sadz.....Ronald Susilo didn't manage to enter the semis for Men's Singles....:(
Was so upbeat when i heard that he managed to surfed through the first 2 competitors and one of them was the World No 1 seed from China!!
but it's the cold hard truth. Singapore will never materialise the dream she has been harbouring since the only medal was won 40+ years ago.
I was still full of hopes when Susilo managed to be in the quarterfinals. I was thinking it was one small step to victory.
But as I watched him play on the tv, i could see that he's under immense pressure and he's totally worn out.
Probaly because he wasn't just physically tired. He was also mentally tired. All Singaporean's hopes were on him to possibly clinch a medal back and let everyone triump in that victory.
We were so close. Yet so far.
Nevertheless, I really think he has fought hard. He still has another Beijing 2008 Oympics to go. I'm sure he'll bring back one shiny piece of gold next time.
You go Susilo!
