ASIAN GAMES MEN SINGLE Preview - Counting On LEE - LIN Final



With world no. 1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia and no. 3 Lin Dan of China in different halves of the draw, legions of fans are hoping to see these two giants fight for the gold medal at the individual men’s singles final in Guangzhou, while the rest of the field guns for upsets.

The Famous Ones
Should the mighty Lee Chong Wei (pictured) meet Lin Dan in the final, it will be their head-to-head 22nd encounter, with Lin Dan having won 14 times compared to Lee’s 7 wins.  Lin Dan will be looking forward for revenge after having lost to Lee in their latest encounter about a month ago at the Super Series Japan Open.  Lin Dan will also not forget he has an old score to settle with Taufik, who beat the then-world #1 and newly crowned World Champion at the previous Asian Games in Doha.  Furthermore, Lin, who has already tasted golden successes since Doha at the Olympics and at two more World Championships, will want to add this elusive Asian Games gold medal to his collection.
The men’s singles event should be an exciting and action-packed one, as 4 of the world top 5 players, of them will be competing at Asian Games the other two being Chen Jin of China (No. 4), Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia (No. 5).  In the top half of the draw, probably Chen Jin has the best chance of preventing a Lee-Lin final, should he meet Lee in the semi-final.  However, it could be an uphill task for Chen, as he doesn’t seem to do well against Lee, having won only twice in their 9 encounters.
Chen will also be the first contender to take on Lee Hyun Il, who has retired twice since Doha, when he beat both Chong Wei and Lin Dan in the team competition before settling for bronze in the individual.
Another player who could show Lee Chong Wei the exit as early as the quarter-final is world no. 10 Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand, if only he can cause an upset.  Lee had favourably beaten Boonsak 10 times and lost only twice to him.
As for the bottom half of the draw, it promises to be just as tough a battle, though Lin Dan (pictured) is the clear favourite.  Although Taufik stands in Lin Dan’s way for the semi-final stage, Lin hasn’t lost even a game to the Indonesian in the four years since the Doha final.
According to CBA’s website, Lin Dan told a reporter at their training session in preparation for Asia Games, that he longer wants to mention or comment on names of which opponent he wants to meet in the individual event.   Only after the men’s team event will he think about the individual matches, which will likely begin for Lin against Hong Kong’s Hu Yun (pictured below).
Also in the bottom half of the draw, Malaysia’s Hafiz Hashim has in his quarter defending champion Taufik Hidayat, South Korean Park Sung Hwan and Japan’s Kenichi Tago to deal with.
“I may meet Park or Tago in the second round.  My aim is to try to win at least a bronze and it will be very tough indeed,” Hafiz was quoted in the BAM’s website.
The Unknown Ones
Besides the who’s-who list of seeded players, fans at Guangzhou will also get to witness those rather unknown ones in main draw action.  It is mainly at these big events like the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and now the Asian Games that the players from Nepal, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Iraq and Maldives are not relegated to qualifying rounds or team withdrawals and really get to try their hand on the big stage with the world’s best.
It will be interesting to see how they attain some respectable scores as they pit their skills against their stronger opponents. One of such players to watch will be Niluka Karunaratne (pictured) of Sri Lanka, who will be playing in the first round against northern neighbour Chetan Anand of India, whom Niluka pushed to three games earlier this year.
Nepal’s Sajan Krishna Tamrakar, who snatched the men’s singles title at the Nepal Police 2nd National Open Badminton Championship in Kathmandu last month, will not have it easy in his opening match against Lee Hyun Il of South Korea. Other unknown ones also include Enkhbat Olonbayar of Mongolia, Bikash Shrestha of Nepal, Dinuka Karunaratna of Sri Lanka, Sharim Sharim and Ajfaan Ajfaan (very interesting names) of Maldives and Yara Azad Abdulhamid of Iraq.  They would have to play extremely well to create any shocking results at the Asian Games but hopefully some deserving should can work hard to stir up some happening news even if the Games are destined to end in a coronation for Lin or Lee.

