3 VS 0

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!

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

3rd singles:
Wang Yue Gu VS Dang Ye Seo

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!

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.
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!
