Wow, after watching for 5 and the half hours, watching the badminton event simultaneously with the rhythmic gymnastics, Malaysia grasped 8 medals in one day! Elaine Koon was fantastic with her apparatus and she won gold for hulla hoop beating Australia which was a surprise! She also won one silver and two more bronze in ball, rope and ribbon respectively.
Yesterday, she also won bronze after adding up all the marks for rope, hoop, ribbon and ball. Although Malaysia missed out on getting a medal on the team event as we didn't do too well. Elaine didn't make any significant mistakes and she was very elegant and flexible!
On the other hand, our badminton team performed very well. Only Wong Mew Choo lose out on the gold medal and obtained a silver after Indian player, Saina Nehwal who beat her in the team event beat her again in the individual event =(( Mew Choo lost in the rubber set- again!
However, our mixed doubles, men's singles and men's doubles all won in straight sets. Very well done to our Malaysian badminton team. So proud of them =)
Yes, I'm a sucker for badminton and gymnastics until I could stay up to 5 hours watching these events. I have been watching these two events everyday till midnight with my family. But today the finals events are earlier and not at night because the closing ceremony will be at 9.30pm. I guess I will be watching the closing ceremony too *laughs*
