My guess for the All England Finals winners and let's check the accuracy rate at night

Men's single:  Axelsen

Women's single:  Yamaguchi

Men's doubles:   Fikri/Maulana

Women's doubles:  Zhang/Zheng

Mixed doubles:  Wang/Huang

So it's 60% correct and China won no golds. I admitted that I actually thought we may lose the Women's double but the mixed double is unexpected. I gotta say the Japanese female mixed double player Higashino Arisa is a better version now and Axelsen just seems unbeatable.

What a day for Japan X3 G, 1 each for Indonesia and Denmark. 

 

Good tournament, lots of suprises! 

 

Wonder if there is a option of exchanging match results , maybe lakshya would want today's result  to get exchanged with last weeks German Open semis when he beat Axelsen !

All England Open Champions Fikri and Maulana out in Rd1 losing to Satwik /Chirag

So the Olympic silver medallists Chinese were actually a pair of fuckin cheaters. A much harsher ban should have been imposed and much earlier. They shouldn't have been allowed to participate in Olympics at all last year!

14 year old Unnati Hooda  became one of the youngest  winners in BWF world tour event. Enroute her victory she defeated the actual Indian No 2 in Women's Singles(Malvika Bansod) (Grandma Saina is ranked higher than Malvika but she's very old and losing everything now including straight game loss to Malvika recently) 

She made it through an extremely difficult national trials to qualify for Uber Cup and Asian Games, India's youngest ever badminton player to do so..
