Malaysia's Olympics Gold Medallist

This is my prediction!

I believe the whole nation would love to see this happens tonight. Yes, Malaysia's first Olympics gold medal in history will happen tonight! Or never for a long time to come. So, based on my own simple analysis, Lee Chong Wei will stand on the podium with gold medal. How?

Let's look at it this way....

1. The form book at the Olympics - Lee is on top of his game, Lin just maintains the way he plays. 1-1
2. The defense - both are equally good at the moment. Draw 2-2
3. The stroke - both are equal at the moment. Draw 3-3
4. The net play - Lee has played some very tight net shots that produced many winning points.
Lee 4-3
5. The smash - Lee has been deadly, firing from every angle so far. Lee 5-3
6. The error - except when Lee practically gave up the 2nd set to conserve enough energy for the 3rd in the semi-finals, Lee has kept it minimal, so does Lin. Draw 6-4
7. The all around skills put up at the Olympics - Lee has shown his best and is known to produce very tricky shots even under pressure. Lee 7-4
8. The on-court temperament - Lee is the coolest which is important to stay focussed. Lin is known all along to be hard-headed. Lee 8-4

So, do you agree? If you are following the development from day 1 at the Olympics, You would have noticed the 8 pointers in my analysis which favors Lee thus far. Not to be biased, it's anybody's game on court, at least to the neutrals.

Lastly, I play badminton in my hometown in Bukit Mertajam, the place also referred to as Lee Chong Wei Badminton Hall. His second brother is full of confidence whenever I talk to him - that LCW will triumph this time.

Wei To GOLD, Lee Chong Wei.

Unfortunately Chong Wei ended up with a silver medal. Our sportsmen just do not have the winning mentality.
