Thomas Cup in Kuala Lumpur on 16th May 2010

The above short video clip was taken by me during Thomas Cup on 16 May 2010 in Kuala Lumpur. We were late. And by the time we arrive half an hour later, we heard that the match between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan had ended with the victor being Lin Dan. The ex-number one badminton player, Lee Chong Wei had beaten Lin Dan, one of the best badminton players in the world, a few times, but very rare compared to the number of times Lin Dan had beaten Lee Chong Wei. Well, we missed the highlight of the show in the first round match between the world's 2 top best badminton players.

Due to nose cancer, Lee Chong Wei had no choice but to resign, because health is more important than wealth. Nicol David wisely resigned after peaking at the top of her career, being the world number 1 in squash for 12 long years, If I am not wrong, and for being the longest holder of the title of being Number 1 in Women's Squash with an unbeaten track record.

With the pressure to excel and win the game, it is no wonder that the game ended quickly for Chong Wei. The rowdy spectators were giving added pressure to Chong Wei, instead of helping him, if you watch the video above right to the end and see how they yelled out to support fellow Malaysian players.
