Chong Wei are just too nervous , too afraid of losing , look like his worst nightmare came to true again. I can't believe he lost this final in straight set. But to be fair , Chen Long play a world class badminton , he have nothing to lose , he hold his nerve and he deserved the gold glory.
I did not watch the game, but from the final score 21-18 21-18 it seems that the game was so tight. Maybe Chong was so tired because he need to play 3 sets against Lin Dan on Semi-Finals. It was hard match for him and he lost his stamina already. While on other hand, Chen Long went to Final easier against Axelsen.
Amazing tight match actually, it was fucking nervous in every set, ii support Lee, although he failed, he is still the champion in my heart.
Yes, this match was superb to watch, and I thought match might go the 3rd set play, but somehow Chen Long made use of Chong Wei nervous and managed to win the game in two straight sets. I expected match can go either way so didn't bet on this game but enjoyed the complete game.
