakness rose up again. Tunjung and Lakshya saving some honour for home countries being the last representatives. Can't wait for ASY v AY. Effectively it's the gold medal match imo. Tunjung and Marin should go through, but wil HBJ v CYF be played freely or will they want CYF to face Marin? CYF has better h2h and is reigning champion. I think it should have been scheduled before Marin v Ohori. WD Bronze should be fun too.
Hope Kunlavut wins the Olympics gold. He’s definitely the best of the next gen, so damn good when not injured. i believe he has what it takes to take down Axelsen in the finals.
...because he didn't have to cover for hiroyuki endo, who is/was one the the greatest md defenders of all time. in every xd pair the male player is doing more than 50% of the work. it's the nature of the xd game.
they were on a mission. i got a 'refuse to lose' vibe from them... in the zone... impressively dominant.
She could have retired and married someone rich. But she chose to be a badminton coach at the provincial level. She should have be elected into BWF Hall of Fame. At the very least, she should be promoted to be a coach at the National level.
I created the thread for 3 August 2024. Please continue our discussions there. https://www.badmintoncentral.com/fo...lympics-knock-out-stage-3-august-2024.191983/
Does anyone know what did the coach n shi yuqi discuss during all intervals? Vskunlavut… Seems syq n xxz had some exchanges of ideas…
