Singapore VS South Korea

1st singles:

Feng Tianwei VS Dang Ye Seo

11 - 5, 11 - 5,11 - 2

3 VS 0

WON!

Clear cut win by Feng Tianwei!

--------------------------------------------------

2nd singles:

Li Jia Wei VS Kim Kyung Ah

11 - 5,8 - 11,11 - 9,6 - 11,9 - 11

2 VS 3

Lost.

The korean girl was a really tough and fabulous defender! And like what the commentator said, she has an annoying technique there. Haha. Li Jia Wei was really superb to be able to hold off so long in this match! She merely missed by that slight difference.

As mentioned by the commentator as well, Kim Kyung Ah was the ultimate opponent of Li Jia Wei at Athens 4 years ago.

--------------------------------------------------

Doubles:

Wang Yue Gu/Li Jia Wei VS Park Mi Young/Kim Kyung Ah

11 - 7,11 - 6,11 - 9

3 VS 0

WON!



The combination between the Wang and Li was great and very exciting! Li Jia Wei was able to put the defeat in the previous match aside and concentrate on this one, so they put up a really beautiful performance!

--------------------------------------------------

4.37pm

Singapore currently standing at 2 match won!
One more match...


--------------------------------------------------

3rd singles:

Wang Yue Gu VS Dang Ye Seo

8 - 11,12 - 14,9 - 11

0 VS 3

Lost.

Wah, Dang improved from the 1st match she lost to Feng! Wang performed just as outstanding to catch up with the points that in one game they were at the 5th game point!

-----------------------------------

5.20pm
Had to have the last match to determine the winning team!

-----------------------------------

4th singles:

Feng Tianwei VS Park Mi Young

11 - 7, 12 - 10, 3 - 11,11 - 9

3 VS 1

WON!


SINGAPORE WON!
YAY!! PROCEEDS TO FINALS! WOOHOO!!

A really long and tough match! It started at 2.30pm and ended at 6.12pm!!
Very stunning performance by Feng Tianwei!! She's excellent in fast spinning shot! Only 21 years old, turning 22 at the end of the month, she has now a medal in her hands and that would be her greatest present ever! A potential sports star!

--------------------------------------------------

Wonderful wonderful match against Korea!
I can't help but kept "Yes!"-ing away during the match, and cheered for them! The feelings go up and down, up and down!
Especially during the last game, the points was so so very close and was such a nerve wrecking moment!
Watching it 'LIVE' is such an exciting experience!
The whole match just kept you on the edge!
And the supporters from Singapore at Beijing were always cheering
"Xin Jia Po, Jia You!" x3
Sweet.



YAY! Singapore! You GO!!
Feng Tianwei, Li Jia Wei & Wang Yue Gu!
Their expression was priceless. Touched.
You've done us proud!

--------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to the FINALS on Sunday!
We secured at least a SILVER medal, hoping for a GOLD!
It's our medal in 48 years since the last one was won in 1960!

Finals match
Singapore VS China
Sunday @ 7.30pm 'LIVE' on Channel U!


Feng Tianwei, JIA YOU!
冯天薇,加油!
Li Jia Wei, JIA YOU!
李佳薇,加油!
Wang Yue Gu, JIA YOU!
王越古,加油!
Xin Jia Po, JIA YOU, JIA YOU, JIA JIA YOU!
