hey guys and gals! just wana share my pics, i went on the 2nd day, morning session only... i only saw Raphael, the photographer... wanted to look for any fellow forum members, but i dont recognise any (sorry!)... anyway here are a few below... the 2nd pic, where KKK-TBH and Tony-Candra were looking up, it was because of a commotion that happened, the doors behind us were opened and they pointed it out... the crowd went berserk, and managed to get that shot... haha... i was sitting in the premium area, but occasionally drifted here and there to get the pics... BTW anyone going to the finals? hope to meet up with u guys and gals...
oh sawadeekap, where were u seated? in the green free seating is it? coz from the pics angle, it seemed like it... nice pics!
back to the sponsors in Indonesia more players that gifted. The funds that require very large. The Indonesian Government can not give money each branch of the construction of the sports, including badminton, last 3 years, the Woman single player and men single can't do. Woman single time since Susi Susanti, Ivana Lee and Mia Audina, Indonesia always win from China. Regeneration downloading a single very slow. the victorious Taufik Hidayat has expired, the climax of the Athens Olympic champion .. continue to decline combat capability, Sony Dwi Kuncoro can't grow produce a degree, because of injury always ..... Finally, in Indonesia left behind by Malaysia, LCW no 1..KKK/TBH become a very frightening for the players double Kido / Setiawan ... Sponsorship is necessary for the construction of juniors,
very sad to hear that... If there isnt any 100% sponsorship from government, then what happen in the next 10 years ? Very pity for country like Indonesia with a lot of talented world class palyer :-( Well ... hope they will find more sponsorship in the future. And badminton also more competitive
how can't INA gain sponsorship from international companies, INA is no small country, almost as large as USA. It is their #1 sport and with a long history, really surprised INA badminton is slipping in term of gov't and commercial support.
hey guys ! do u guys have WMC's pictures ?? please post it up IF u guys have it la ...and if possible , try to post up the pics where she was playing with tine ramussen , i really liked her outifit ! its a dress !! so nice ! please, thank you !
in INA...the government is more concerned about supporting soccer more than any sports... I live in Indonesia (but as u know..i always support CHN player ,cause I'm still chinese despite of I was being born in INA ) and in my city...the city council give a big fund for Persib (Bandung's most proud soccer team) and to build a soccer stadium...there isnt any left for badminton...it is the same with other city in Indonesia...all money for soccer! Even Thomas & Uber Cup 2008 still cannot draw a lot attention from public and media as AFC Asian Cup 2007 did in Jakarta...
agree! Indonesian Sponsor and Govern should give more attention to badminton. Badminton is the only sport in indonesia that could bring INDONESIA to the international forum. how to OPEN their eyes????
