Chong Wei Trips

It was a sad end to Malaysia’s hope of bagging the first Olympics gold medal when our men singles player Lee Chong Wei tripped on the final hurdle. Lee Chong Wei the world No 2 was brought down by the world No 1 21-12 , 21-8 with ease to bag the gold medal for China.

I was very disappointed with the game because frankly Chong Wei didnt show up. He was playing was playing way below par and gave his opponent a easy ride to the top of the winners steps.

I’m curious, why on earth is Chong Wei wearing a chain, multiple rings on his fingers and a watch?? He just lost RM 500,000 and our a a priceless gold medal. Singapore might win more than us this time around now!

Lee Chong Wei Wins Malaysian Open

Lee Chong Wei has done it!! The singles ace has bagged the Malaysian open at Bukit Jalil Stadium.he top seeded Chong Wei came through unscathed despite immense pressure to beat South Korean Lee Hyun-il, who is the protege of the Malaysian’s former coach, Li Mao, 21-15, 11-21, 21-17 in a 62-minute final. And after the victory, Li Mao gave him a hug and a pat on the back for his winning performance. 

If only our doubles pairs performed slightly better, we be celebrating a double whammy at home soil.Well done Chong Wei and hopefully he has a superb 2008 and eventually clinches the world no 1 spot and makes it his own!!

Tip for Chong Wei - Speak to Nicol, she seems pretty good at becoming world no 1 and staying there
