Lost The Race But Won The Sportsmanship

Lin Dan won the gold medal in Olympic badminton men single by beating Malaysia national top player 21-12, 21-8 easily. However, if you watched the semi final match between Lin Dan vs Chen Jin, both from Republic of China, then you could see a huge different. They did not perform usually but more than pretending to play in a game. I would not be surprise to see world No.1 to walkover from the match when a baton was there to instruct them playing accordingly and correspondingly. Winner of the match was earlier decided by their coach i believe, and might well to reserve energy for the winner. Good strategies and tactics used but they made the audience disappointed to pay for a dull game.

Even though Lee Chong Wei lost clumsily, but he proudly won the sportsmanship. Before the final match, he was already a true champion in my bottom of heart. Result does not bring anything meaning if someone failed to understand, appreicate and pratice good values. In addition, the spirit exhibited is the most symbolic and idicative sign of a true winner.

I am extremely happy and delighted to see whole nation were gathering in mamak stall or in front of the TV and togather we shouted oursupport to Malaysia player for making his apperance in international stage. Well done, and Congratulation for contributing a sliver medal to Malaysia. Despite he had his one million ringgit incentive flying away, but he was awarded with good name.

Cheers,
