SiLvEr BuT a GoLd

as i mentioned earlier in the post about Beijing Olympics, i was looking forward to see how MaLaySiA can go in the olympics especially in badminton, and today was the FINAL or some ppl said it as GOLD MEDAL match. the final match was between Lin Dan from China & our national top player, Lee Chong Wei. i knew Lin Dan was the #1 player in the world but was unfamiliar with him since didnt really watch any of the matchs, and i thought Chong Wei might stand a chance against him since he played so well in the semi-final match will lee hyunil from Korea. every1 was so eager and hopeful for the final match and keep praying for Chong Wei to bring the 1st gold medal for M'sia. then on tonight itself, we can see luck and the environment really not by his side. first of all his stamina, physically fit & speed really far behind from Lin Dan then it is the pressure especially from the audiences since most of them are there to support Lin Dan instead of him!!!....for sure he had the pressure to perform well since everytime he get a point the audience seem unhappy about it. not forgetting by the ranking in the world itself gave him the pressure as he is only the #2 in the world. tat really makes a BIG difference. Well guess i don have to elaborate more, it is obvious tat m'sia first gold medal just fly off and only able to achieved silver instead just like any other previos records. anyway still it is a very good effort of him to made into the final. still, congrats!!!, to him for bringing back a medal to our country. guess m'sia really need to work harder to move towards the gold medal in such a world standard sports.


The 3 Winners; Chong Wei [SiLvEr], Lin Dan [GoLd] & Chen Jin [BrOnZe]
