Dato' Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan..2012 Olympics

    This was the only Olympic competion that i didn't want to miss....the final badminton singles match between Dato Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan of China... i think my whole neighborhood was home at 8pm to catch the game judging from the shouts that emanated from around the other houses during that time

  ..undoubtedly the eyes of the whole nation was  glued to this game yesterday night....and why not too...Chong Wei ...that wonderful and humble Malaysian was up against China's Lin Dan....and everyMalaysian wanted him to win...of course we wanted him to win gold for the country ...
but also because Chong Wei, despite his ankle injury, was in great shape and deserved a win.

      it was a keenly fought game from the start ...the first set was won by Chong Wei with Lin Dan taking the second set...

 ...but ultimately Lin Dan won the match...when the score was 19 all... the entire stadium as well as all Malaysians whether in their living rooms or at outside screens must have been at the edge of their seats....then it was over with a score of 21 to 19..Lin Dan was ecstatic....

    ...while Chong Wei...well his body language said it all....and as it is with his character...he apologised to the nation for not winning gold...now isn't that typical of Chong Wei...

      ...Malaysia didn't win Gold....that IS a shame ...but to depend on only 1 person to be able earn a gold for a country of 28 million...whew!.. that is alot of stress for one person....but then we have DATO LEE CHONG WEI....he gave his best...just view the result....he never gave up...fought till the very end...what more can a country ask for...

   ...jolly good showing Dato',,,,,Malaysians are proud of your effort.

cheers!
