I would have thought we could get 1,2,3 gold silver and bronze during the last few km
But Gonzales of Mexico was also very strong She was leading the "peloton" about half the way until Liu Hong accelerated in the last 30 meters or so from the finishing line to overtake Gonzales
Yeah what a race High drama until the end
Our athlete from Tibet Qiyang Shijie came 5th in the race walk She will have a great chance of winning a medal 4 years later together with our silver medalist, Lu Xiuzhi and also for Liu to retain her title at 33 years old. Qiyang is 25 and Lu is 22 now
Congratulations to our Men and Women race walk teams
scoring 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze for China
And
Congratulations to our Men's Double Badminton, Fu and Zhang came from behind beating the Malaysian pair 2-1 for the Gold
and:
A silver and a bronze in Women's Boxing
Congrats
A reasonable harvest of medals today despite the heartbreaking loss of SuperDan to arch-rilval Lee Chongwei
Lin Dan played poorly in the second set which let Lee recover and rebuild his poise
Congrats Lee Chongwei for this match BUT definitely
Chen Long for GOLD in the Men's Single Final tomorrow
Go China
In the women's single semi-final yesterday, Li Xuerui suffered a bad injury Later reports said she is giving up the bronze medal match She needs a surgery for the ruptured cruciate ligament
Wish Xuerui a speedy recovery
