    the 3 ladies on the podium right now are definitely the best 3 WS of this Olympics, and in the right order as well.

    It is refreshing to see a MD final without a Korean pair. Korean double performance in this Olympic is dismal.

    I hope you are not Indian. If you are, I feel sorry that you think this way.

    Sindhu created history for India, achieving the highest medal award in Olympic badminton ever for India. And she did it at 21 years of age. This 21 year old Sindhu also dispatched the All England winner (Okuhara) on her way to the finals and Sindhu pushed the reigning world champion Carolina Marin to 3 sets, making a spectacular comeback in set 1. I don't know what more you expect of a 21 year old, especially a 21 year old that was not a favorite (note even a top 4 favorite) coming into this tournament.

    It's a typical technique to use against big players to force them to turn, cos they will tire out and be slow to turn back...

    Doesn't work if against players like CM who has a great backhand, or defense specialists like CL

    Marin was also surely tired. She was running at tremendous pace.
    Had Sindhu pushed a little harder, Marin might have cracked.

    First, you misunderstood kelana who is rooting for Sindhu to take gold and just couldn't help feeling disappointed she didn't; he didn't mean it in a critical sense.

    Second, why do you have to be so provocative in attacking CHN fans in general with that kind of snide remarks ? I noticed some of your arguments and debates are full of name calling. What for ?

    Do not forget about Chen Long. He looks quite strong in this Olympics and he even won against LCW in WC 2015 last year.

    If Mas can snatch at least 1 gold (MS or MD), they are the best Badminton Countries in this Olympic! What a history.

    Sindhu showed such grace and sportsmanship in defeat (in a hard-fought match/tournament).
    Great to see such a nice role-model. Respect!!!!!:):)

    It's exhilarating to see such a strength in depth in the WS competition!!!

    LOL, never realized how "dull" the CHN celebrations were when it just a big patch of red-- the Indian and Spanish flags are so colorful, just like their fans... even though their cosplay is too tame compared to the JPN, THA and INA fans.

    A truly colourful and lovely ceremony!!!
