Indonesia beats China for gold in badminton
BEIJING (AP)—Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia have won the gold medal in men’s doubles at the Olympic badminton tournament, defeating China’s Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng in three sets.
Top-seeded Kido and Setiawan recovered from a shaky start on their way to a 12-21, 21-11, 21-16 win Saturday over the second-seeded Chinese pair at Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium.
It was Indonesia’s first gold medal of the games and second medal on Saturday at the badminton tournament. Maria Kristin Yulianti won the bronze medal in women’s singles.
After Setiawan made a cross-court backhand just out of the reach of Cai to win the match, the Indonesians embraced before being tackled by their coach.
