I wanted Tago to go far but didn't even make the last 16

[CLELY]

What a surprise by Niluka Karunaratne, the Srilankan player stuns Kenichi Tago, 21-18 / 21-16, wow!

[CantSmashThis]

Niluka sends Kenichi Tago packing his bags early this year.

[madbad]

OMG Firda, what's happening?? Down 5-11 in the rubber

[stumblingfeet]

Well, that is an unexpected result.

[repentedboy]

Kenichi Tago, you disappointed me. I am so upset right now.

Firda charging back 9-11

[repentedboy]

Road is made so much easier now for Lee Chong Wei.
His only blocker to the semifinal against Chen Long: Simon Santoso !

[Justin L]

Expect the unexpected,all the medal contenders and pretenders are feeling the heat,the moment they win their first game convincingly they start to feel anxious and lose their bearings. Worse are those who couldn't even get their act together from get-go.

More surprises to come going forward.

[madbad]

Firda has turned the table on the Belarussian. 13-12

[SibugiChai]

Pressure,,,Tago no handle

[madbad]

Zaitsava self destructing, and Firda seizing the opportunity. 16-12

[repentedboy]

That's the thing I hate about Badminton Olympics.

The tournament made the top players so nervous and they could lose to anybody even the crappiest players from an unknown country.

But after the Olympics is over. These crappy players who scored big surprises and upsets are no where to be heard and they didnt do well in the Super Series/Team events.

Olympics is not the best metric to judge how good the players are clearly.

Weeping for Tago now. T.T

Stay strong Tago. You will be the next Lin Dan !!!!

Firda looking for the finish line 19-12
