0 Road to London : Cina Penasaran Ganda Putra Olimpiade

Dalam bulutangkis Olimpiade, Cina adalah negara yang paling sukses. Sejak Barcelona 1992, The Mighty China telah mengoleksi total 30 medal, terdiri atas 11 medali emas, 6 medali perak, dan 13 medali perunggu. Jumlah ini jauh mengungguli Indonesia (18 medali: 6 emas, 6 perak, 6 perunggu) dan Republik Korea (17 medali: 6 emas, 7 perak, 4 perunggu).

Akan tetapi masih ada satu hal yang membuat Cina penasaran hingga kini, yaitu belum pernah menjuarai nomor Ganda Putra. Prestasi terbaik mereka pada nomor ini diraih pada Olimpiade Beijing 2008 melalui pasangan Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng yang mempersembahkan medali perak. Seperti kita ketahui, Cai/Fu dikalahkan oleh pasangan Indonesia, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan dalam pertandingan final.

Pada Olimpiade London 2012 mendatang, ganda putra Cina kemungkinan akan diwakili, masih oleh Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng, dan Chai Biao/Guo Zhendong. Jika tidak ada perubahan atau kejadian yang luar biasa, kuartet inilah yang akan memikul tanggung jawab tim bulutangkis Cina sekaligus menghentikan rasa penasaran yang mereka pendam selama 20 tahun. Sebuah tugas yang tidak ringan karena, meskipun Cai/Fu saat ini menduduki peringkat pertama dunia, dalam prakteknya tidak sehebat 3-4 tahun yang lalu. Pasangan ini sering diganggu oleh cidera dan masalah kebugaran, terutama pada diri Cai Yun. Ya, faktor usia memang tidak dapat dibohongi.

Bukan tanpa alasan jika Cina merasa 'inferior' dalam kompetisi ganda putra. Selain belum pernah meraih medali emas, ganda putra mereka hanya menyumbang 2 (dua) medali untuk kontingen. Artinya, kontribusi ganda putra adalah yang paling sedikit (6,6%). Selain Cai/Fu, satu medali perunggu dipersembahkan oleh Li Yongbo/Tian Bingyi (1992). Sedangkan negara yang paling sering tampil menjadi juara ganda putra bulutangkis Olimpiade adalah Indonesia. Tim Merah Putih telah mengoleksi 3 (tiga) medali emas, ditambah 1 (satu) medali perak dan 2 (dua) medali perunggu. Dua emas lainnya menjadi milik Republik Korea melalui Park Joo-bong/Kim Moon-soo dan Kim Dong-moon/Ha Tae-kwon.

Mampukah Cina memenuhi ambisi mereka tahun ini? Melihat perkembangan terakhir, sepertinya agak berat karena persaingan ganda putra sangat ketat.

Peluang Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng

Selain harus 'membereskan urusan' dengan 'archrivals' mereka, Jung Jae-sung/Lee Yong-dae, Cai/Fu harus waspada terhadap ancaman lain seperti Ko Sung-hyung/Yoo Yeon-seong, Naoki Kawamae/Shoji Sato, Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu, atau Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen. Bahkan, menurut saya duet yang disebut terakhir ini boleh jadi memiliki peluang yang paling besar untuk meraih medali emas karena dari segi kebugaran lebih stabil dibandingkan Cai/Fu atau Jung/Lee. Secara mental bertanding, Boe/Mogensen lebih unggul dibandingkan Ko/Yoo, Kawamae/Sato, dan Fang/Lee.

Peluang Chai Biao/Guo Zhendong

Chai/Guo hingga pekan ke-13 tahun ini menduduki peringkat ke-5 dunia. Pasangan ini diharapkan menjadi penerus kejayaan Cai/Fu. Tetapi, mereka belum terlalu solid sehingga prestasinya tidak konsisten. Kualitas permainannya masih di bawah para ganda lapisan atas dunia. Jangan dulu berpikir melawan Jung/Lee, Boe/Mogensen, atau kompatriotnya sendiri, Chai/Guo harus konsentrasi dahulu untuk melewati hadangan Bona Septano/Mohammad Ahsan, Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong, atau Chris Adcock/Andrew Ellis.

The best badminton players from five continental confederations are going to participate into the sixth occasion since badminton has been incepted by the International Olympic Committee in Barcelona 1992.

Until the Beijing 2008, only four countries have managed to win gold medals of the total 29 sets of gold medals provided: Indonesia, Republic of Korea, China, and Denmark. Though badminton plays five individual divisions, the 1992 edition did not play mixed doubles, one that created history for the Koreans in Atlanta 1996.

