Bronze for us in Badminton women as the Chinese player had to forfeit the game due to an injury. She won the first set 21-18 and retired just after one serve in the 2nd set.

I'll take it either way

Serena Williams is absolutely blowing Sharapova away. I don't know much about tennis, but this is amazing. Has a game like this ever been won with the loser not winning a game? 3 more games and she wins it.