Kien Keat nets a hat-trick of golds as Malaysia win in three finals

KOO Kien Keat turned up a super-charged performance to earn a historic breakthrough for Malaysia in Commonwealth Games badminton at the Siri Fort Sports Complex yesterday.
Kien Keat hit the jackpot in his maiden mixed doubles partnership with Chin Eei Hui and they nailed the only gold medal to elude by beating top seeds Nathan Robertson-Jenny Wallwork of England 22-20, 21-12 in 36 minutes.
Kien Keat returned to the court barely two hours later to bag the men’s doubles gold medal. Partnering Tan Boon Heong, they beat Robertson-Anthony Clark 21-19, 21-14.
The unseeded Kien Keat-Eei Hui had taken a comfortable 19-14 lead in the first game but allowed Robertson-Wallwork to grab six consecutive points.
Kien Keat covered well for the error-prone Eei Hui and he single-handedly won the next three points to take the tight first game.
There was some early resistance from Robertson-Wallwork in the second game but they were resigned to taking silver after Kien Keat-Eei Hui collected nine straight points to lead 17-8.
There were no display of emotional joy, knowing the gold was already in the bag, even after Robertson sent the shuttle wide at the baseline, to hand the match and the gold to Kien Keat-Eei Hui.
However, Kien Keat was aware of the significance of the mixed doubles triumph.
“The schedule has been taxing but we were only one match from the gold and I was all pumped up today,” he said.
“We were very tensed in the opening minutes and we conceded easy points.
“They were keeping me away from the net as it was our strong point.
“But we were patient and I am glad that it paid off.”
The three gold medals won by Kien Keat in Delhi, the other from the mixed team competition, made him the most successful Malaysian athlete at the 19th Commonwealth Games.
Eei Hui will be delighted to improve on the silver medal she earned in her outing in the mixed doubles at the 2002 Manchester Games with Chew Choon Eng, which was until yesterday the best Malaysia effort in the event.
Doubles coach Rexy Mainaky said they knew that the key to success for Kien Keat-Eei Hui was to pile on the pressure on Wallwork.
“She gets tense under attack and with her making mistakes, Robertson’s concentration was affected. It worked in our favour today,” he said.
Wallwork praised Kien Keat for his performance.
“We could not keep up with the pace. Koo is a fantastic player. He is very strong and creative.
He played the best I’ve seen him play,” she said.

Sukan Komanwel 2010

pejam celik, pejam celik..Sukan Komanwel hampir melabuhkan tirai..Haleluya!!!Malaysia dapat 12 pingat emas..emas tbanyak pernah Malaysia dapat semenjak menyertai sukan ini...

emas terakhir yang Malaysia dapat ialah melalui pasang beregu emas negara iaitu Koo Kien Kiat(KKK) n Tan Boon Heong(TBH)..pada 1st game permainan KKK n TBH amat tidak kemas..tp pada set kedua, KKK n TBH mula mnunjukkan aksi sebenar walaupon agak x konsisten..hehe..xpa2, yg penting Malaysia menang n KKK  n TBH tetap cun..hehe

emas kesebelas kita, kita dapat dari Lee Chong Wei(LCW)..x khuatir sangat la coz lawan LCW x mggentarkan sangat..tp x boleh juga pndg rendah juga kan...atlit terakhir Malaysia yg turun padang ialah buah hati LCW sendiri iaitu Wong Mew Choo(WMC)..dgn harapan dapat pingat yg ke tiga belas, tapi hajat x kesampaian..apa2 pon, semangat juang WMC wajar dipuji..MALAYSIA BOLEH...

memang tidak dinafikan, pencapaian Lin Dan Lebih hebat Dari LCW..yang mbezakan beliau dengan LCW ialah, LD ne angkuh sangat..tapi bila difikir-fikir balik, angkuh dia btempat juga..saya suka jumping smash LD..'unbeatable' la pendek kata..

mereka berdua ne memang mninggalakan kesan yang mdalam la pada diri saya..u ol plulak tentu ada personal favourite sendiri kan..

My 1st Post

INDESCRIBABLE
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