The inception of badminton into the Olympic Games has proven the best gift for Indonesia, a country that previously only dreamt about playing well at the global sports multievents. When the women's Archery team won the Silver Medal in Seoul 1988, it was the best achievement of all time. Then came the 'era of gold' when Susi Susanti made an even bigger history, not only for Indonesia, but also for the world of badminton, to become the first gold medalist in the Olympic Badminton.

Record holders in the Olympic Games Participation

Since the first Olympic Badminton, Indonesia has delegated 48 players who played in five divisions and 37 spots. In men's singles, Taufik Hidayat holds the record for representing the country three times (2000, 2004, and 2008). In women's singles, Susi Susanti is still the best for playing twice (1992, 1996). In men's doubles, the most representing record is held by Rexy Mainaky/Ricky Subagja for playing at the Olympic Games three times from 1992 to 2000. In women's doubles, the record goes to Lili Tampi/Finarsih who played in Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996. In mixed doubles, Trikus Harjanto/Minarti Timur (2000 and 2004) and Nova Widianto/Liliyan Natsir (2004 and 2008) become the joint-record holders for Indonesia.

Some players have a unique experience in terms of playing double roles: Flandy Limpele played in men's doubles with Eng Hian in 2000 and 2004, and in mixed doubles with Risyeu Rosalina in 1996 and with Vita Marissa in 2008; Liliyana Natsir played in women's doubles with Vita Marissa as well as mixed doubles with Nova Widianto in 2008; Vita Marissa played in mixed doubles with Nova Widianto in 2004, whereas in 2008 she played the double roles in mixed doubles and women's doubles (with Flandy Limpele and Liliyana Natsir); Bambang Suprianto made the similar record in 1996 by playing in men's doubles with Gunawan and in mixed doubles with Zelin; finally, Trikus Harjanto played mixed doubles with Minarti Timur (2000 and 2004) and men's doubles with Sigit Budiarto in 2004.

In terms of overall doubles divisions, the men's doubles player Gunawan played at two different Olympic Games with different pairs (Eddy Hartono in 1992, Bambang Suprianto in 1996), whereas the mixed doubles player Vita Marissa did as well with Nova Widianto (2004) and Flandy Limpele (2008). Flandy becomes the Indonesian player to play the most games overall (18 games won and 12 games lost) during his service to the men's doubles and mixed doubles squads.

1 Badminton Will Survive the Olympic "Berth"

Rumors said that badminton will not discontinue its inception to the summer olympic games in the future. An official from Indonesian badminton governing body was said to inform that this racquet sport is not going to show up at he 2020 Olympic Games. Is that true or simply a 'lip service' behind particular sentiment?

BIG CROWDS AT MALAYSIA OPEN 2012

It will be hardly believed that badminton is no longer expected by the world's greatest quadrennial sport events. Indeed, badminton has been continuing to grow by an outreach across five continents. From the economic perspective, the sport has also given more promises to the players by offering more money prizes. For example, a BWF Superseries edition provides $ 1 million for the winners of every of the five divisions competed. The presentation of the game is more interesting, comparable with the other racquet game, such as tennis.

From the political aspect, badminton is quite strong because it is very popular in countries where people are enthusiastic, such as Indonesia, China, India, Korea and Malaysia in Asia, and England, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands in Europe. Even in the United States, which has powerful and influential capability in global political issues, also plays badminton.

If the reason, according to the local official mentioned above, is lacking popularity, he should have taken a look at the current development. In Africa, which is probably he referred to, is now a more developing continent in badminton. In the 2011 season, Africa hosted six tournaments in BWF official schedules. This year, likely due to somewhat busier schedules such as Thomas and Uber Cup preliminary round and finals as well as London Olympic Games, African nations still have a momentum to play the international events in Uganda (February, International Series) and Egypt (March, Future Series).

BADMINTON IS MORE ENTERTAINING RIGHT NOW

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) must have a fundamental reason to drop badminton from its olympic events. The organisation will need to take an indepth approach to have a belief that badminton has enough strength to be competitive. This sport has many supporters because the countries with large number of population like it. Let us consider the economic gain. It is likely no taking a genius to know which sports that must be expendable, if any, for more quality and interesting display of the olympics The IOC will sacrifice lots of fortunes should the badminton event be dismissed.

Notwithstanding the controversy with ot without the olympic in the future life, badminton fans should never run out belief to support this sport. Badminton will continue to grow bigger and bigger because the sport offers interesting shows. It is where speed, power, agility and strength collide. It is the sport that always teaches anyone a quick decision-making in seconds, perfect response to a critical situation. More importantly, badminton is safer for the athletes who play it because they, technically, do not need to have body contacts with opponents. So how can everybody who favors badminton be alerted and anxious with the future only because it is not popular to the IOC officials? If they require safety sport, badminton will surely have a better answer, even than shooting, archery, or gymnastics, not to mention boxing, football/soccer, and basketball.
