    she pumped her fist, then knelt on the floor, with hands covering her face, and teared. then she stood up, shook the hands of the umpire etc, then thanked the audience, bowing deeply for them several times.

    Wow, Zhang Ning is really fantastic, not only possesses great skill but also determination. I thought she would slow down on game 3 but she kept on going and continued to make those wonderful retrieves and returns. Xie also played her best but today belongs to Zhang Ning. 2 Olympics golds in consecutive Olympics, most probably will go down as one of the greatest WS players. Bravo Zhang Ning, you're truly BOLEH!

    Congrats for Zhang Ning. After win easily 13-7 or so and XXF chase her to 16 all, I thought she will again be a runner up and XXF will win. But this time she reslly dig deep and produced some great shoot to closed the third set 21-17.She deserved to win.
