[shakyork]

hebat..

[Blitzzards]

Great defensive shot but not enough to secure his ultimate loss to Chen Hong while defending his last year's World Champion title in this World Championship 2006 Round of 16.

[Anerd8]

this commentator doesn't sound like a real commentator instead he sounded like a guy who gets blowjob

[skypjuh]

[rezarahardian]

slow mo sounds effect always crack me up. the commentator sounds like godzilla...

[alphie10]

WTF this guy has to train me on how he does those back shots holy shit hes amazing never seen lin dan or lee chong wei peform such skill

[YF19sama]

One of this most reactive "trick shot" to me.

Taufik style is pure excellence is this kind of situations, I envy most the footskills and the beauty he put on the game during this career.

[wishyme]

I miss taufik, ricky/rexi, and sigit badminton trick.

They show us the art of badminton.

[rocknbluez]

@wishyme fully aggre with you. The so called art is beyond so called skill

[aznfishie]

very sad his prime time is past, he's only one year older than lcw atm right?

i mean, danes play much longer, like peter gade, wished he could've stayed prime longer, wanted to see more of that, and his backhands!!

[adhrayne]

only one in the world...

only TAUFIK HIDAYAT

[RacistSucks10]

he shouted oh fuck o.o

[imilkdude]

that is naughty! HAH! win it win it win it.

OOOHH YEEEESSSS

[joshua5107]

Lol

[swajiei]

@imilkdude funny commentator.. =] this is great.. XD

[casablancaaccent]

for some reason, i think the commentator is getting sweatier than the players :)

[arshad280]

what was that ! 0:19

[HaloFanatic789]

that, was something known as BEAST

[andysaputra19]

win it win it win it

ooooo yesss!! LOL

[asdsia]

hehe

[nazzle]

taufik prime time is past, but he still in my favorite player

[JORDANLOH727]

the genies player

[E8322MAJ]

That is naughty. lol

[werengjantan]

taufik man is calm n cool

[sputniknick]

that commentator sounds a right dick

[pigeonwing9172]

@sputniknick i think it brings more life to the game lol

[aangloveanas]

taufik is the best, not lin dan

[TheRockyw]

Taufick had talent and artistic flair, and then he was trained by IIE SUMIRAT the most artistic but erratic player the world ever see.Sumirat is the only player that ever defeated TANG HSIEN HU & HOU CHIA CHANG.If he is not a lazy hedonistic guy his career would havebeen like Taufik his beloved pupil.

[WTFinternational123]

LOL

that is NAUGHTY!

[Rikimaru915]

it is too bad taufik cant play as good as before, but i still love him LOL

[wildanramadhani]

reminds me of my hero Muhammad Ali..

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee :D

[ACallow14]

That is naughty

[koolyman]

Awh man he has to be joking!

[supercrazycougar]

lin dan >lee chong wei in skill.

maybe not personality, but in skill.

[crackerjack113]

win with style haha

[zahidan06]

amazing... taufik can catch that smash.... so fast him eye haha...

[mamiyukero]

damn good ;D

[FutabaUploader]

Lin Dan could probably beat Taufik in their current states, but I believe Taufik had the most talent in the badminton world when he was on top of his game.

[HnTDino1337]

right now yeah, lin dan could beat taufik. However, lin dan isn't even number 1 any more.

If you were to compare Taufik's best and LDs best, Taufik would win by a long shot.

[GogetamaxSS4]

hmnn you cant really compare both players. Lin Dan was developed with new training system while Taufik has the talent. I would say they are about even. The only reason that Taufik lasted this long is becuz of his expierences and talent. Without neither, he cant really be called a legend.

[bdmntn07]

i agree 100%. Taufik in his prime is probably the best player the world has ever seen. In 2005 in world championships, he beat lin dan 21-3 21-7

[bdmntn07]

soz i mean 15-3 15-7. That was Taufik in his prime, in the final against lin dan at world championships. after winning olympics the previous year. Taufik ruled badminton, but now its all cred to lin dan (and some to lcw haha)

[SonicShock]

Taufik was one of the best at this time, but I'm not sure if it's fair to say he ruled... there were other dominant players who ruled also, such as Peter Gade, Chen Hong, etc.

[L17061412]

Well .. sometime i agree with that

But , many hidayat's fan do love him . He is well-known talented badminton player .. Sometime i agree to say that taufikh rule on that prime ..

[pjj45]

Wow...amazing...that was awesome!I wonder how can anyone saved that shot lol.

[1lb]

he is the best...

