    Malaysia hero Lee Chong Wei takes revenge over his defeat in team event here, beat Kidambi Srikanth 19-21 / 21-14 / 21-14. Third gold medal in CWG arena as he also claimed top position in 2006 & 2010.

    LCW,Lin Dan,Saina Nehwa,Srikant,Victor Axelson,Chen Long,Nozomi,Yamaguchi,Sindhu,Marin,Tai tzu,wan ho etc

    all these players are jst some of the history makers and tough opponents.

    Finally LCW grabbed a gold medal after so many silvers in Olympics. Hopefully, he can get one more in Asian Games this coming August.

    This is his third gold medal at CWG's individual event after his previous 2 gold medals in 2006 and 2010.

    In 2006 and 2010 edition, LCW got a complete package with team event gold medal.

    Lee Chong Wei vs Kidambi Srikanth match is scheduled again next week as both players are expected to meet at QF Badminton Asia Championships.

    Indian WD was on wrong half of the draw...

    This is most lop-sided final we'll see today.

    This time Prannoy and the other IND MS must remember to apply CHN's "N vs 1" strategy which helped LD to defeat LCW in the last decade -- but their target should be Shi Yuqi....

    Congratss LCW, old but still gold :D
    And to beat latest No.1 SK pack with youthful energy, it's not an easy task.

    What a moment to bow out from commonwealth game. You're legend, and always be!

    Experience, composure and making every shot count, with a dose of daring! :)
    A lucky day for LCW who was in good form.

    I wasn't expecting any gold from Chirag and satvik but atleast I thouhth they will put up a good fight, at the moment they are fizzling out. Highly disappointed.
