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! :)

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!

yeah, but he wont have had eu rackets for ages. international (IP is it?) probably come with g5 since pros tend to have thin grips... all speculation on my part though.

Hi Guys, arrived at my home yesterday following a few days in the Olympic Village, from where I took in whatever I could from this very special olympic spirit..one last time..a lot of thoughts and feelings has been going through my mind since my game on thursday against Chen Long..my body and mind is exhausted right now and I need time and space to put all this in perspective.. Even though I entered yesterdays flight to Copenhagen without a medal around my neck, the past two weeks has been great for me in many ways...Badminton Denmark and all the fans supporting us, can look back on a great olympic tournament with a silver and a bronce medal!, on top of other great performances...For me now, the next 5 months is all about getting used to leave this game I love so much and have been a part of for all my life..thats not an easy thing to do for me...but I'll start trying.. and there's no better place on earth to start, than in my families summerhouse in the northern part of jutland together with my girls...Take care, and I'll be back before Japan Open...

Excerpt:

The great Danish star got standing ovations after his last match in Odense
The first match was also the last match for Peter Gade at this year’s Yonex Denmark Open. Indian Sourabh Varma won the match 21-18, 21-14. Afterwards a disappointed Peter Gade told, it was just one of those days when things do not really go your way. In the first set he got down 0-5, but came back in the set, however, he lost it 18-21. The second set was close at first, but the Indian got away and won 21-14.
