    There always pressure in big event especially in the Final. Lin Dan fumbled so many times(Olympic 2004, World Champioship 2005) so was Li Chong Wei(World Champioships, All England, Asian Games) but I think these 2 players have mature since.
    I expect to see dog fight but lets hope the match is clean.

    So far, INA never wins XD gold...last time, also Minarti Timur/Trikus won silver after losing to ZJ/Gao Ling...........INA was top seed as well.........It seems it is a curse being Top seed in OG except INA MD escaped that curse........sigh!
