Lee Chong Wei's da man!

* UPDATES *

Unfortunately Chong Wei lost to the very-in-great-form Lin Dan of China in Olympics 2008's Men's Singles Event with scores of 21-12, 21-8. Lin Dan was simply the greater player today and lived up to his #1 billing in the world rankings. Kudos to him! Head's up Chong Wei. You've done better than most people expect you to be.. to reach this stage. The whole country will of course be upset (at least for a while), but please do not take it to the heart.

p/s:: Don't ask me why i'm surprisingly calm at Chong Wei's loss... Usually i'll be highly disappointed with such performances.

Badminton @ Olympic Fever!



I shall not comment on any other Badminton players here.

.:: MAN OF THE MALAYSIAN OLYMPICS TEAM ::.

Lee Chong Wei... here with his gf and fellow Olympian, Mew Choo (who gave me multiple heart attack during her quarter-finals match against China's Lu Lan)

His road to finals

[Round of 32] Ronald Susilo (SIN) : 21-13, 21-14
[Round of 16] Kestutis Navickas (LTU) : 21-5, 21-7
[Quarter Finals] Sony Dwi Kuncoro (INA) : 21-9, 21-11
[Semi Finals] Lee Hyun Il (KOR) : 21-18, 13-21, 21-13

Pretty great record i'll say... Win in convincing straight games (minus the semi-finals which was a bit shocking in the second set 'coz he lost it quite tamely).

WE'RE ASSURED OF AT LEAST A SILVER MEDAL IN BADMINTON MEN'S SINGLES EVENT!! YAY!

Now everyone, start praying for his success and may he (and Malaysia) win the first ever GOLD in the Olympics!
