วีดีโอ

I was weeping too! The thing you can't see well in the match is that Tai was smiling, but because of the hug she started crying too. Ratchanok knew that this was their last match ever, and Tai's last match ever, and she's the one who outed her friend from the Olympics. The gravity of the moment wasn't lost on her. She's such a big heart. These two women are my heroes. Truly the end of an era. What a thing to witness.

Man no way your dark horse pick is right 💀.Kim Won Ho /Jeong Na Eun just pulled a drama by winning Seo Sung Jae/Chae Yu Jung in a 3 set game !!!

Indeed your gut feeling on kimwonho is true. he will achieve great thing and already secure at least a silver in olympic debut. the most underrated pair is now in the Olympic Finals. I stand with my prediction that 1993-1994 and 2000s born will advanced far. Jeong na eun (2000) pearly tan (2000) huang ya qiong (1994) marin (1993) I believe Axelsen(1994) and Marin(1993) will storm their way into finals tomorrow.

Who is here after unforgettable heartbreak defeat of Chi-sat duo in badminton 😔

Why did you cursed my two beloved Shetty and Rankireddy😢😢

You just miss the Malaysia women double dark horse team.

I'm here to comment again. Told you so. NEVER. OVERLOOK. AARON. SOH. Clearly they have shown they are the very definition of Dark Horses, beating your "top pick"

I couldn't watch match where can I watch now it nowhere on the internet. Pls helppppp

Please do lee chong wei

PV Sindhu in womens Akshay Sen is men's Sat-Chi duo in doubles😉

TTY the new lcw one of the best ever but just couldn’t win at the biggest stage, lcw aleast lost to the goat though

Nice video, very informative for people who don't know too much about Badminton or have been out of it for a while.

Yes. I really couldn't take it. 😭 Credit to Ratchanok. She turned up, took her chances well and achieved a great victory. But she is not a medal contender despite this victory.

Lakshya Sen dark horse prediction was spot on!

Tai Tzu-ying should rest now. However I think if she chooses not to retire, she will still win tournaments for more years to come.

Atleast you are right about Lakshya beating Christie!...fingers crossed for the dark horse prediction too! Sindhu is my dark horse too!

Both of them deserve to make it out if group

I am the same Ben! 😢

Chitag and satwik gonna win gold in men's doubles for sure ♥️♥️

What happened??? 😮😵

😢😢😢😢

Can you do one with the danish Ladies dubels

Christie was unable to qualify to pre-qf..u need to react to it..and give ur opinions plssss

Bro your dark horse win against Jonathan Christie 🎉🎉

Dark horse = Lakshya Sen for MS. Seems like a good prediction now 🎉

haha so now Lakshya Sen mauled Christie in straight sets.

bro, lakshya sen is going thru pre-quarterfinals and he defeated Johnathan in 2 straight games. what a prediction!

Wish you also cover the part where the entire crowd started chanting his name because he almost beat Lee Cheuk Yiu at the Olympics and even celebrated at the end.

you gotta respect Aya big bro she's been going off this year and looks locked in asf, Carolina not about to run thru her

with all limelight on Lakshya Sen, HS prannoy might seize the day!

A little late to the party here, but I would like to say that if you put 2008 olympic final lin dan against 2011 lin dan, I think that the 2008 version would win. In 2008, he had no concern for injuries whatsoever. He was incredibly fast on court, and watching that game is simply ridiculous. You wonder why you don't see such incredible attack in modern mens singles, and its because nobody has the stamina or speed to get behind the shuttle every time it is in the air, and rarely can they get from the back of the court to the front in time to get over the shuttle and kill it. LCW definetely wasn't playing his best, but his defence was not bad either. The reason there were so many net kills was because of both the quality of LDs smashes, and because of his sheer speed on the follow up. Lin dan was a more 'well rounded' player afterwards, but his style evolved into a more long term style. He began losing games that he shouldn't have lost, and played almost conservatively. He never was as fast after the 2008 olympics, likely to extend his career and avoid injury. If he was to do this against the 2008 LD, he would have been punished quickly. LD was also a very momentum based player, and the 08 version was much better at forcing errors than the 2011 lin dan, who would wait for his opponent to make a mistake.

incredible series of videos, bravo Ben! Such a detailed approach and high quality of delivery, now I'm gonna be a nerd and explain this badminton-to-olympics story to all my friends (even if they didn't ask for that) the joke on having too much coffee while making badminton videos so it can be counted as a doping made me laugh hard 🤪 please know that your work is highly highly appreciated and I wish much more subscribers get to your channel soon!

our coach's dad is Mr.Hans Niesner 😮

What do u think about satwik/Reddy?

Satchi❤

When u don't predict any Malaysians, but they were the earlier ones to qualify to the QF 😂

How do you watch the games in the UK?

Aaron and Soh are the very definition of dark horse. No one ever talks about them, but they always find a way to get a medal.

Loh Kean yew is on great form though, I could see him on the podium maybe

We know the dark horse here is loh kean yew

The smashes were ridiculous..and the banter was entertaining

Nobody gave them a chance but what a game

You just earned a new follower. Very good, very precise, very to the point. Excellent video. Just one doubt. Doubt: What is the Quarter Final bracket in Men's Doubles? Cannot find it in Wikipedia either or in BWF page or in Paris Olympics page. You are the only hope to cleat my doubt. Is C1 facing B2 or C1 facing A2 or C1 facing D2? Whats exactly. A short reply would work

Axelsen and ASY have fitness issue. I think it will cost them.

My prediction is boring. Not what i want but it's gonna be the oldtimers, Axelsen and Marin for singles. ASY will have disappointed run. Love Tai for a podium end but not gold unfortunately. Other potential years are 1993-1994 and 2000. So Huangyaqiong have best chance for XD. dark horse would be Toh ee wei although unlikely. MD, we have rankireddy and liang weikeng. Liang weikeng has an extraordinary formation so I'd pick China. skip Indo. these pair have zero luck in major tour altho they are truly good. WD, we have a pair with 2 players born in 2000 and 1994. almost certain they will get the gold. lee so hee-baek ha na. altho my personal favourite is pearly tan and i know she would get a very major title in her life cause she would be rich (malaysia offer 7 million for first gold). so korea is my pick, with either malaysia or indo being dark horse (depend who survive group stage). again skip japanese namishida. zero luck in major tour like indo MD.

Why didn't you pick kang and seo at all in the men's doubles, just curious

Who said malaysia vs china, it was china vs china 😂, just joking

Lakshay is doing well at Paris 2024. @dark horse😂

It was a very exciting match

For the longest time you'd be crazy to bet on a third name other than Lin Dan and LCW. Sad but not sad that its become this chaotic in Mens single.
