i disagree. In Yang Yang's time, there was Morten Frost, Han Jian, Zhao Jian Hua etc etc... now, there is only players like Taufik, who is erratic, LCW, who is equally erratic, Peter Gade, going old. YY's time was definitely more competitive. YY is more consistant than LD. To win 2 WC in the space of 3 years is more consistant that winning it in the space of 2 years.
The comentator is trying to get people to cheer.... for what ?! the crowd don't know who to cheer for !....lol...
Looks like there are only 2 of us who like WD ........so quiet here..... YW/ZJW ....11-13........, great inteception by ZJW 12-13.......
Well in Yang Yang's time there are just those few handful players who are good/great, but now in Lindan's time there are many players who can beat each other. Just look at those lowly/not so heard of players like Anup, Nguyen Tien Minh, Boonsak, Susilo, Park Sung Hwan etc...they can beat the top players too. This shows that the standard of badminton nowadays is really close among players. and for Lindan to dominate in an era like today is GREATNESS!!! Well done!!
i disagree. in Yang Yang' time, old rule is applied in WC, while we use new rule now. it means upsets are easier to be made. that's why we saw so many underdogs in quarter final. i agree in yang yang's time, there were Morten Frost, THan Jian, Zjh ... they are equally good. but now, no player is at LD's level (except on form TH). LD is superb and so LD's time was less competitve. if there were no LD in this world, there must be more competive and more agreat players now.
ZJW/GL 14-16.......15-16...... Lots of badminton tidbits/comments from G.Clarke....makes the game interesting.......
You can't really compared Yang Yang and Lin Dan... Different eras... It's just like comparing Tiger Woods and Jack Nicholas in Golf... Player's physical condition are different, equipments are different etc.. Players now days are probably better than before IMO....
LD was winning tornuments on the old scoring system anyway because he was always alot fitter then most. It's more competitive now because of the scoring system punishes you for unforced errors and mistakes. So, it's definitely harder to win 2 WC in a row now cause you have to be more consistent !!
amazing match so far. i haven't seen a WD match for a while of this quality. thanks BWF for their mistake in putting YW/ZJW back together.
