0 Farewell To You, Jung Jae-sung

LEE YONG-DAE/JUNG JAE-SUNG DALAM OLIMPIADE LONDON 2012 (london2012.com)

Menyusul perpisahan ganda putra Indonesia, Mohammad Ahsan/Bona Septano, peraih medali perunggu ganda putra bulutangkis Olimpiade London 2012, Lee Yong-dae/Jung Jae-sung, mengumumkan perpisahan setelah tujuh tahun bersama dan menjadi salah satu ikon ganda putra bulutangkis dunia.

Sebuah akhir yang gemilang bagi LYD/JJS mengingat saat ini mereka menjadi ganda terkuat dunia dalam ranking BWF. Meskipun target medali emas Olimpiade kandas oleh duet asal Denmark, Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen, dan harus puas pulang dengan medali perunggu, akan tetapi kegagalan di London 2012 tersebut pastinya tidak akan "mengganggu" reputasi dan kegemilangan duo hebat Korea ini.

"Kami telah bertanding dalam banyak kejuaraan dan banyak tekanan yang menghampiri, terlebih menjelang Olimpiade, namun Lee tidak pernah mengeluh terhadap keadaan. Saya sangat berterima kasih atas kebersamaan selama bertahun-tahun ini," kata Jung Jae-sung dalam wawancara dengan Korea Herald (8/09), yang sekaligus mengakhiri kariernya sebagai pebulutangkis pada usia 30 tahun. Sementara itu Lee Yong-dae, yang empat tahun lebih mudah masih akan melanjutkan karirnya.

Farewell to you, Champ!

LI XUERUI
Born: Chongqing, 24 January 1991

Li Xuerui is currently (week 10/2012) No.5 of women's singles division at the BWF World Ranking, and ranked 6th at the BWF Superseries. The victory she gained today at the NIA must be very special, not only the first All England title for her, but also cracking the great wall of Wang Yihan, the one she has given nothing but nightmare in 4 meetings, updating the head-to-head stand to 1-4. Li is now surely on the course of the 2012 Olympic Games qualifiers with her consistent display. The success at the 2012 All England followed her wonderful performance at the German Open Grand Prix Gold.

LILIYANA NATSIR/TONTOWI AHMAD
Born: Manado/Banyumas, 9 September 1985/18 July 1987

The delight must be overloaded due to the more than three decades of Indonesian drought of the mixed doubles title of the All England. Liliyana/Tontowi end the misery and follow the foot-steps of the legendary Imelda Wiguno/Christian Hadinata who won the title in 1979. Their achievement at Birmingham this year becomes the first ever Superseries Premier title since these pairs have established. In addition, Indonesia may now go back on track after rare prestigious winning in the last couple years.

TIAN QING/ZHAO YUNLEI
Born : 19 August 1986/25 August 1986

The world No.2 must be curious with their Chinese counterparts who have seemed invincible. With the richness of experience during her partnership with Du Jing, Yu Yang has managed to produce a strong pair with Wang Xiaoli. But, entering in the final match as the reigning champions has proven more difficult. Tian/Zhao showed a perfect shape by outclassing the more favorites in straight game. The women's doubles title to some extent has relieved Zhao's wound after failing to reach the top with her mixed pair, Zhang Nan with sudden exit in the first round. The Chinese second seeds are the perfect winners for not losing any single game, and without game's tie-break, at the current All England championships.

JUNG JAE-SUNG/LEE YONG-DAE
Born : Jeonju, 25 August 1982/Hwasun, 11 September 1988

A great  momentum for Jung Jae-sung, dating back his past days with lots of rest due to injury. The final match against the archrivals Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng, as always, was amazing and both pairs needed to play the third game to find the deciders. Jung/Lee's success means that China must wait for another year to see them winning the All England men's doubles title since Cai/Fu's victory in 2009.

LIN DAN
Born : Fujian, 14 October 1983

What a quite lucky situation for Lin Dan as his biggest rival, Lee Chong Wei, resisted to continue the second game due to injury. The men's singles final, as well as the ultimate event of the 2012 All England Superseries Premier, should have been the best display of the tournament. Indeed, Lin and Lee had shown it in the second game before the Malaysian superstar called the umpire that he could not complete the match. The 'Super Dan''s success put him equal to Ralph F. Nichols, winning 5 All England titles in men's singles, and prevents LCW from making a hat-trick.
