Badminton Session

Just want to share a few pics during my weekly badminton session in Kelana Jaya with my colleagues. I try to play once a week for my fitness and to release tension. I found out that this session is an enjoyable time for me once a week to release sweat and shouting and smashing my friends.

Our weekly session started on 7pm to 9pm normally on Thursday depend on court availability. We booked two courts from MBPJ for the whole month and since working in Kelana Jaya, we normally played in Dewan MBPJ SS7/28 near Giant Kelana Jaya.

BEIJING - Malaysia's hope to grab historic first Olympic gold medal was continued with national first pair, Koo Kien Keat - Tan Boon Heong ease through to quarter final. However, seasoned pair Choong Tan Fook - Lee Wan Wah was defeated by Korean pair Hwang Ji Man-Lee Jae Jin, 22-20, 13-21, 16-21.

Kien Keat - Boon Heong easily defeated Japan pair Shintaro Ikeda - Shuichi Sakamoto 21 - 12, 21 - 16 and this victory was a sweet revenge for them as the Japanase pair
defeated them in the last two tournament.

Kien Keat and Boon Heong displayed a good partnership and with a lot attacking and court-control which make the Japan stumble easily in the first set. On the second set, they keep on pressuring the Japan with rally play and finished off the game with 21 - 16.

Their next opponent in quarter final will be world no. 1 pair and World Champion Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan after the Indonesian pair defeated their Chinese opponent Guo Zhendong-Xie Zhongbo 22-20, 10-21, 21-17.

However, our national pair have a better statistical record because they already won the last 4 games with the Indonesian.

In another single match, Wong Choon Hann unable to get through to next round after failed to defeat Taiwanese shuttler Hsieh Yu-Hsing 21-14, 17-21,18-21. I'm quite dissapointed because Wong Choong Hann already defeated defending champion Taufik Hidayat prior to this match. Maybe his age and stamina has taken toll and exhausted Choon Hann unable to get through.

Malaysia's hope for gold medal now will be carried by Tan Boon Heong - Koo Kien Keat and Lee Chong Wei.

I will update the news from time to time.
