Peter Gade, surprised he beat SWH in straight sets! Gives me confidence that he can beat CL. Go PG!!!
If PG beat CL, he may have a chance to win bronze against CJ. Just hope that CJ vs LD's match is according to form book.
If he beats CL, I will be torn because I really want to see a LCW vs LD, but I really want PG to win the gold. If CL and CJ reach the final, I will watch tennis!!!
I'm thinking CJ practices with LD so much, that LYI will feel like playing a milder version of LD since they are both lefties. But now I hope LYI wins because badminton has had enough controversy already, I can already predict what people will say if CJ and LD meet in the SF!
Good job Peter, I know you gave it your all. In my opinion you are one of the greatest players and certain have been a great ambassadar of the game for so many years. Salute!
posted 45 minutes ago by PG on his FB account.... Hey Guys, just back at my hotel room following my final and last match at the Olympic Games. I lost to Chen Long from China 16-21 13-21. Well, actually I played some of my best badminton for a long time and really tried to get the edge of Chen Long.. but he's a really strong and disciplined player and he didn't give much away... Wow.. now its over at this level however I feel good about the fact... that I have a few more tournaments to say goodbye. Yes.. off course I feel disappointed that I couldn't get a medal but my opponent was better than me today and I gave everything I had in this tournament. I really enjoyed these Olympic Games. I enjoyed every minute of my games, and it's been such a pleasure to be part of the danish olympic team. I will stay in London for the next couple of days. supporting my teammates in the mixed doubles and mens doubles, who are still in for the medals.. and secondly, I need some great food and wine with my friends Thank you all once again for fantastic support here and everywhere else.. I'm so grateful, guys. Thanks! Thank you, Peter!
