probably my favorite player of all time. too bad he has no stamina. haha. the new 21 system should favor him well.
I think XXZ might retire because of the following reasons, 1. Income is not attractive enough. 2. Getting older and slower. 3. Too hard to stay fitter than younger team mates. 4. Want more family time, newly married. 5. Not selected to play under country's financial support. We must remember that a professional badminton player when not receiving financial support from his/her country to play tournaments has to pay own travelling and other expenses. So let us increase their prize money, so that even if a player gets knocked out earlier in the tournaments, he/she still receive enough prize money to cover those expenses mentioned. This will also attract more players to be professionals.
Definately need more money in badminton! XXZ got a bronze medal at the olympics tho and apparently China pays big money for that. Also he is probably sponsored.
Why the prizes for badminton match are so low if compare with others sport. If not my mistake, the prizes for a tennis tournament could up to 1 million USD right?

Everytime I see LYB on TV or pictures, he always wear a cap. My curiousity, has anyone seen him not wearing a cap ?
Yes, he has been seen without a cap lol, it's rare but still. Search on google for li yongbo, you'll find a few pictures. It's odd he's wearing a cap to a wedding though.
