Still Aug19, woohoo!~ what a terrific match! China Vs Netherlands in the Badminton Finals at the Athens Olypmpics! exciting and breath-taking, it was really a great match to watch. this was especially so when Gary came over plus the rest of us at home, as we cheered for opposing teams! Annie and Jack were for the Chinese; Gary and i were enthusiastically supporting the Netherlands. i was an ardent supporter for the Netherlands, because the player's an Indo and they are famous for their badminton! and yes, she did her country proud by outplaying the Chinese by 5points in the first round. however, the match wasn't over!! the Chinese won the next round. and in the decisive final round...oh man!! i could feel my heart beat going faster as the match drew closer to the end. while we thought it was through for the Netherlands, things changed a little. the score maintains as Chinese 10: Netherlands 5. After scoring one extra point (from 5 to 6), the Netherlands eventually lost to the Chinese in the final swift of the Zhang's badminton racket. my heart sank. i thought the Netherlands will win!~ *sucha disappointment!!* and yep, the fact is, the Chinese emerged as the Champion of the Olympics Games in Badminton. i'd say it's been the best Badminton match i've watched so far! maginificent!!~
