MEN'S SINGLES Lee Hyun Il beat Shon Seung Mo -Lee Hyun Il was on fire at first, but then Shon Seung Mo caught up. first game score was 13-3 to Lee, then became 15-13. i forgot the second game score sry WOMEN'S SINGLES Tracey Hallam beat Seo Yoon Hee -Seo Yoon Hee should've won that.. she was up 7-2 in the first game, then lost 11-9 that game. forgot the second game too wasnt that exciting MEN'S DOUBLES Tony Gunawan/Halim Heryanto beat Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen -TONY WAS SIMPLY ON FIRE TODAY!! hes unstoppable!! WOMEN'S DOUBLES Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing beat Kate Wilson-Smith/Kellie Lucas - a good match. There was one REALLY good rally, where the Australians kept smashing, but just couldnt penetrate the taiwanese defence! then taiwanese had a chance to attack, and finished it. Kate Wilson-Smith got soo pissed that she slammed her racket against the barrier on the side, she recieved a yellow card for that. MIXED DOUBLES Tony Gunawan/Cheng Wen-Hsing beat Devin Lahardi/Vita Marissa -Tony was simply on fire. Cheng played a really good game. 15-13, 15-5. both Tony and Cheng got 2 golds this tournament!! YAY a good victory for taiwan! 2 golds for taiwan!
overall, this entire tournament was a blast! even though both my coaches lost one in semis, one in quarters. however, this is the first time i've actually gone to an international tournament in person! its a lot better to watch it there than on tv! tony is just simply amazing. i'd so rather be him than any other badminton player. not even taufik or lin dan! a great day for the taiwanese (me) too!
i also have some pictures, but not a lot. i have a lot of gunawan and like 2 of the danish pair. ill post it sometime later.. haha. not enuf time right now
Technically, both Team USA and Taiwan got 1.5 gold each. Meanwhile, both Team Korea and England came home with 1 title apiece.
