Got to hand it to them, after a dreadful start, they came back very well to take the gold.

Any other badminton players here? What standard?

And no pi55-taking about tutus and shuttlecocks from the uninformed please..!

I didn't think they played well at all, just that the Malaysians collapsed after playing so well in the first game. I think their 'aura' and a bit of determination got them through.

Oh, and how come the BBC showed all of the finals live APART from the Archer/Goode mixed?

At least that's the end of that dreadful Best-of-5 to 7 experiment - the games/matches are just too short. I normally go 7-0 down before starting to play anyway!!
