Poll Results (so far)

2008-08-30T15:38:00.004-04:00

So far 11 people have voted in our poll and 8 of the people feel that Jorgen Persson will retire first. I personally feel that Wang Liqin will retire first. I would like to hear some reasons why you fell Persson will retire first because I feel that up and coming players like Ma Long and Chen Qi will soon take Wang Liqin place on the Chinese team. Please leave your comments or thoughts.
