Lee Chong Wei is going to guarantee Malaysia at least a silver in the Olympics when he beat Lee Hyun-Il this morning to advance to the men’s singles finals. No points for guessing correctly who his opponent will be on Sunday.
Lin Dan is looking pretty strong and I can imagine the psychological impact of playing a chinese on their turf in one of the biggest event to hit the nation. Not so tangentially – Lee did beat Lin a Thomas Cup match, so he isn’t unassailable; but the chinese crowd… i mean, if you think the “USA! USA! USA!” thing is maddening try listening to a group of chinese rock the gymnasium with “JIA YOU!” *clapclapclap* “åŠ æ²¹!” *clapclapclap* “JIA YOU!”.
Ahhhhhh!!!!
Those of you who can’t get the match on tv, make sure you tune in online at NBCOlympics.com where it’ll definitely be streamed. Let’s give Lee Chong Wei the support he deserves.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
