Li Shi Feng defeated fellow Chinese shuttler Shi Yu Qi to win the men's singles title at the All England Open badminton championships on Sunday, while South Korea's An Se Young smashed her way to the women's title.
The all-Chinese men's final ended 26-24 21-5, beginning neck-and-neck in the first game and ending in a decisive victory for 23-year-old Li in the second.
China has dominated Olympic badminton since the sport made its debut at the Games in Barcelona in 1992, with 47 medals including 20 golds. An beat 25-year-old Chen in a fierce battle in the women's final that at times had Chen on her knees and An skidding across the court on her stomach more than once to make a shot.
"Every game that has given me experience has led me to this one... This is a historical moment in my career - this is an opportunity to grow."
