Badminton: Long Chen wins gold for China
Chen defeats Malaysia's Chong Wei Lee in straight games to bring home the gold medal in the men's badminton singles. The score is the same as the first game, 21-18, after a fierce contest. China would have expected to pick up this medal, but with things not quite going their way in rest of the games and in badminton in general, this win will be very welcome
Chinese domination slowly falling apart
China picks up its second Gold, Malaysia end up with three Silvers in Badminton. #Rio2016
