I agreed. no mental strength.

If she still China, may win something.

Singaporean mentality is not on sports, but more on how to feed your family..

Same like goal 2010 world cup.. WTF?? Now becomes wat..? Qualify for Asian game or wat..?? kaoz.. might as well says 2010, beat Malaysia, more realistic..

[weileong]

IMHO, still wun win the world cup! coz too many Singaporeans will be complaining that they are not home-grown!!

I dun agrees.. the North Korean definitely has nerves of steel coming back from 1-3 down to win 4-3. If I will ever to be down in a game either like Soccer or Snooker, it does take great effort to make a comeback.

I applaud the effort of the North Korean, but not JiaWei.

Its like a soccer team leading 3-1 and start to play defensive for 90mins.

Nobody to blame but yourself.

[ReDDeviLs]

dont have concentration, like soccer cannot cope with it..

but the korean 1 very "kb"

[terryansimon]

actually, the pressure on Jia Wei's shoulders is not generated by herself, but by the people back home in Singapore.

even one of our ministers today actually said something along the lines that we should model ourselves after her, how she handles pressure and rises again from a failure and all.

that, coupled with the sports council's high expectations of obtaining at least a medal, plus the money that you stand to gain, adds a significant amount of strain on a young woman's shoulders.

[roidan]

lost.....4th placing

[jesperlam]

Too many mistakes....

[ReDDeviLs]

sian.... an idiot friend of mine is very happy saying that betrayer shall fall.. his from china...

i find it very stupid.. sigh~

[weileong]

One is FT and the other imported talent

[blue.tang]

lost but she had already tried her best.. hope in beijing 2008, she will do better..

[lightningstrike]

a relive of the sydney 2000 olympics.

[RAV-65]

Well, after all, she did her best! and has done us proud, b4 the Olympics, hopes wasn't even high on her! She's done well!!!

[weishun]

Well... all we can say now is she tried her best... and we have to wait 4 years again for another chance for singapore to get another medal...

[Chris]

She tried her best but I thought she was not composed enough and let her emotions seen from her body langauge. The Korean are very strong mentally and winning or losing, their face never change.

In 2008, I think will be even more difficult. In Beijing, the Chinese will not be defeated. Also, imagine the home crowd support!

[weishun]

Hmmm crowd support plays a big part in a sporting event. But i'm sure Singapore will by then be strong enough and more well prepared for the challenge as we can come sooo close to earning a medal through Jia Wei this year. Hope for the better in the next coming Olympics...

[bwilly]

sadly my prediction abt her going down do comes true..

it not easy to pick up from a great lost like jia wei did during the semi.

also I think the great pressure from everybody back home did affect her somewhat. Plus the money on her mind.

I was right afterall.. sigh.. 4yrs later.. she will be 27.. how many 4yrs can she have..
