#Taiwan beats China to win gold in #badminton men's doubles
In the badminton men's doubles final on July 31, 2021, Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin of Taiwan defeated China's Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen in straight sets, with a score of 21-18 and 21-12. This was Taiwan's historic gold medal in badminton.
In Hong Kong, more than 200 people gathered at APM mall in Kwun Tong, watching live broadcast of the match by Cable TV Olympics 601 channel.
Every time when the Taiwan team scored, the crowd clapped their hands. In the determining second round, when Taiwan won by scores and the China team conceded losing the challenge, all in the mall applauded in roaring cheers.
At the award ceremony, the plum blossom flag representing Taiwan's Chinese Olympic Committee was raised taking the top most position.
However, in Hong Kong, Cable TV did not broadcast the award ceremony after Taiwan won gold. Instead, mixed 4 x 400 metres relay was broadcast which was completed some time earlier. The relay was a delayed broadcast.
