Victory In China

Victories In China 14th and 15th Nov 2015 are days for avid badminton fans the world over to remember, Somewhere over there in Fuchou, who cares where exactly that is there in China. All that matters to die hard fans of this intricate game of rackets and feathered shuttlecocks. Is how their player, does he fall or does he win to begin his reign as the King of the Rock. Malaysian fans are no exceptions, they readily toss aside racial and religious inhibitions. When their badminton stars persevere throughout any world class badminton action. The most illustrious shining star in the annals of Malaysian badminton, past and present. Possibly the future, is one quietly unassuming player whose every success fire up our nation. His name is on the lips of every badminton player, young and old, abled and even the disabled. Royalties and political dignitaries and leaders, they all identify with his every success or stumble. In a country of 28 millions, he’s a diamond in the rough that was patiently polished to last. Since 2003 he has build up a list of career achievements peppered with numerous firsts. He is a supreme machine of badminton excellence in this modern day of sporting gladiators. A simple Wikipedia checkup will stagger you with his incredible achievements and successes. With such a background of accomplishments, die hard fans would surely be able to readily recant. How this supreme badminton ace, once topped in ranking, has periodically failed time and again. 14th Nov 2015 is the day to remember, for in the badminton backyard there in Fuchou, China. Malaysia favorite son in badminton put to rest all the swirling rumours of him being a choker. In a 92 minutes game of the highest quality, hard, speedy and opportunistic smashes were aplenty. All absorbed, parried with deft touches and inpregnable defensive play from both the players. This hard fought victory at a passing glance is just but another of their titanic physical battle, But as any true blue blooded badminton friends will tell, this is the Waterloo of a mental battle All hail Dato Lee Chong Wei, who slayed his inner demons over there in the Super Series in China. When first he defeated his nemesis in Lin Dan, then in Chen Loong, both from China Now the Great One has completed his collection of Super Series Gold Medals. Now at the ripe old age of 32, he's game and still good for many more medals. http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2015/11/15/Chong-Wei-wins-China-Open/
