Malaysia..........Boleh?

Its the final of the IBF World Badminton Championships, the fans were esthatic, cheering and jubilating.

But the thing is, the players in court are Indonesia's dark horse Sony Kyuncoro and China's badminton hotshot Lin Dan.

MANA MALAYSIA?

i think Malaysians have alway asked this question since the championships were formed so many years ago. No Malaysian has won the championships. =S

What's wrong with Malaysian badminton? Over the past few years Malaysia has been really disappointing in the tournaments, everytime ending up with nothing after bigger-than-life anticipations during their preparations.

My dad quoted : Malaysia talked big all the time.

Sounds insulting, but its so true.

4 Semi-finalists in the tournament was the hope. Not even one made it.

National number 1 shuttler Lee Chong Wei was the biggest casualty, with himself being painfully taught a lesson by Sony.

Malaysia's disappointment

21-9, 21-10 was the score. Shock shock and jussst shocking. Shortly after the defeat he blamed the coach for pressuring him. What the heck?!?!

So often the doubles and women have defied the odds to be better than the men's singles. At least they give a fight until the end.

Mew Choo in action.

Women's doubles are not bad too.

It was even extraordinary for our men's doubles. Wan Wah and Tan Fook beat China's top pair Fuhaifeng and Caiyun, but the top pair, Boon Heong and Kean Keat failed to beat an unseeded Japanese pair in the quarters! Well, heartbroken it may be, 25-23 in the tie-breaker, at least they gave a fight until the end. Blame it on the lack of offensive play by them.

Dejected Tan Fook and Wan Wah after the semi-finals.

No medals again at the championships. Next time. Perhaps. lol.
