is this the last world grand prix final ? It is sad if they stop doing this great event. Look at the history, I just found out Chinese did amazingly good. They got almost half of the total championships. On the most important men's single side, they won 10 times in the last 17 years. They won more on the women's side. In the early years, there were only singles events. If IBF is short of money, I suggest them just back to the single only grand prix final again. Just like tennis, superstars are all single players. It costs toooo much to host those double players (as least as much as twice for the singles). More detailed suggestion is that limits the number of players. For example, only top 8 men's single and top 4 women's single allowed to compete. It is much easier to host just 12 people instead of 76 people now.
china won 12 women singles titles so far, the only player outside china that won that title is susi susanti. she won 6 times. btw, i much more like to watch men's doubles games than singles.
