    The Danes attack in desperation at 19-all and tire themselves whereas the JPN timed their attacks and counterattacks better.

    Very unfortunate for the danes considering they had it in their grasp but just fell short.

    You can't say they don't deserve it.
    Really happy they managed to win!

    Luckily, the JPN have got a solid defense or they would have lost instead.

    True Olympics champions - with nerves of steel, self-belief, and courage, Matsutomo and Takahashi have finally done it. Congrats!

    Wow, this whole match hinged on Matsumoto's performance after she "cracked" in the 1st game-- glad she "came back" in the 2nd and 3rd game enough to give us some WORLD CLASS WD badminton!!!

    Matsutomo gave me the best autograph ever at the All England this year. So happy they won (although I like Christina too!).

    Misaki really pulled herself together in the end after several awful high serves and net mistakes. They showed incredible defense skills in the end!
