2nd best – is just not significant enough

Just watched the Olympics finals of badminton men singles.
A fairly quick match that only lasted 39 mins!
And no doubt a broken dream for the Malaysians who hope to win the first Olympic gold (and me of course).

Lee lost 0-2 to China while a lot of us were hoping that he could at least achieve something like 1-2, at least losing only after an exhausting 2 hrs match.
At least that would make it look better right?

One headline says: “China’s Lin easily wins men’s gold”
This was definitely an easy game for him. Too easy.
It was supposed to be a match between champions.

These days, nobody recognizes the second best. All eyes are set on the gold medalists only.

So try harder next time!

Not our champion but a world champion nevertheless.
