Badminton World Championships August 2011 - London - Wembley Arena

As a treat for our 4 years wedding anniversary, we bought tickets for the Badminton Worlds, in London. As Badminton England members, we also took advantage of a free offer in the first day of the Worlds, which means we attended on the first and last day of the Championships. On the first day, we also took Maria and our badminton friend, Karyn. Here are some pictures from the event.

 First day at the Wembley Arena

 Not a very popular event. If it was a football match, the streets would have been flooded with people.

 Thumbs up for badminton and the excellent day spent in the arena

 Time to go home

 In the final day, the most interesting and spectacular match was the Men's Single Final, between Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia (in this picture) and Lin Dan from China. Lin Dan won, but it was a very intensive and close game. The Chinese took all 5 titles on the day, but it was good to see a British couple in the final of Mixed Doubles.
