Li Mao to work as a coach for Kawasaki badminton equipment

http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2012-12-16/13566340492.shtml

As a coach for the "Kawasaki International Training Camp",

located in Malaysia at the New Vision Academy in section 13 Petaling Jaya

.http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2013/1/14/sports/12571958&sec=sports

The biggest joke in Li Mao's otherwise impeccable career was his adventure

in (of all places) Indonesia where he lasted only one year.It seems the local

veterans wanted him out because he could not produce Olympic winners

within one year. If coaches could produce champions within one year it

would be some kind of miracle in the same category as whatever was

achieved by some legend about 2000 years ago and Li Mao can name

his price,and he would not need to work for the rest of his life.As had

happened previously in Malaysia when they decided to look inwards

and the region for coaching talents,mobilsing local talents to coach is

taking a step backwards disregarding all the modern technology

developed in the sports in more progressive nations.That however

will be the future trend not only in badminton,but in all aspects of life

in the region.

Li Xue Rui- Action Photos 2012 GP Finals











    Li Xue Rui's exploits in Ladies Badminton bring back memories of the

   70s when Martina Navratilova  burst onto the Tennis scene. Or when

   Roger Federer arrived to replace Pete Sampras.All of them had some

   things in common,all are unique athletes with awesome strength and

   outstanding racket skills.

2012 BWF Super Series Finals-Match Fixing?

http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2012/12/15/sports/12463740&sec=sports


Everytime someone plays well and beats their opponents,the losers

are accused of match -fixing and avoiding their team mates.If I were

 the Danes or Cai/FuI would see it as an insult.Whiners like the

Star article are simply paranoid and unabashed losers and like to

bitch and  accuse for its own sake.Why bother to play 3 games in order

to lose?

Luckily pros like Pang have the integrity to confess that even if the

 accusations are true he would have done the same thing.

Again isn't it the same in all sports? Which pro would be "sporting "

enough to want to play  himself into injury or exhaustion when his goal

has been achieved, he  would need to have a very low IQ indeed, like

the whiners in question.

Just look at the match between Darren Liew and Vittinghus.

To those bitching fans with the small hearts and even smaller brains, get

 a life, and most of all get some quality  first world proper schooling

and education where rational thinking is part of the curriculum,instead

of the Bolehan brainwashing institutions you attended ,your intellect

and maturity  is showing through!

Why not suggest to the BWF to ask losing players to undergo a lie

 detector test to determine if they had tried their best efforts?

Whilst waiting for that,enjoy the game and dont get too emotionally

tangled! Boleh?
