A very big thank you to those of you who had taken part in the poll. The results are as follows: 17 votes for Lee Chong Wei and 9 votes for Lin Dan. It is obvious that all Malaysians wanted Chong Wei to win the gold medal, and expressed their support by showing their faith and confidence in him.
This was supposed to be THE match of the tournament. Even though in the hearts of some of us, we know that Lin Dan is the better player and with him playing in his home ground, we knew the chances of Chong Wei winning the match were pretty slim. However, we had expected Chong Wei to put up a good fight. Sadly, this did not happen.
Chong Wei did not stand a chance against Lin Dan from the very beginning. From the onset, it was obvious from the gleam in Lin Dan's eyes that he was going to make mincemeat out of Chong Wei. I could almost see him thinking, "I'm going to cream you, Chong Wei." And creamed him, he did.
Sigh. What a disappointing night. It was an easy win for Lin Dan, and I feel deprived of a good game. I think I'd go watch a replay of the match between Chong Wei and Lee Hyun-il. That was far more exciting. Huh? On second thoughts, how can it be more exciting when I already know the results??!!! Hmmm................
