1979 Thomas Cup - Iie Sumirat vs Svend Pri

A classic 1979 Thomas Cup match: Iie Sumirat vs Svend Pri. Iie really made use of the (hot & sweaty) home advantage. Memorable scenes were when Iie made a match point and doing some exercise before the next serve. Then finished the game by overacting jumps, which pleased all the audience :-).

It was a fantastic match and I was honoured to be the umpire.

Pertandingan badminton yg paling saya ingat.. waktu itu sya masih SMP..nonton rame rame di tv

[@Gee2311-i4u]

I still remember that jumps....watching on TVRI with my whole family. We're all jumping when Iie got his last point. What a moment....

[@imronaja1599]

Saat itu sptnya Semua penonton Indonesia pasti ikut jingkrak2 spt gayanya sang senior Iie Sumirat.... baik yg bs nonton di TVRI maupun denger RRI.... kala itu masyarakat kita guyup kompak dlm kesederhanaan..

[@sangpengembara3882]

Jadi ingat lagi. Pada point 14 ketika Svend Pri gagal mengembalikan bola, Iie Sumirat semangat bgt ambil bolanya dan sebelum servis tangannya digerak2an spt orang senam jadi mengingatkan saya pada Srimulat. Sy cekakakan waktu itu. It is memorable.

[@wonosobo9165]

😅😅😭😂😂😂😂

[@laskarsahabatalam6001]

Memori yg sama...waktu itu gerakan iie...sangat menjatuhkan mental lawan

[@yiseng4602]

That year Indonesia won its fourth successive Thomas Cup routing Denmark 9-0 in the 1979 Thomas Cup final held at the Istora Senayan. Like what they did with Malaysia three years back at Bangkok in the 1976 Thomas Cup final,Indonesia didn't allow Denmark to win even a point as it was a massacre. Yes,those were days when Indonesia reigned supreme not only in the Thomas Cup but in the unofficial World Championship the All England. Indonesia's fourth Thomas Cup triumph came just two years before China were admitted into the International Badminton Federation (IBF) in July 1981.

"Bapak Provokasi Bulutangkis" dari Indonesia..... Kelak style provokatifnya diteruskan oleh adik²nya seperti Rexy Mainaki, Sigit Budiarto dan kini Kevin Sanjaya......

[@bersamabangyay]

Bener2 legend. Seneng punya Iie Sumirat kala itu👍

[@yiseng4602]

Ilie Sumirat ini pernah mengalahkan dua pemain China kelahiran Indonesia iaitu Hou Chia Chang dan Thang Hsien Hu ketika Kejohanan Badminton Asia berlangsung diBangkok pada tahun 1976.

Indonesia full of badminton maestro!

[@larrydonguy]

Pri was 34 by this time and looked more like a power lifter than a badminton player in physique. Compare his relative slimness when he beat Hartono at the '75 All England.
