Singapore's Silver

Singapore finally won an Olympic Games medal after 48 long years. The Olympic silver medal came from Singapore Women Table Tennis Team - Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu. The final battle was between China and Singapore. Though the China team dominated fully with 3 straight wins, but the Singapore team did put up a glorious battle with them. After all, it's not easy to beat World No. 1 Zhang Yining, No. 2 Guo Yue and No. 5 (and former World No. 1) Wang Nan. Whereas Li Jiawei, Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei, are ranked 6th, 7th and 9th in the world and 2nd seed team.

Noticed their expressions during the game? That Wang Nan's expression very kuku yet amusing and irritating. Whenever she lost a point, she'd show her super unhappy face and keep mumbling. Like wanna scold people already. Win a point also mumble and mumble but shorter than she lost a point. Whereas the rest, kind of expressionless but Li Jia Wei and Wang Yue Gu still can smile smile even when they lost a point.


Michael Phelps is seriously the legend of the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
