    15-15 and suddenly LD takes it. Axelsen too many errors.

    Surprise, Lin Dan actually dives for the smash. I thought he would leave it with 5 GP advantage.

    Good to see LD taking this match seriously though it's only for a bronze medal. With China underperforming so badly this time around, a bronze is a good consolation prize.

    Looks good for lin Dan to take the bronze.
    I'm quite disappointed with viktor so far for his semi final and bronze match!!
    I thought he would play more freely and at least push his opponents to the limit.

    I think what we saw here in Rio is that there is still a quite big gap between the legends, top 3 and the rest!

    let's see a barage of offensive from VA in 2nd game. now or never if he wants to land on the podium.

    It was a full dive, he would have got it over if the smash didn't go wide.

    I don't know why everybody plays this patient and slow pace game against LD, when it's clearly evident that fast and aggressive play works best.
