Not sure, but I watched the movie in a Singapore cinema recently. Quite inspiring!

Surprised to note that LCW's relationship with WMC started when they were training under Misbun, who treated LCW like his son and he had high hopes for LCW as well.

However Misbun was rather strict with LCW and kept him at home instead of sending him to compete in the AE when LCW complained about his knee pain. I think that was the year that LCW's fellow trainee, Hafiz Hashim won the AE in 2003.

Yup that was the pivotal moment that made LCW realised that all his hard work thus far would be wasted if he didnt have the right attitude towards his training. It was one of the defining moments of his life as recorded in his autobiography when he told Misbun he was thinking of not going to the AE which made Misbun very angry and ban him from going to a few tournaments that year. Of course the raining scene in which he ran towards the Bus carrying the team to England leaving him in the rain were shot to add dramatic effect. I am sure it did not happen that way.

For all my criticism about him using up resources and diverting attention from the other players despite his age, I have to give credit where it's due despite not changing my stance.

Congratulations to Lee Chong Wei for Gold in the Commonwealth Games!

To be honest, after the first game I thought he might be done, but he still showed that he has the stamina to last 3 games and upset the World No. 1.
 
Congratss LCW, old but still gold :D
And to beat latest No.1 SK pack with youthful energy, it's not an easy task.

What a moment to bow out from commonwealth game. You're legend, and always be!

GOLD COAST (Australia) - Malaysian badminton legend Lee Chong Wei captured his third Commonwealth Games men's singles gold on Sunday (April 15) with a stunning win over world No. 1 Srikanth Kidambi.

The 35-year-old veteran beat the Indian, who is 10 years his junior, 19-21, 21-14, 21-14 at the Carrara Sports Hall.

The win proved sweet for Lee, the three-time Olympic silver medallist, who had won their previous four encounters before falling to Srikanth in the singles match of the mixed team final on Monday. India went on to win 3-1 and claim the gold.

Lee said: "This is one of my most memorable achievements because this will be my last Commonwealth Games.

"I know how important this gold medal is for Malaysia. I won this for the whole Malaysian badminton team."

On his match against Kidambi in the team event, he added: "I lost to him in the mixed team event and I wanted to come back in the individual event. It's not easy mentally.

"In one week, I played him two times in finals. The first time I lost and the second time is the final in the individual. I think mentally I was very, very strong.

"I just came out and I forgot the team event and just focused."

On the 10-year age difference between the two of them, he said: "It's only a number, right. I just forget my age."

Lee won the Commonwealth singles title in 2006 and 2010 but skipped the 2014 Glasgow Games. He has said this will be his final Commonwealth Games and he will not compete at the 2022 Birmingham edition.

Srikanth had replaced the injured Viktor Axelsen at the top of the men's singles world rankings on Thursday.

He joins an exclusive club of Indian shuttlers to sit at the summit of the sport - Saina Nehwal became the women's singles world No. 1 in 2015, while Prakash Padukone was considered the world No. 1 when he won three top tournaments in 1980, before the current computerised ranking system.

In the women's singles final, which was an all-Indian affair between Saina and P.V. Sindhu, the former triumphed 21-18, 23-21.

It was Saina's second Commonwealth Games singles title after her victory at the 2010 Games in New Delhi.

That video by Astro Arena channel should be tried using Malaysia country setting when you use proxy/VPN addons/apps.

You may try to use this BBC videos (use UK country setting in your addons, it's easier to find UK VPN/proxy than Malaysia VPN/Proxy for people living outside Malaysia I think).

GOLD COAST, Australia: Malaysian badminton great Lee Chong Wei said he hopes to wring one more Olympics from his creaking body after signing off from the Commonwealth Games with a third singles gold on Sunday (Apr 15)
.
The 35-year-old roared back from behind to beat India's new world number one Kidambi Srikanth - a decade his junior - 19-21, 21-14, 21-14, after Saina Nehwal saw off fellow Indian P.V. Sindhu in the women's final.
Lee, approaching the end of one of badminton's great careers, remains without an Olympic gold, but he said he hoped to have one more shot at Tokyo 2020.

He said he will not be back at another Commonwealths, and when asked by AFP if he would go for gold in 2020, Lee replied: "I don't know, year to year I will play first because now I'm very scared of injuries.

"After this year finishes I will see in the second year and if I can keep fit, I will play in Tokyo 2020.
"If not, I think I will stop."


An overcome Lee collapsed on his back with his hands over his face as he made it a Commonwealth hat-trick to add to a trophy haul that also includes three Olympic silvers.

But he predicted a bright future for Srikanth, who only reached the top ranking on Thursday and beat Lee in the mixed-team final to seal gold for India.

Srikanth went some way to justifying his lofty ranking as he raced ahead 21-19 in the first game of the final on Australia's Gold Coast.

Lee, currently ranked seventh in the world, stormed back in the second to take it 21-14, then stepped up another gear to clinch the decider by the same emphatic score.

In the tense, all-Indian women's final, Delhi 2010 winner Nehwal grabbed her second gold against the younger and higher-ranked Sindhu, the Rio 2016 silver medallist.

Nehwal, 28, a poster girl of Indian sport, saw off her rival 21-18, 23-21 and said the gold was up there with her London 2012 Olympic bronze and her number one world ranking in 2015.

"It was a very pressurised tournament, a lot of top competition from the Malaysians, it was a very challenging tournament," said Nehwal, who had heavy strapping on her right shin and revealed afterwards she had been playing through pain throughout the competition.

"Much more tough (than 2010) because the pressure is always there when you already have gold, so there is a lot more expectation.

"It's a very emotional moment because I've been waiting for one good, big victory after that disappointing (second-round) loss at Rio where I had to retire because of my injury and had to go through surgery."
