Which means that one of  Heo/  Cordón/  Caljouw will be in the semis.

Forgot about earlier and way more enjoyable (at least for me) upset by Cordon advancing to knock out rounds

And now Kantaphon loses to Toby Penty 

[Dolby 754]

4 seeds out in group stages. 3 more needing 3 sets. It seems Men’s badminton has joined WTA.

Gideon and Sukamuljo is out, now our biggest gold medal hope is Ahsan/Setiawan

Chinese badminton team is extremely low key before the games and in the group stage. Almost no fans care about them but now we want a dream back to London. 5 Golds go go go.

Very excited for huge opportunity for him

You mean, there is no interest in China, right? 

 

I am not surprised there are no big expectations, given that China haven't dominated badminton for some years now, like they do in table tennis, or weightlifting for example. The competition is much tougher now. I don't think you would get 5 golds. Womens singles is almost certainly a miss for me and the mens singles are also tricky. The Danes have looked very good. 3 doubles golds look the most probable.

With a chance at reaching the semis. On paper isn't that much better than or that Cordon already defeated. Of course, Heo did come off a win against the number 1 ranked athlete plus he'll have more rest.

And the Indonesians are in full support to him, since they found out his coach is Indonesian.. which is unfortunately named Muammar Qadafi
