That’s how long it took China’s Lin Dan to snatch the Beijing Olympic 2008 Gold medal from Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei. I was not disappointed with his failure to get the gold but I was a bit dismayed to see that there was hardly a fight back from him.
He looked very tired and lost… Nevertheless, he had got something for Malaysia and that still matters…
May be it is the last hope or the only hope for Malaysia to get a medal in Beijing Olympic 2008. Lee Chong Wei beat Indonesia’s Sony Dwi Kuncoro yesterday to remain in the last four for the medals.
Today he will meet Lee Hyunil of South Korea in Men’s Singles Badminton Semifinal and let’s see whether he could be going for the first ever Olympic Gold for Malaysia or not.
The other Malaysian that I know who is still in the game is Cheng Chu Sian who beat Lee Chang-Hwan of South Korea in Archery. He has a lot more battle to go through… Did I miss anybody?