[indogrenade]

Taufik Hidayat is like Christiano Ronaldo of Badminton

[hlintlp]

i totally agree with you. I wish people would play badminton too in the U.S.

[garra299]

I hope so. I'm Indonesian. When will be the next championship?

[williamaseng]

i agree with you..people in the US need to play badminton..its fun and a great sport..taufik has a unique style of playing as cristiano ronaldo does in soccer

[Urzu3]

not only badminton.. but sepak takraw and hockey~  =)

[L17061412]

He is from a rich family right?Then he play so many sport until he choose for badminton with his unique skill ... Can you give some more information about taufikh?

[Urzu3]

well, i don't know anything about him.. u could just ask himself.. =P

[ShadowB8]

bwahahaha!! the audience voices in the slow motion sounds hilarious!!

anyway... WOW!!

He can still counter a smash like that.. with style!! Taufik is awesome!

[PeterKoreaKim]

lol in badminton years if your 28 its lke your 65

[heavenlyshin]

Taufik stole age (fake birth 2 years) actually.

i was in his badmin club.

[zhonngtai]

u live in us taufik live in indonesia who r u goin to kid noob

[heavenlyshin]

duh, i was born in indonesia. he trained in SGS (sangkuriang Graha Sarana) now that place have new name which is SGS Electric. his coach told me that he stole age about 2 years. his friend Holvy DePau and Andy Topek said that too. so, think before your say.....

[zhonngtai]

kiss my butt, asshole

[heavenlyshin]

lick your mom's pussy before you write.

fucking singapore.....

[herunarivelice]

I wouldn't be surprised if he faked his birth. A lot of people do that in China and Southeast Asia.

[littlehuman07]

Taufik seems young but he's old..He still look young!!Really hoped to see him in matches again..Especially in the olympics. I wanna see him how he thrash Lin Dan. Its gona be exciting!However, haiis..if his stamina is still as good as before..Confirm Thrash Lin Dan single digit.

[terciptauntuku]

taufik is a good badminton player, but he too old to be regular player anymore. LOL

[bestrong135]

he is good in badminton but seems that he doent like to improve anymore..

[RokushoGX]

too bad taufik dont train anymore, or he'd surpass lin dan by alot, crazy reflexes, btw that voice guy sounds like stewie

[Shudduplar]

eh lcw got win lin b4... but taufik got a better chance o.O

[littlehuman07]

did you guys notice something? I only heard of taufik winning Lin Dan. Maybe Taufik is the only person who can beat Dan!1Taufik ROCKS!If he didn't get dengue, he might be in the top three for olympics!!And i hope he dun retire!!PLEASE!!

[birucion]

indonesia badminton is the best

[crackinside]

outrages! said the commentator.. i actually could not find the best word to describe that performance. Fantastic. Wish he could get beck to his top form.

[flekzout]

he just recover from dengue fever like 1 week.. thats why he lost in the olympics.. why dont u try to get a dengue fever and recover like 1 week and try to jump n run.. lets see if you will faint or not..

[Remaxed]

how do u noe.?

[myystiqueen]

wow!!!!

it was indeed one of his best performance...

[audisport]

he just lost in the olympics in the first round:( Didn't seem his usual self .

[sharkl11]

In an interview, he stated that winning the Olympics was not his top priority. Seems like he settled down with his family life and does not have the heart and dedication it takes to stay on top.

[ilovedigitalph33r]

ur a gay!!

[ilovedigitalph33r]

its still better than sucking ur mom's

[DLCals]

hmpf. if i still remember, last night your dad suck my dicks and it feels so good.. you were a sucker family.. promise:)

[ilovedigitalph33r]

if I still remember, both ur mom and ur dad were sucking my dick, also, they were praising me for not having a penis that's been caved inwards, unlike yours.

[holohulolo]

Theres one match where he did it 2 times consecutively .his awesome!

[arbenholstad]

he's my favourite player:P

[krisgunawan]

taufik hidayat...

that's all i can say...

[eccchung]

any reason why it is not available? miss it. too bad.

[sxost23]

[jackson2102]

[bat972rtiuo]

Indonesia can play badminton quite well espically indonesian.N y the speaker talk rubbish like this is rubbish n all sorts of rubbish like arrangers!lucky for taufik

[Reckbomber]

[braaiiinn]

LOL. I was about to say that >:O.

[redhahariw]

ultimo coolio

[xwhiteriverx]

woah....

[holohulolo]

WoW!

[akbaremre]

Taufiq, i never doubt the person, talented player with full bandminton technic, supported by his strong arm hand -forehand and backhand- he some times did an amazing job. There are so many good player in badminton.

