Badminton 2017 Discussion Thread

Denmark open and world junior championship just ended. China is a total flop in both competition. What ever happened to this team after the olympics. Lin Dan is the God of badminton but he's definitely done playing shitty tournaments, why is there no youngsters to replace him. And why is Wang Shixian not playing anymore, she's very pretty she needs to play again. :wall:This thread is dead, why is no one posting. :pope:

Wang Shixian retired after missing out on Rio Olympics. 

 

Sadly Totallympics never had a good amount of Badminton fans who discuss things. 

 

I am really happy with the way Srikanth is playing this year. 3 Superseries Titles in a year :bowdown: Also, this is his 5th career SS title putting him on joint 4th behind legends LCW (45), Lin Dan (21) and Chen Long (17)

Shi Yuqi is a pretty decent replacement (though he hasn't been that good the second half of the year) and they have plenty of young women who are getting closer to the top.

But no doubt that China is looking weaker than they've been for a long time.

And about the totallympics badminton community. Sadly that's pretty much me and a handfull of Asians.

And Srikanth reaches his 5th SS final of the year. :bowdown:

After back to back wins in Indonesia and Australia in June, now Srikanth will be hoping to have back to back wins in Denmark and France in October. :fingers:

  • 3 weeks later...

Dutchman Erik Meijs, 76th in the world, was badly hurt in a car crash in Germany today. He's in the intensive care unit of a hospital and his condition is unknown yet.

    • France out , the first time in 20 years 
    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • If that draw seemed a surprise for us, what should we say about their last 2 matches, wins against City and Atletico Ok, with City is somehow understandable due tu low temperatures in Norway, but last night they won in Madrid against Atletico...unbelivable
    • First look at the ski jumping Olympic venue
    • I like the new format, goal here or there can change the full table standing. great night yesterday.

    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
