    relax man... you won't call a match ended in 17-21, 21-18, 22-20 something of "OWN"... it's more a luck matter for such razor-thin gap!!

    yesterday's match, Yihan - Saina 21-13, 21-13 that's what called as "OWN"

    No particular, just my feeling as CY/FHF have more fear to LYD/CJS than BoMo.......!!

    I really fell sad and sorry for the Korean pairs. They weren't in perfect shape. I actually shed tears when they lost. :( I lost my mood... and is not looking for tomorrow's men doubles final anymore.

    I think Koo-Tan will go home empty-handed for this olympics. Don't expect them to beat the Korean pairs.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The danish pair just isn't as entertaining to watch compared to Chn vs. Kor. Hope Cai / Fu get their gold this time. Felt so sorry for them in 2008...

    both mathias boe and fu haifeng are known to get nervous during close games. anything can happen. besides, boe and mogensen have defeated cai and fu many times. never in finals i think, but still it was a defeat. im rooting for China though tomorrow :p

    i still cant get over the fact that the Koreans LOST! :'( i sooo wanted to see China vs Korea in the final

    China remains on top of their game in badminton..

    Korea, they were just unlucky.

    Indonesia, i blame Kido/Setiawan.

    haha im indonesian and the 2008 MD final was strange because cai fu are my favorite pairs, but kido and setiawan are indonesian. and when they won, it was bitter sweet. my country won but my favorite players lost.

    and the indonesian government is full of idiots. theyre just not investing in the athletes. instead they use the money for themselves and not for the people and the culture. PBSI sucks now. the management needs to change

    On paper the stronger fancied favourite KOR pair were edged out by the ebullient Danish, this tells us in the Olympics it's not all about skills, you need some luck and the "spirit" to rise to the occasion. Live and let live.:)

    Vladimir Putin is a patron of badminton, wonder what he thinks if Russia bags this bronze.

    I hope he will change his mind on quitting before giving one last shot to 2013 world championship.


    As for tomorrows men's double final, its still anyone's guess. Can't tell for sure it will be China's win.

    Let's just say their final hurdle is made easier...Fu Haifeng doesnt have to smash too much but they need to use their wits to beat BoMo
