Taufik: World meet losing prestige

Actually WC should be held every 2 years. That will definately make the tournament a look foward tournament for every players. Now WC is called WC but it is like a normal regular SS finals.

I think several other sports are having annual world meets, e.g., squash, tennis (team cups), gymnastics (skipping OG years?). Perhaps we just need to get used to the idea for badminton's case.
 
next we're gonna have thomas cup every year =.="
I fink its not possible for the moment.. SS attract more players due to the prize money.
If it is so.. Many players will skip this TC to concentrate on SS instead. TC is only for the honour of their country. Where else u can keep the money in ur own pocket for the $$ u win in SS :D:D

It varies from country to country. When MAS regained TC in 1992 (?), each of the players and coaches received a free house and a free car, among others, if I'm not wrong.
 
No WC contest in 2008, coz it can't be the 2 biggest contests held in the same year.
If the WC is held bi-ennially (once every two years), it will never clash with olympic. Since the WC is changed to an annual event, it won't be held on olympic year and everyone knows it.

If your intention is to attract attention here, let me tell u this, u have acheived it to certain extent. Unless u misunderstood my previous post, otherwise PLEASE stop giving facts that everyone has already known.

I'm just curious, how old are you?

IMO, bi-annual WC is definitely more acceptable & prestigious than annual WC.

If WC is held every two years, than LD & CY/FHF wouldn't have won it.:D So, TH & Tony Gunawan/Howard Bach are still the defending champions.:cool: That's why TH :o...

Not only LD, but also TH, ZJH, Joko, and the others.
Basically, WC is held every 3 years.

1977 Flemming Delfs
1980 Rudi Hartono
1983 Icuk
1985 Han Jian
1987 Yang Yang
1989 Yang Yang

1993 Joko
1995 Heryanto Arbi
1997 Peter Rasmussen
1999 Sun Jun
2001 Hendrawan
2003 Xia Xuanze
2005 Taufik
2006 Lin Dan

Bad news : 1 title only for China:crying:
Good news : Taufik never won it:D:D:D

So, we will never heard every one is saying : Taufik Hidayat, an Olympic champion and World champion :D:D:D:D:D

Torres, kamu masih belum ngerti aku!
Apa yang aku bilang adalah: Kalo WC masih diadakan 2 tahun sekali, WC 2006 takkan diadakan, maka LD & CY/FHF takkan menang. Jadi, TH & Tony/Bach masih juara bertahan. Ngerti?

Ya udah, capek ngomong sama lu!
 
Hi Robin7,

You are wrong. Since 2006, WC will be held every 1 year.
WC 2006 champion for MD is CY/FHF and MS Champion is LD.

So TH & Tony/Bach not the depending champion.

Note: Maybe you just born in 2007 so you don't know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kamu salah. Sejak 2006, WC sudah diadakan setiap 1 tahun sekali. Bukan 2 tahun sekali.

Juara WC2006 untuk Man Double adalah CY/FHF
Juara WC2006 untuk Man Single adalah Lin Dan

Note: Kayaknya kamu baru dilahirkan tahun 2007, sehingga kamu tidak tahu.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Torres, kamu masih belum ngerti aku!

Hi Torres,
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taufik Hidayat is one of the badminton champion got titles for 3 importants International Tournament:
- 2004 Asian Games Man Single Champion
- 2006 Asian Games Man Single Champion
- 2004 Olimpic Games Man Single Champion
- 2005 World Championship Man Single Champion

Taufik Hidayat target to win the all england so he will get the completed champion later on.

You can go to IBF Website and download the Taufik Hidayat profil.

You can also download the others player profil from the IBF Website.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lindan: All England Champion 3 times and WC2006 Champion but he don't have the Asian Games and Olimpic titles.

So: Lin Dan target win both Olimpic and Asian Games.

So Taufik target win the all england.

So this two players will be the legend badminton player on the world, I think so.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI: In China and Malaysia, The coaches and Head Coach there (China and Malaysia) put Taufik Hidayat name to the list of the dangrerous players.

You can see from Misbun Sidek said same things... because Taufik Hidayat is completed players..All shot very good..backhand smash, netting and jump smash very fantastic.

You can see from Zoa Jian Hua comments: That Taufik Hidayat is completed player especially for his netting and his backhand smash. and his
defence
also good, ZJH Added.


Not only LD, but also TH, ZJH, Joko, and the others.

Yes. I gree with taufik and you also..

Since 2006, WC will be held every 1 year. is not good again said taufik..

2 years is better more competative. Also Olimpic every 4 years is good.

So that's way....not a lots players interested to join and take the WC anymore..

I agree with TH that WC should held every two years. We have seen the even more competitive line-up featured in the previous China Open. With the absent of BP, CH and LHI in this WC, it is hardly convincing that the WC would be more exciting than other major opens. Therefore, WC should held every 2 years to maintain its prestige.

WC should be held every 4 years ...before of after Olympic

For example:

Olympic 2008
WC 2010
Olympic 2012
WC 2014
and so on
 
I think the "prestige" of any tournament is determined by the quality of the players taking part in it. This forthcoming WC in KL is prestigious because only those of the top quality in the world are eligible to play, with the exception of some leeway given to the host country to field wild cards.

Remember, some SS opens were not graced by some top players and certain countries did not send their top representatives. But most of the world's high ranking players would not want to give the WC a miss and some very good players like Malaysia's Wong Choong Hann, did their best to qualify but alas they still did not manage to. Chen Hong, now a China independent, on the other hand, while in the top ranked group, was not given a chance because of politics.

I agree that each year we should determine who is the World Champion, irrespective of how many SS tournaments players take part in during the year. The WC is the most important tournament, apart from the 4-yearly Olympics, for a top player to prove to the world.

When a badminton WC can be organized annually we should have it. Unlike the Olympics or other regional Games like Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Southeast Asia Games, where lots of effort, time and money need to be expended to cater to so many games and countries, organizers will need more than a year to ensure success. That's one reason why they are not held annually.

An annual WC for badminton gives a professional player something to look forward to, to make the necessary preparations to peak at the right time and to settle once and for all who is the best player. Losers will have no excuses to make. Remember too that anything can happen within the year that may deprive the player from making an impact, just like Choong Hann and Chen Hong. So why wait so long for a WC instead of giving every player a chance each year?

It also gives us badminton fans a great time to meet, enjoy our fellowship and meals together, watch over TV for others and enjoy the exciting proceedings. It is fantastic entertainment!

The proof? Just look up the list of BC members who have signed up for the occasion. And there are many who prefer not to publicize their names and intentions but they will be there just the same!

SEE YOU IN KL!

@Torress..

ngawur lagi ini orang.. :p

AG is for Asian..bro

you must ask LYB why he didn't field up Chen hong or chen jin,
becos AG/Olympic only permit 2 player/country

and LYB picked Lindan Bao Chun lai

if you play in AG/olympic, you represent your country officially and if you win, there will be a flag rising ceremony with national antheme song. that's is THE PRESTIGE, a prestige is not money thing, it is about Honour and glory..

If WC is not supposed to be held in 2006, how LD & CY/FHF won it?:D

And if WC is not held in 2006, so aren't TH & Tony/Bach the defending champions?:D

FYI, 2006 is the first WC after they changed it to annual event. Otherwise the following WC is supposed to be in 2007 followed by 2009 and so on.

Think before u guys post! I'm just wondering who are the one born in 2007!:D

Sungguh memalukan!:D Some more call yourself "badminto_expert"!:confused:
