Year 1988, World badminton legends in Perth WA: Yang Yang, Sidek brothers, etc

[@sastrobejo3964]

Yang Yang got World Champion title 2X: 1987 and 1989. He is very good player, one of badminton legend. When he was a yunior player, he defeat Icuk Sugiarto: 15-9; 15-6 in quarter final of Indonesian open 1983.

[@xiaohongtang8278]

I still enjoy Zhao Jianhua's play more

[@songsisters6269]

Thanks Mr. Perryman for keeping your words 👍.

[@th.cendawanth6175]

Hope to see more of these memorable badminton games , really missed those players n their actions

[@xtremexn]

Nice. Was in Perth for intervarsity games in 1992.

[@kkendell954]

I trained with the Sideks in Kuala Lumpur and they are not only brilliant badminton players but they are a fantastic family

[@shahjahan1016]

Sidek brothers superb doubles

[@Imarkal]

Sze Yu is a popular actor in Taiwan. He actually a great player.

[@sonnymak6707]

one may say the players were slower... but the 2 pairs helped make the game progressed. the Chinese pair was very good in attack and was one of the most lethal in attack. those days defence of doubles were quite bad therefore the China pair considered top. The msian pair were not good in attack but they were phenominal in defence and could return any smashes. So the games of these two pairs occillate. The indonesian and the Koreans during this time had to developped different strategies to counter these two pairs. Koreans of Park joo Bong play lot of drives and cross court whilst the Indonesians had to alter their attacking game to that of variable shots to counter the Sideks ultra defensive game.

[@Farawaysoclose]

In my opinion Yang Yang he will always be one of the best single player in the world

[@ekongtea1632]

I think no

[@kokboonshin4850]

Yes i think so , Yang Yang , Zhao Jian Hua , Lin Dan , Rudi Hartano , Morten Frost , Kento Momota , Arbi Hariyanto they all very strong , but Lin Dan among them has achieved the best results due to his long lasting stamina

[@kakughasumi1733]

Lee Chong wei too

[@ddyeduard3541]

​@@kokboonshin4850the top 15 accrding to me Rudy Hartono , Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, LiemSwie King, Zhao Jian Hua, Yang Yang , Morten Frost Hansen, Haryanto Arby, Taufik Hidayat Hendrawan, Victor Axelsen, Peter Gade Kenzo Momota Icuk Sugiarto Hermawan Susanto

[@BananaBoy76]

He definitely is. His style is calm & steady. He is not an attacking or smashing player. He is more into rallies & tactics.

[@fundduke]

Thank you very much for sharing this crystal clear video of yang yang match. Do u have any zhao jian hua match as this clear to share? Looking forward to it.

[@deobandakbandakdeo8174]

[@bsybilly]

Yang Yang was the opponent of Foo in the 80's, then become Foo's coach on the 90's

[@zazzzanklebruff6627]

Wow, in 20 years the difference is crazy. I mean I understand that they have different racquets, but if you compare these guys to pro players nowadays it’s not really even close.

[@bresiliafc7390]

Pas tellement c'est une impression je pense. Le badminton a très peu progressé

[@SJPDurham]

Ah, the old days.

[@nurasrisofyan8867]

Permainan yang menarik untuk dinikmati karena kedua pemain tenang dan berusaha menyuguhkan seni badminton

[@jamessutcliffe7984]

Andrew Connolly was the most talented Aussie player I saw. The vics were always the best players in my day. No idea now.

[@user-ow4ij8ix3m]

Never used hawk-eye once, the players really have full confidence in the line judges.

[@1001001a]

people (line judges) last time don't have attention span problem with current generation

[@emersonlee9968]

nowdays racket very different compare to old one

[@jinmingsun3026]

Yang yang, amazing confidence

[@MustAfaalik]

Thx BAWA. I was there when i had more hair. Still, there was a mix up with the names and scoring @ 10.34. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie. Oi Oi Oi.

[@jackralf2916]

nice shorts, by the way

[@peachfreude]

I didn’t know there were second services in badminton

[@KeithHiew]

Yang Yang was 25 here. Imagining who's the best: a 25-y-o Yang Yang, a 25-y-o Zhao Jianhua, a 25-y-o Lin Dan and a 25-y-o Momota Kento.

