Taiwan badminton duo wins gold for second consecutive Olympics
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's badminton duo on Sunday (Aug. 4) captured the country's first Olympic gold in the Paris Olympics and are the first Taiwanese shuttlers to win back-to-back Olympic golds.
In the men's badminton doubles finals, Lee Yang (李洋) and Wang Chi-lin (王齊麟) faced off with the World No. 1 pair from China, Liang Weikeng (梁偉鏗) and Wang Chang (王昶). A see-saw battle ensued with the opponents splitting the first two games and Taiwan's team edging out their Chinese opponents in the third game.
Their win over a Chinese team meant that the Taiwanese national flag anthem was played in front of Chinese athletes for only the second time in Olympic history, with the first being their victory at the Tokyo Games.
