For the fifth straight Olympics, China carried off the men's doubles title, thanks to top seeds Chen Qi and Ma Lin, who proved too strong for Hong Kong pair Ko Lai-chak and Li Ching. 'I am speechless,' said Chen. 'I can't describe this feeling of winning. I am over excited. Even though you don't see my tears, later I will cry with excitement. My mum and dad will be proud of me.' Ma said: 'It was an extremely difficult match to win. In the beginning, we played well, but the match was not an easy one to play. Hong Kong prepared themselves well. They are one of the best in the world and the biggest threat to China.'