[@suryasindarta9440]

I will pick zhao jianhua. He is beast,the best offensive player

[@acuntok5815]

Zhao jian hua, in prime undefeatable..

[@heri7386]

Yang Yang adalah pemain yang paling ditakuti Icuk Sugiarto.

[@OmageOmage]

Shuttlecock quality a lot better and more durable 30 years ago?

[@1001001a]

cocks in general too .. everything is messed up nowadays

[@MCR91NSX]

String tensions those day were mostly less than 25lbs the shuttle rarely gets squish

[@qidongxu7339]

There were that many Lin Dan back then who changed shuttle after every point.

[@michaelyapkf]

Classic!

[@theendlesswind]

Yang yang is so calm....

[@1001001a]

life is calmer back then

[@michaellim8833]

Do you know how heavy the rackets were in those days ...! if the boys went back time and play these players, they will not even get 5 points!!!!!

[@taufikabidin412]

who knows...Tech and scorig system plays a huge difference. Who knows if great players can be easily defeated and weak players from that era are actually good

[@xthene]

nah, 1988 we already had the carbonex 8, 9 , 10 ... 21 series .... and these are pretty light too

[@qidongxu7339]

I still have my carbonex 8 and 20 for my kids to play with. They are about the same weight as the Duora Z strike I'm using now.

[@sokteoh2011]

Looked like Perth did have proper badminton hall in the past.. where are they now??

[@songsisters6269]

Still does. As you can see this is the Perth Superdrome, AKA the HBF Stadium which was opened in 1986, same year as Australians Audrey Tuckey (WA) and Michael Scandolera won the Commonwealth Games gold medal in Edinburgh, and only two years before this very event which was broadcasted on Channel 9. One of the commentators was in fact Michael Scandolera himself. Sze Yu was amongst the top players in the world at the time. The MS silver medalist at the 1986 Commonwealth Games also represented Australia at Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, and held titles at Taipei Open, US Open... He went on to become a well known actor after retiring from badminton. His father was amongst the first overseas Chinese Indonesian badminton players returning to mainland China in the 50’s.

[@sokteoh2011]

@@songsisters6269 Thank you for your reply. Does the hall still have the dedicated badminton courts as can be seen from this video?

[@songsisters6269]

BadmintonConnect WA This was never meant to be a dedicated badminton facility anyhow. The arena serves multi sporting & cultural purposes and is certainly regarded as a top option should we have the badminton competitions of this level coming to WA. What you see here, as you would understand, was only set up for that particular event. We need to have our own, Australian stars & pros, and keep the Australian legends of this calibre in this sport to raise its profile. With today’s technology, we are able to record, share and view badminton footages of all sorts, though BWF could have done so much more to bring Badminton beyond the badminton community to the general public’s enjoyment on mainstream media.

Yang Yang often wins against Icuk Sugiarto, Yang Yang often loses to Morten Frost, Icuk Sugiarto often wins against Morten Frost. The three badminton player legends who made the pyramids beat each other.

[@andrewchong6161]

How games hv progress over the yrs. If the standard they r playing. I don't think they can play pass junior competition.

[@carmelo007]

Andrew Chong are you sure? Look at the skill of Yang Yang..it's really near perfect I guess.

[@andrewchong6161]

@@carmelo007 Observed how high the shuttle travel up more than 4" above during net play. If Current junior players gone alrdy. Smashes very slow not powerful & recovery speed. Power comparison 10 to 1. Yes, racket also different now high technology material used. Vast difference comparison. I m not a professional but I can notice so. Video match YY same standard as average player today.

[@peterhammer6915]

I think you have a misunderstanding of the level 30 years ago. Yang Yang in his prime would still make it pass the first rounds in a World Championship or similar. The game has changed yes, but for his talent it would have been easy to change the game. This was by no means a good match by Yang yang.

[@llamudos9809]

Sidek Brothers were the best doubles players the world have ever seen. The players today would not be in the same league. These guys were skilled and played with rackets that limited the game. If you gave a top ten double team a racket from the 90s and asked them to take on the Sideks they would not get into double figures. The standard today of the Badminton skill has not improved but the tech has.

[@peterhammer6915]

@@llamudos9809 for me Park Joo-Bong and Kim Moon-soo are the best doubles pair of all-time and Park the best overall doubles and mixed doubles player.
