Malaysia's Olympics Gold Medal.

...down the drain. *sighs*
Blame him not though. Blame it all on the pressure that Malaysia has put on him.
Can you imagine a man having to carry the hope of a whole 25 million population of Malaysia?
Can you imagine a man having to fight with the world's best with all that pressure on both shoulders?
Brrr.. If it was me, I would have collapsed even before the match even started. Haha. Thus, compare me not.

But then again, the match was a very disappointing one at many points.
I did expect to see a tough competition from Lee Chong Wei though, giving Lin Dan a hard time to take on the winning match. But by the second set, when Malaysia was losing by 11-1, I knew the game was going to be a real frustrating one for all Malaysians. As a matter of fact, it was quite embarrassing.
Was skill at stake then?

Disappointingly, I believe luck wasn't quite on Malaysia's side tonight.
Every net-ball hit was unable to go past the net. Or when it did actually went over the net, it is always successfully counteracted by China.
Everytime Lee Chong Wei smacks the shuttlecock, my heart skips a beat.
Purely due to the fact that every smack he made, Lin Dan could just easily hit back [without making much movement], leading Lee CW running around the court like a lost chicken. Alright, so the term 'lost chicken' was wrongly used. Haha. Pardon me. =p
But seriously, don't you agree that Lin Dan seemed so comfortable and didn't quite use much effort to defeat Lee CW tonight? *sighs*

I bet the whole of Malaysia can seriously see the amount of stress and pressure Lee CW had straight on his face. Seeing his performance tonight had clearly shown us how he suffered. *sulks* So sad. I believe he would have played much better had he not kept thinking of the RM1million he would be receiving had he gotten the Gold medal. Haha. [For those blur enough, it was meant to be a joke. =.=]

So, I guess that marks the end of Olympics 2008 for Malaysia. Though we may not have had gotten a Gold, we can always make do with the Silver medal. Ahakz.
Seriously, it's better than nothing. Right? *winks*
At last, something to be proud of [despite the quite-embarrassing lost].

Malaysia Boleh! Ahakz~
