Badminton Finals Japan Super Series 2010 Pictures!

The Victory and The Defeat!!

What an afternoon in Japan! Most Malaysians if they were watching the finals today would have predicted that our players would be swept right out by China players. That included me as well, Lin Dan versus Lee Chong Wei... the chances of LCW winning is practically 30/70... (ain't i pessimistic?) I thought Lee Chong Wei would be the underdog as usual.. WAS I WRONG!

Gosh... LCW played such a spectacular game today... like never say DIE.... or did Lin Dan made a lot of mistakes? First set LCW won by a close margin 22-20.... 2nd set, he lost 16-21 and during the 3rd set, it was a "finger biting" excitement.. almost point to point win until the last 4 points.. LEE CHONG WEI won 21-17..... waaahhhh... i clapped like mad in the room, silly me!!!

In the midst of the prize giving, I took some pictures of them... hehehee....


Lin Dan... charming man!

Congratulations to Lee Chong Wei...

hahaha..he looked cute here..
just look at his muscles.. gosh!!

admiring his Golden Plaque

waving to his fans....

who is more handsome? hehehe...

the World Champions in Badminton...

and... NOW FOR THE MEN'S DOUBLES....
they won the first game... I thought eh... maybe they could be champions too.. but during 2nd and 3rd game, they were headed down drastically by the China players... either they have no more strategies or their opposing players had Plan B, C or D...

they were doing so good during the 1st game..

the forlorn looks of Tan Boon Heong

Koo Kien Keat...what went wrong with his strokes?

never mind la.. 2nd place also got prize money!

Till we meet again... congratulations to
China and Malaysia!!

These are great T.V. shots! I love badminton, and we have a little plastic set to play with the girls. You really captured the poor forlorn look of the loser!

I used to like watching badmintan games when I was young,but now I just don't have the free time to sit down and relax watching the games with my son around.

Tekkaus said...

Congrates to chong wei. :)

Angeline@安琪琳 said...

Yes, LCW wong the game! U also a badminton fans ya?

Ming Na said...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sorry, Claire. But that's exactly how I feel.

Daniel Chiam said...

Lin Dan and LCW feud has been going on for so long that at a point of most time I trust Lin Dan will always effortlessly defeat LCW in every MAJOR event. Statistically, Lin Dan is still way ahead of LCW. Like it or not, I do think badminton is like a show biz, you need to keep something entertaining going on or else people wont watch your show anymore. haha

I always feel these competitions are rigged - one time, can play so terribly...and next time, can win! Must be those bookies at work...and the victims - all the unsuspecting punters. Like in the World Cup football.

mumsgather said...

Too bad I missed the game. Sound so nail biting. Good for LCW to win Lin Dan who seemed a class above him.

claire said...

mery: another few years, u will be more free then! :)



tekkaus: yes..not easy to beat Lin Dan!!


angeline: u too?? me yes!!


mingna: u also badminton fan-see ah? hahaha...


daniel: if all china players, then no fun watching... now only malaysians can compete with them!


stp: no la.. hard to fix on badminton.. unless own opponent is also same country.. but then i think individually, they want to win cos got prize money.. people wont bet on badminton so much as in football.. hahaha..


momsgather: that was what i thought too.. Lin Dan sure win one.. but was surprised that Lee this time got the strategy.. not nervous at all.. hahaha...

Hayley said...

Woohoo! Hope Datuk LCW maintains this kinda spirit whenever he's in the match la! ;)

Angeline@安琪琳 said...

Yes I am...not tat crazy...

eugene said...

I prefer Lin Dan to LCW, and sure a no no for me as far as KKK and TBH is concerned,,

i prefer Rafael Nadal lah,,,

reanaclaire said...

hayley: yes, i thought he was going to lose during 3rd set..


angeline: as for me, when malaysians are playing, i will watch with craze..


eugene: me still go for malaysia!

LittleLamb said...

i think politics is involved... the player win this time, next round he loses and the next, he wins again... macam can predict wor.

Medie007 said...

reanaclaire said...

rachel: hahaha.. like that also can?


medie: yeah.. i thought sure gone for good! my specs fell..

iamthewitch said...

minchow said...

This was the ONLY time that I wish I hadn't cancelled my Astro subscription!! Oh to have seen Lin Dan's face after losing!!

reanaclaire said...

minchow, i thought of canceling too.. once a month watch this badminton open.. pretty expensive.

MODERN ROBINSON CRUSOE said...

Btw Lin dan definitely more handsome & macho (guy's perspective) but LCW not bad either - He can always turn the tide on Lin dan provided he dont have that mentality that he's inferior to Lin dan (pyshcology aspect) :-D me think

reanaclaire said...

mrc, wonder whether lcw can keep it up consistently.. lets see the commonwealth games next week..

Irene said...

KAYA RAYA la dato lee!

CH Voon said...

reanaclaire said...

irene: i agree with u la!
