LEE CHONG WEI IS GETTING A MEDAL FOR MALAYSIA!!!

Sorry... just HAVE to caps the title... :)

Congratulations to Lee Chong Wei! You made Malaysia proud. WHOOHOO!!!

It has been 12 years Malaysia didn't have a single medal in the Olympics. This year there will be a change. I was literally rejoicing when this dude won the semi-finals in the men's single badminton event.

Look at him... so exhausted from the semi-finals against the Korean shuttler.

We'll see the finals unfold on Sunday when he will compete against Lin Dan from China. Good luck to him.

For trivia lovers, Malaysia only won a silver and 2 bronzes in 1992 and 1996 Olympics. All of them in badminton. Yea, that's it.

On the other note, there is so much controversies going on during the course of the Olympics. One of them if the age of the gymnasts from China (seriously, 16? Those girls look like they are 13 for goodness sake) and also the failure of dope tests that seem to happen every single time.

And oh, Yahoo! Sports, STOP trying to put USA on the top of the medal tally just because they got the most medals. It's pretty annoying. Place them when they actually get the most GOLD medals (which they most likely to), like the other sites do. Gah!
