Taukah Anda, Bulutangkis Memiliki Kartu Kuning?

29/05/2011

Bandung – Mungkin sebagian dari anda memang sudah familiar dengan istilah kartu kuning dan kartu merah di sepak bola, tapi tahukah anda bahwa kartu kuning dan kartu merah juga dimiliki oleh olah raga tepak bulu asal India ini.

 Di pelaksanaan Djarum Sirkuit Nasional (Djarum Sirnas) Bandung, tercatat umpire satu kali mengeluarkan kartu kuning. Pemberian kartu kuning ini terjadi di laga perempat final yang mempertemukan Fauzi Adnan (PB Jaya Raya Suryanaga) dengan Panji Akbar Sudrajat (Pelatnas).

Kala itu, Fauzi melakukan protes cukup keras atas keputusan hakim garis, hingga ia melemparkan raketnya ke lapangan. Tindakan tidak terpuji ini langsung direspon dengan pemberian kartu kuning oleh umpire.

Ya, kartu kuning menjadi sebuah kartu peringatan terhadap pemain jika mereka melakukan protes keras ataupun melakukan tindakan tidak terpuji, misalnya bersorak langsung di hadapan lawan, atau pun memprovokasi lawan.

Tetapi, jangan khawatir, kartu merah di bulutangkis tidak berarti pemain harus meninggalkan lapangan, tetapi kartu merah berarti angka jika si lawan di kartu merah wasit, atau jika si penerima kartu merah tengah memiliki bola untuk serve, maka setelah kartu merah, lawanlah yang akan melakukan serve.

“Iya, mungkin kami lebih sering memberikan kartu kuning, kalau kartu merah masih sangat jarang di berikan,” ujar Edi salah satu umpire yang berugas di GOR KONI Bandung.

Berani melakukan hal yang tidak terpuji dan menguntungkan lawan?

2011 Sudirman Cup: China on top of the world again

Sunday, May 29, 2011

There was no fairy tale ending for Denmark’s Peter Gade as China once again crushed his dreams of winning the Sudirman Cup.

Twelve years ago, Denmark had reached their first ever Sudirman Cup final with Gade then ranked world No. 1. But there was nothing he could do then or now as China’s overall strength shone on both occasions for comprehensive victories

Gade, who had announced he would retire next year, entered the 2011 Double Star BWF Sudirman Cup World Mixed Team Championships with a dream to play Lin Dan (pictured right), in the final at the Qingdao Sports Centre Conson Stadium.

That dream turned into a nightmare on Sunday as the three-times world champion crushed Gade 21-16, 21-11 to give China a 2-0 lead.

"It is almost impossible to beat China on their own ground. You need a few things to get together before you can do it," said the 34-year-old former world No. 1.

"They've not been under much pressure in the tournament and they still had a lot left in the reserves. Maybe we used a bit more energy along the way, and if we are to beat them, we need that extra edge. We need to be honest, they could almost put out two teams which could make the final. I would have been nice to bow out with a gold medal but I'm still proud we managed to reach the final."

Lin Dan, for his part, acknowledged that Gade is still a formidable opponent and expressed amazement at the Dane's long career.

"It is amazing that he can still be among the top players in the world at his age," said Lin Dan, who turns 28 on Oct 14. "I don't know how he does it and I'm not sure if I can even stick around for that long."

Earlier, All England champions Xu Chen-Ma Jin destroyed Swiss Open winners Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen(pictured left) 21-14, 21-14 in the mixed doubles as China got off to a perfect start in their quest to win their eighth Sudirman Cup and fourth on the bounce.

"We could not match them today and but we gave it our best effort," said Pedersen. "They were just too fast for us. I enjoyed the occasion but not so much the results! Hopefully, we can have another chance the next time."

Three-times world champions, Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng, who were beaten by Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae in the semi-final against South Korea, redeemed their pride when they beat scratch pair Carsten Mogensen-Jonas Rasmussen 21-17, 21-13 to make it 3-0 in only two hours and 11 minutes.

Besides China, only Indonesia and South Korea have emerged as the champions in the biennial series with Denmark the only country from Europe reaching the final.

Gang of four will return to make Indonesia even stronger

Indonesia strongly believe the absence of four former world champions from their Sudirman Cup squad will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Taufik Hidayat (picture), Liliyana Natsir, Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan all missed the 2011 Double Star BWF Sudirman Cup World Mixed Team Championships in Qingdao, but Indonesia still reached Saturday’s semi-final where they were beaten 3-1 by Denmark – only their third loss to the Europeans in 10 Sudirman Cup meetings.

Coach Christian Hadinata said: “We came with a very young squad as some of our top stars are injured.

“I think the younger players in the team have benefited playing in this high quality competition as they were able to witness first hand some of the best players in the world.

“We had no set targets before coming to China. We wanted to do the best we could and we are delighted to have maintained Indonesia’s record of reaching the semi-finals of all 12 Sudirman Cup competitions.”

On the future of Taufik, Liliyana, Markis and Hendra, Christian said he is confident they would return to the national team for future team events.

“There is no reason for them not to return to the national team. I’m confident they will be back once their injuries heal,” said Hadinata

Indonesia, who were the inaugural winners of the competition in 1989, have not reached the final of the Sudirman Cup since a 3-0 loss to China in 2007.
