That was a brave effort from Li just now. She looked completely spent halfway through the second set, and I thought she was dead after giving away those two match points.

But she just kept hanging in there like a boss, refusing to make unforced errors and forcing Wang to play one more shot. And sure, she did get some gifts from Wang along the way, but to stay in and pull out that win took a lot of courage. I was already a fan after her semi win yesterday, even more so now.

The women's doubles match right now is the finals, right? Edit: I think so.

And yeah, that was a great match.

China playing pretty well~

While I love getting the free silver medal the Japanese Doubles Pair would have never gotten to the final under normal circumstances lol.

That team was lucky that when they threw their match, their opponents still wanted to win so it didn't seem too obvious.

Just want to post my frustration with not being able to find any badminton on TV around here (in the US). It says on channel 81 there will be some badminton on between 1am and 4am, I had better not be disappointed (its 2:36am here now). Being trying to catch some this entire Olympics but no luck.