1. Park ju bong from Korea Im a big fan of you since i was child :) now im 27

2. Taufiq hidayat from Indonesia

[bigmacchris]

How camp is that commentary? "That is naughty", it sounds like something from a 70s Carry On film.

[oo1abah]

i have done that to .

when i did it it was almost clean luck,

but it looked pretty nice anyway i think :P

[male89march]

its fucking awesome

i need to learn more

[rajafizik79]

one of the superb player in the world

[01163523]

[andythezerg5]

[megasoft89]

[drummerattic]

[arsal1977]

[1551974]

[Jayeire1]

[ven606]

my god.. cant stop watching this.. haha

[EvoIII]

"that is naughty" lol

[buster4life]

haha.

I can do that 2 :P

Only in practice.

In a match te speed is to high ;)

[kg891304]

pfffff

kick ass.

[lightofwadowice]

to explain why taufik couldnt become world no1 with such awesome skills:

2) he is one of the most inconsistent badminton top players

3) since his marriage with daughter of indonesia's sport federation president, taufik has, i think, been not so focus on the game. you can figure out yourself why

[fri0720]

i have to agree with you. his recent tournaments like japan and taipei, in the final for both he just dont have enough stamina in the final set. and dont understand why after he won the first set he cant keep the momentum going on. inconsistent again. he should had won em.

[lightofwadowice]

yeah actually the most important thing for any athlete to become world no1 is to be consistent cos you can never top the world rankings without doing constantly well in tournaments. that is why lin dan has been no1 cos his the stamina allows him to do well in most competitions he is participating in. but of course his skill is also important

[sbyboy]

Maybe because he just got married recently, might reduce his stamina and endurance

[lightofwadowice]

to explain why taufik couldnt become world no1 with such awesome skills:

1) he is the most skilful male singles' badminton player but his stamina is hardly adorable. you can see that taufik often gets too tired when a game commences to a third set or juice

[ifal]

it is we call art of badminton, not robot like lin dan.

[weluvy66]

yeah

[miladyaries89]

=______________= If there's a badminton player that plays like a robot, they would lost by now. Each player has their pros and cons.

[xanderjanz]

so naughty

[fmafreak123]

bobobbobobobo

[sbowesuk]

If you'd like to watch the 2007 World Badminton Championships Men's Singles Final, the match is on my profile! Features Indonesia's Sony Dwi Kuncoro taking on the world no.1 Lin Dan of China :)

[terrigan]

Possibly the only other person that can do it that smooth would have to be Sigit Budiarto

[turingman]

he is awesome!

[nikramzi]

because the no 1 more good than him.Taufik sometimes not consistent.

[sbowesuk]

With skill like that, why is Taufik Hidayat not no.1?

[kevbadder]

If Taufik is not n°1 is because he doesn't play a lot of tournaments. Only the big ones like olympic games, world championships, asian games etc... not like Lin Dan

[ngoioinei]

The guy opposing Taufik is not Lin Dan, Its Cheng Hong

[DyeBalla888]

lmfao!! that is naughty!

[xoCUTIEEox]

oh no!!!!no no no dat is naughty. hahaha hilarious!

[kakofum]

lmao agreed! naughty!

[zeroskateboarding123]

oh no! no no no! dat is naughty! LOL thats hilarious!

[kinalsal]

Perfect and Complete

[miladyaries89]

Not really. But he's the best player when he's confident.

[cxyian]

yeah, plus he is in good condition (not injured) and not angrying with the umpires and the lines man. :p

[lornajane123]

taufik is very talented. awesome backhand and defence!

[rexlu91]

i can do it, but standing still, not like him doing it while running across the court!!

[billoybong]

taufik hanya sedang tidak beruntung. next time its bye bye lindan

[billoybong]

yeahh mas taufik harumkan nama indonesia di mata dunia! go taufik!!

[neoz]

tapi sayangnya, lin dan sudah kasi kalah taufik dong..kahkahkah

[lancelot909]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaah !!!

great

[dhimassatriapinilih]

berjuang taufik, banggakan indonesia

[kinalsal]

Hari ini Taufik Hidayat kembali mengharumkan nama Indonesia dengan menundukkan Chen Hong di Kejuaraan Bulutangkis Asia 2007 di Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Salut buat Taufik.

[newskill2007]

maybe lindan can...even i can do that sometimes..

[bigshowfor69]

That is one of the craziest shots I have seen. To successfully use it and make it back over the net in a tournament and recovering to win the point is amazing. I dont think Lin Dan can do that.

[rnoldc]

ayos!

[SonicShock]

I can't even tell what happened...
