SEA Games 2007 Day 4: Individual Event R16

[Loh]

Congrats to Kendrick. Could be his year today, but still has to come through Taufik and Boonsak.

Not an impossible task, and it has happened before at Singapore's home soil.

The "unthinkable" can happen, hopefully on Thai soil as it has happened to WMC even on China soil!

Most of my friends from National team told me he improves A LOT............I hope he can sustain till Final and perhaps the Gold. A boost for Singapore badminton.

Being the flag bearer sure does have some effects...

Congrats to Kendrick!

Yup, flag bearing does increase your muscle strength, probably exponentially since you have to lift the heavy pole against gravity.

No mean feat for the flag bearer to beat an in-form and fit World Championship runnerup, even LCW had to go to 3 games to beat Sony in HK.

.....I hope Tommy from BC London has a chance to watch that match and change his negative view of Kendrick, who has now beaten Indonesia's second best singles player in such an auspicious event as the SEA Games. Remember, Kendrick has also beaten Chen Jin not long ago in the Singapore Open this year.

The ever reliable Aerotus has uploaded the game in the video sharing thread, so you can watch & re-watch frame by frame. It also made me curious, dont even know what this Kenderick Lee looks like till I saw the photo.

Personally, I think it's not the 'good luck' of being the flag bearer as some BCer have said. Spore guys have to go thru 2 years of National Service, good for training muscles, mental strength...

It's not the "good luck" of being the flag bearer we are talking about. It's the responsibility that comes with being one. The flag bearer himself will want to strive to do better to prove himself worthy of the honour.

Besides, it wouldn't look good if the flag bearer returns home empty-handed...

Both BP and KL are flagbearers for their contingents so who's gonna win? KL's netplay is interesting; not fancy but simple and effective.
