Bravo, Chong Wei, Bravo

Exactly a week ago I was watching live telecast of All England Badminton final between Chong Wei and Lin Dan and ended up disappointed with the failure of Chong Wei to exert a revenge on Lin Dan. But, bravo Chong Wei, he has reverted a second best to be the best, living up to the expectation as the world number one, tamely defeated Lin Dan in the final of Swiss Open. Well done, a brilliant game indeed. He was full of confident, determination and most importantly, the never-say-die spirit.

I am a fan of Chong Wei, wherever he plays, I will watch and support him wholeheartedly in front on my TV, but too often than not, ended up with disappointments especially when he played against the mighty Lin Dan. The most heart breaking encounter being the 2008 Olympic final. Tonight, at least I enjoyed the thrill of watching a highly competitive match where both players exchanged long rallies as both were equally determined to outdo the other. A win on Lin Dan is not easy to come by, especially on foreign soils. Keep it up Chong Wei, if your mind is as firm as a rock, you can only get better and better, then Lin Dan would not be a hurdle anymore.
