Countless unforced error by the Thai pair in the 1st set Perhaps the reputation of this OG GOLD medallist was too much for them
another wide return by Songphon...KOR ahead 4-2..Man, someone just blocked off the score, but now it's off...KOR ahead 6-3..THA still trying to get their game on track... More "Daehan minguk, Daehan minguk" chants..
the unforced errors are piling up for the THAs...KOR ahead 10-5...attack by Yong Dae to Kunchala's body makes it 11-5 for the KOR at the break...THA coach directing his charges. Lee Dong Soo telling the same...
Lee Dong Soo looking as stoic as a veteran coach...The shuttles are just not going the THA pair, either going long or falling short of the net... Songphon needs to attack LHJ...or else Yong Dae will punish the shuttle..KOR ahead 15-5 and can smell that new prize cheque..
It's over, KORs taking no prisoners, pounding the shuttles like there's no tomorrow..KOR ahead 19-5..LHJ made a boo-boo, KOR 19-6...back to back boo-boo by LYD make that 20-7..And it's over, KORs win it in about 25 minutes...And off LYD and LHJ go to rest and prepare for their next matches...Wow, total points by the THA in both games only tallied up to 15 pts.. 1 down for the KORs, 2 more matches to go for the trifecta..
Is George watching??...There are some good looking prize presentation gals....oh wait, he's into Nippon gals.. And there go the 2 mascots representing LYD and LHJ...Dr. Kang with the medal and prize presentation..Kunchala all smiles, Songphon looking cool..Paisan with the flower presentation...Both Kunchala and Songphon smile....LHJ & LYD raised & waved their arms as the crowd cheered them on....All smiles..
Datuk LCW and Peter Gade are up next....Where are all our M'sian supporters? Noridayu?? Watching on Astro mah??..
LCW looking serious...Gade looking a bit relaxed... Oh, they're having a fan hitting some shots with Gade..Gade is now lobbying shuttles into the crowd...
