In reply to Kaka's request

Posted by league of badminton masters in on Saturday, July 25, 2009

Maybe I'm a bit one-sided for posting the likes of Reiko Shiota and Wang Lin, the beauties in the pro badminton world (see Crush post). Well, I did a little research to satisfy the other sex.


If Kaka watches tennis because of the "cute gorgeous guys," then maybe ... just maybe below would be reason enough to also watch badminton matches.

Baddy and Tennis goes head to head in jumpsmashbadminton

Posted by league of badminton masters in on Thursday, July 23, 2009

The long-standing debate about badminton versus tennis never ends.

It'll be a never-ending discussion so I opted not to state my opinion as this blog represents the League of Badminton Masters players generally and not me.

But for the LBM players who are also tennis fans, there's an article recently posted in http://jumpsmashbadminton.blogspot.com/2009/07/badminton-v-tennis.html. Batman, May, Aries, etc., I know you guys are die-hard tennis fans, so I am guessing that you'd be interested in hearing out a blogger's opinion.


The article is a good read, but let's put a disclaimer: All the data written on the linked blog above do not represent our site. The articles written there are of the author's opinion and were not inluenced by any of the members of this blog. Hehehehe. There you go.

Don't you feel lucky enough ...

... to be able to play baddy with 2 strong legs?

What's stopping you from doing good footwork?
What's stopping you from getting to the birdie?
If these guys pull twice the effort, why can't you?

Don't just stand there. Enjoy badminton with your full potential.
Others try harder and make the most of what they could.

PO 2009 Quarterfinals (feat. Trikus/Minarti)

Posted by league of badminton masters in , , , on Friday, July 3, 2009

Congratulations to the following Pinoys for making it to the quarterfinals:

WS - Malvinne Ann Venice Alcala
MD - Kelving Panganiban/Gabriel Villanueva
XD - Trikus Harjanto (IND)/Minarti Timur (PHI)






Alcala and Panganiban/Villanueve advanced to the quarters by beating other Filipinos. The rest of the Pinoys lost to other countries, except for the Indonesia-Philippine tandem Trikus/Minarti.



Minarti wasn't really born a Filipina. She used to represent Indonesia but migrated hear to coach and run a badminton club business. She's now 41 years old, with Trikus 35 years old, just a few years shy. They're the oldest pair in the tournament.

During their days, they were piled among the best mixed doubles pairs, winning several titles including the Thailand (1994), Indonesia (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001), Singapore (1995, 1998), Malaysia (1996, 1998, 2000), and Chinese Taipei (2002) Opens; the Badminton World Cup (1995); the World Badminton Grand Prix (1995); the Southeast Asian Games (1995); and the Badminton Asia Championships (1996).

It seems like they haven't lost their "mojo". c",)

Philippine Open 2009 Day 3 (partial update)

Posted by league of badminton masters on Thursday, July 2, 2009

As of 7:47 pm, It looks like the chances of pinoy shuttlers to be this tournament's champion are getting slimmer.
Our hopes of winning lies among the following remaining pinoy players:
MD
Jobet Co/Antonio Gadi
Kelvin Panganiban/Gab Villanueva
Andrei Babal/Peter Gabriel Magnaye
Emman Garcia/Mark Natividad
Arolas Amahit/Ian Piencenaves
WS
Malvine Alcala
The Asuncion sibling lost to Zihan Qiu/Yuting Deng 19-21, 21-8, 21-16.
The rest of the Filipinos prevailed during Day 3 because they were against other pinoys. Those who competed against other nationalities (especially China, Indonesia, and Malaysia) got wiped out BAD!!!
Let's still hope for a miracle.
