Just aint good enough

As i waited on my couch. Waiting to see what i hoped would have been a rare win by our own Lee Chong Wei. After his dominating match against Taufik Hidayat in the semi-finals, i thougt this was his chance. I had a feeling inside my gut that this was the time where Lee Chong Wei beats Lin Dan. As the players step on court i remembred a conversation i had with my parents in the morning about how confidence plays a role in Lin Dan's winning streak. For some reason Chong Wei didn't have that shall i say ''arrogant'' look on his face. I believe every good sports person needs to have an arrogant being inside to keep the mood feisty and hungry for sucess. The confidence that drives so many sporting figures today such as Usain Bolt and Lin Dan himself. The courage to say ''Yes, i am the best. I AM number 1.'' For some reason i don't see that in Chong Wei.

None the less, i still stood by the fact that i have a feeling Chong Wei could win this. As he starred down the paramount figure of Lin Dan, i could tell both players a extremely nervous. The crowd was fantastic as Malaysian and Chinese fans traded shouts and cheers of support. But to the reality of current badminton, Lin Dan won in a close match 21-19 21-12. Lin Dan supreme speed and agility could not be matched by the Malaysian and that was how it ended. All England 2009 men singles goes to Lin Dan.
