Great Moments in Olympic Badminton History

Fei Ge and Jun Gu Dominate in Women's Doubles

By Stephen Hufford, About.com

Earning the Olympic badminton women's doubles gold medal at both the 1996 and 2000 Olympics qualifies Fei Ge and Jun Gu of China as the creators of some of Olympic badminton's greatest moments.

The men's doubles final from the 2000 Olympics was also extremely high quality, and is available as an eight minute YouTube video. Even just from game 2 of this match, Tony Gunawan and Candra Wijaya get credit for creating some of Olympic badminton's greatest moments, as do their opponents, Lee Dong-soo and Yoo Yong-sung.

There will surely be more great badminton moments created at the Beijing Olympics!
