Cordon wins, but will probably finish 4th?

First ever medal for Indonesia in women’s doubles at the Olympics. Guaranteed at least silver now!   

 

It means Indonesia have won medals across all 5 badminton events since badminton was introduced in the Olympics in 1992. Women’s doubles is also the only badminton event they haven’t won Olympic gold in. Good luck Indonesia!!

I think the rule for Indonesian gold is simple: Expect the unexpected player to win gold

Well it seems we all have different predictions. My pick is Chen, TTY, Sindhu. It’s a quite open situation and that’s the beauty of it.

I should buy the lottery
