Unseeded Taiwanese Pair Retain Badminton Doubles Title In Olympic First
Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin clinched Taiwan's first gold of the Paris Olympics on Sunday when they beat their top-seeded Chinese opponents to retain their men's badminton doubles title. The unseeded Taiwanese pair beat Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang 21-17, 18-21, 21-19 in an epic encounter at La Chapelle Arena, becoming the first men's doubles pair to retain the Olympic title. But Wang admitted that the pair had "a lot of doubts" heading into the competition after a run of indifferent results.
