    What a pity....the INA pair once again lost a 4pts lead as He Hanbin/Yu Yang claimed the bronze medal after a nervy ending yet again.

    Too bad, Vita Marissa didn't play well at the crucial moments, with so many lost pts. Flandy had to cover for him. Yu Yang was really the woman of the match!

    the INA pair is good, but just not good enough to beat the CHN pair.

    great effort from Flandy n Vita anyway...

    hopefully Lily n Nova can bring another gold to INA..

    ABSOLUTE CHEATS. Yu Yang has showed gamesmanship in every single one of her games, the way she puts her hand up EVERY time to interupt their opponents serve (sometimes even when the opponent weren't even ready to serve) it was plain disgraceful.
    The chinese team made advert reactions to every line call that went against them, even managed to changed a clear correct line call for indonesia to became a LET. Horrific game, display of shocking tactics from the chinese... THANK LORD chn didn't get a gold.............. Never been so incensed in watching any of the badminton matches...

    what a sad note to end game 3 with unforce errors and missed opportunity by Indonesia players. Exciting match to watch.

    a match that is tightly fought but at the same time full of unforced errors by both sides. nervousness and tense finger probably came into play. YY and Flandy stands out as the better player on their respective side.

    the match was also marred by a few disputed calls, some are correctly disputed but some are not. there are also a few dubious calls in there also.

    despite those however, it was still neck-to-neck for most of the match and very exciting! hope this is good previous of the excitement to come for the next two GOLD MEDAL matches!
