I'm very happy for VA. And so nice to see that the Bronze means so much to him. He is still young. I think he has potential to really challenge for the top spot. Just need to sharpen the mental side of his game. He played very well today against LD. His movement and defence has improved tremendously imho. Waiting for him to win his first title now. Hopefully winning Thomas Cup and this Bronze will propel him even higher!
Axelsen is building up his confidence day by day. I won't be surprised to see him in the final at tokyo 2020.
I wonder will LCW try again for another gold medal Indeed yesterday match is taking a toll on both LD and LCW. If only they have extra day rest after the semi final Congrats CL Lee curse is too strong
short question to bronzemedal match.. I didnt notice shake hands between axelsen and lin dan. did I miss it or didnt they?
Olympics seems not possible. Maybe next year WC I want to see Lin Dan Chen Long and LCW on podium but even that is not realized today
This aspect I agree, more shot variation,a wider repertoire and, I'd add, a little more deception and better anticipation which comes from reading the opponent's game well which is developed from experience and intelligence.
why runner-up is least happy on the podium. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jul/16/silver-medal-worst-of-all-olympians-happiness
Man even when the Oly is over, the beating to LCW never ends from the fans. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
sad for the Malaysian, 3 finalists yet all lost. the double one especially cruel to lost by such a small margin.
for Tokyo 2020, it's gonna be a show down between Axelsen, Momota, Kidambi, and Chen Long if he's still around. For women, there are too many names to list. LOL
