44 years later.....Singapore's shot at an Olympic medal
I managed to catch the final game between Singapore's Li Jiawei and N.Korea's Kim Hyang Mi for the Olympic's table-tennis semi-final. Singapore's shot at an Olympic medal after 44 years and Li's shot at either S$1mil (gold) or S$500K (silver).
It was a close game all the way till 9-9 until Li lost the last 2 points.
You can almost see the tension flying off both their heads. But why does Kim keep screaming after each point? Super annoying. And her expression? It's as though she wants to stare Li down.
Something struck me while the camera pans in on their faces. Li might have lost the match, but she wins in terms of looks hands down. What perrrrfect skin she has!
Anyway, although she lost the match, it's still all right because she tried her best.
BRONZE BRONZE BRONZE tomorrow! All the way!
