On the 3rd match of the final day, scheduled Mens Singles between Lin Dan and Chen Jin, the organizers and the committee knew the withdrawal of No1 seed Lin Dan, due to stomachache.
It was not known when exactly it was known to the committee of the withdrawal, but it was kept from the spectators who paid and came to watch the entire finals day. It could have been announced to the public before the start of the first game, XD, but they did not.
On the exact time for the MS to come in, a 19 year old boy, the tournament’s announcer apparently, was asked to make the impt annoucement. They are very sorry that MS will be a walkover due to gastroenteritis. This came as a shock to all, who boo-ed Lin Dan like a rotten egg.
the tournament’s announcer asked all to welcome both MS players , who will come in to the field to present some autographed souveuirs to the public. Which was in fact 4 small Li Ning Pouch to put ur comestics or pens. These 4 pouches were thrown into the coporate box crowd , like feeding dogs to be honest. No smiles no expressions. So much for the gift presentation. After continous boos they both proceeded to the podium to receive their prizes, USD 15,000 and USD 7,000 respectively.
Now in a turn of events, the next match received some very strong nationalist support rofl. The crowd boo-ed at china’s WD players against the Koreans. Now this is more exciting then a normal final.
Singapore seems like a barbaric country suddenly. Now , wats the big deal about withdraw? If u stomach , u stomach. Cant force the guy to play really. Im sure other nation crowd will take it pretty well, except sg.
But im sure Lin Dan couldnt be bothered. He seems annoyed by the boos and the fact that 10,000 crowd couldnt support and understand him in his illness. 5 years he didnt join this compeition, and the time he finally did, this happens. I guess singaporeans couldnt take this bullshit ROFL. He is the Olympic champion and world champion, and honestly he couldnt give a shit about SG on his facial expression. But surely the fault is at the organizers. They could have handled it better. Information early and, they maybe didnt want to hurt their last day ticket sales
And finally….
Peter Gade : WTFstomachache?
I rather see our all time fav Mr Peter go play. hope to see u next year. ^.^
