Hi, as there are some players retiring after the Olympics, I just wanted to make a list. It's probably not complete, so feel free to add or correct players. Players retiring after the OG: Thomas Laybourn Sudket Prapakamol / Saralee Thoungthongkam (not sure) Yang Yu (?) Howard Bach / Tony Gunawan Jung Jae Sung (?) Players retiring later this year: Peter Gade Pi Hongyan Taufik Hidayat Players retired after not reaching the Olympics: Nathan Robertson Sandra Marinello Any additions or corrections?
lee hyun il...really feel very very bad for him along with lee chong wei...at least chong wei got a medal...LHI has nothing to show...really sad...other players, cai yun? robert mateusiak? tine baun?
yes it is. the article has come out, about they official statement for being parted after the olympics. it was held after they got their bronze medal... quite sad actuallt, i never know that side of LYD/CJS
LYD might just come back stronger with a younger and faster partner ..... although that thing with not being mentally adept enough will need some work. He should also consider dumping mixed doubles if there is, ahem, no woman good enough for him .....
Wang Xin too might have to retire early due to her bad injury ..... This Olympics have had too many cases of horrific injuries. Michal Logosz, Sayaka Sato and Wang Xin.
Um, but this is just loose speculation, right? She did a surgery and there has been no mention of retirement for WX. Anyone know the plans of Yao Jie?
