Winners!

All-England Champs

So, after a 25-year wait, we finally win something at the All-England championships! Hurrah for Koo and Tan!!

From a scratch pair to world beaters and now world champions, all in a matter of six months - wow!

But they have shown the grit and determination to persevere, beating the top seeds on the way to the title.

Personally I didn't think they would win, even after their win over the Danish pair in the semis. I thought their Chinese opponenents were too strong. Well, I am surprised! They covered the court well and complemented each other; they were especially good at the net. If any, my only grouse is that they can't smash - but then all great Malaysian badminton pairs can't anyway.

This is just the beginning of their journey. Lets hope they make it all the way - perhaps dawn of a new era in Malaysian badminton...

Malaysia boleh!! For good reasons this time around....
