The Almost Victorious

U2 - One Step Closer

Almost every Malaysian glued their asses on the couch at exactly 9.00pm last night.
Malaysia came close to grabbing the first Olympic gold...

But yet, it was so far from grasp.

Super-egoistic Lin Dan
Wouldn't mind his victory if he wasn't so cocky...

Lin Dan from China easily trashed Lee Chong Wei 21-12, 21-8
Lee C W could have given a good fight...
He has defeated Lin Dan before and he's capable of doing it again.
But given the pressure from all the China fans chanting "Lin Dan,
jia you!"
and the pressure of winning the FIRST and ONLY gold medal for homeland Malaysia...

It was clear that even as a professional player...
Lee Chong Wei failed to handle the pressure.

To top it all up, Lin Dan was in his TOP form defeating all his opponent with straight sets.

The chance of Lee C W to winning gold would have been a Merdeka Miracle.

Lee Chong Wei (M'sia), Lin Dan (China), Chen Jin (China)

Nevertheless, I think I speak for everyone, to say that we are truly proud of Lee Chong Wei for bringing Malaysia so far.

Well, it better be true.
I don't think we should be disappointed that he lost.
Maybe a lil' because he could have done better.

But it was impossible for him to defeat Lin Dan at his home ground with all that pressure...

Korean Lee Hyun-il who needs a proper haircut xD

China's Chen Jin won the bronze medal after defeating one of my favorites, Lee Hyun-il :(

My other favorite, Peter Gade from Denmark, also defeated by Lin Dan.

My dad, the badminton fanatic, was obviously the most disappointed among us xD
He was rooting on Lee C W to make history.
Sigh...
Oh well, "go Malaysia!"
Well, this is one of the VERY RARE occasions when I would be so proud of supporting Malaysia xD
