I wish we have more women in XD pair that can play in the style of Butet and Vita Marissa Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Mentoring is the better way to explain Butet to Owi's relation. Let's not forget she's already a 2 times World Champions and Olympic silver medalist when they started the partnership. Owi used to have the character of partying around (play harder than work harder) when he's still single. But thanks to Butet, he's where he is today.
It doesn't matter what its called. what matters is can he be a mentor to Gloria? He himself after all these years is still under mentorship of Butet. Yes, I'm a bit pessimistic here.
Owi butet got 1 billion rupiah (74K usd) for winning the world championship 2017 from PB Djarum. Butet said next year MIGHT be her last year in badminton
Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir joined Kudus Half Marathon last Sunday (September 24) together with another Indonesian Badminton Legends Hastomo Arbi, Liem Swie King, Hariyanto Arbi and Sigit Budiarto. This event is a part of Kudus City 468th anniversary (Kudus City is their original club before they joined National team, located in Central Java province).

INA XD is in dire situation now. Lilyana is immobile and Towi is not as potent as he used to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Tontowi/Liliyana are the reigning World No.1 in the next updated BWF World Ranking when the BAC result is included, it will be published at next Thursday. Congratulation for both players!
actually natsir moves better than in a long time. Its plaster but she looks free of injury. Never seen her more confident in her movement since ChinaOpen 2016 where she got injured.
