Danes through after Doubles thriller





Denmark's Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen recorded a thrilling men's Doubles semi-final victory over Republic of Korea's Chung Jae-sung and Lee Yong-dae to advance to the final on the morning of Day 8.

After a high-quality exhibition, it was the third-seeded Danes who prevailed after coming from behind to win 17-21 21-18 22-20 against the third seeds in 83 minutes.

They will now have the chance to claim only Europe's second Olympic Badminton gold when they take on China's top seeds Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng.

The Chinese pair kept their country on course for a possible clean sweep of golds in the tournament with a 21-9 21-19 defeat of Malaysia's Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong.
