TOKYO (Reuters)-On Monday, Denmark's Victor Axelson swept the Olympic men's singles gold medal, replacing Chinese player Chen Long who won the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Axelson and Chen, the two cruelest smashers in the world, ended the game 21-15 21-12 after nearly an hour of flash shooting and a fascinating rally. Afterwards, Chen hugged and talked in Chinese with Axelson, who was still sobbing when he left the stadium.

"He told me it was what I deserved, and I did a great job here. I said, "Thank you very much, he inspired me a lot," Akser, who just hung up the phone with Frederick. Elson said the Crown Prince of Denmark.

Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting defeated Guatemala's Kevin Corden 21-11 21-13 to win the bronze medal, shattering his hopes of winning the second ever Olympic medal for his country.

With Chen's silver medal, China won six badminton medals in Tokyo, more than any other country: mixed doubles gold and silver, women's singles gold, men's doubles silver, women's doubles silver, and now, the silver medal is in the men's singles.

Although the Chinese team won all five gold medals in London, their performance is not as good as the two gold medals and one bronze medal they won in the Rio Olympics, which is their lowest score in the Olympics.

Earlier, the world's sixth-ranked women's doubles duo, Grecia Polly and Indonesia's Apriani Rahayu, won the Olympic gold medal, as noisy onlookers chanted and waved their flags. , Broke the road to victory.

They defeated China's Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan 21-19 21-15. The encouraging shouts of a few Indonesian team members and supporters who kept their distance from the society echoed in the almost empty Musashino Forest Sports Plaza in Tokyo.

This victory is well-deserved. At one stage, Polii hit the shuttlecock so hard that one of the lines on her racket broke, and she had to rush out for another while still playing at this point.

Indonesia has never won a gold medal in women's doubles, and China has previously performed well in this event.

"People say,'You won't succeed because Indonesia has no history in women's doubles," said Polly, 33, crying, her Olympic dream began 20 years ago.

"I am here now."

After winning, Polly and Rahayou hugged each other tightly. When the Indonesian flag was raised, they sang the national anthem under their masks. In a touching friendship, they invited the silver and bronze medalists to squeeze onto the podium for a group photo.
