Silver it is

The hopes of an entire nation was on his frail shoulders, sadly Chong Wei was overrawed by the momentous occasion and went down tamely to the world number 1 Lin Dan. Though it may be easy to pin the blame on him for an abysmal performance, we should also blame ourselves for the over dependence on 1 man for gold. Had there been other who were challenging for medals perhaps the pressure wouldnt be so great. But well this is Malaysia searching for a good athelete is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.

But anyway a silver is better than most could hope for and I would like to congratulate Mr. Lee for making the entire country proud and for a few days united all Malaysians to support our charge for a 1st gold medal. so there is nothing much to feel disappointed about, our search for the elusive gold continues but maybe the anticipation itself is well worth it.
