Lee Chong Wei steamrolled Indonesia’s Sony Dwi Kuncoro Thursday to reach the Olympic badminton men’s semi-finals and keep Malaysia’s hopes alive of winning its first ever gold medal.

Lee, ranked second in the world, played down his 21-9, 21-11 quarter-final victory over the Indonesian, achieved with a mixture of delicate drop shots and airborne attacks, saying the Athens bronze medallist had been nervous.

Lee was also circumspect about his chances of causing an upset over China to clinch gold, saying although he had beaten their three players before, they were enjoying a home ground advantage.

Lee meets the winner of the quarter-final clash between China’s third seed Bao Chunlai and South Korean champion Lee Hyunil to be played later Thursday scheduled 1830 (+0800 SGT).

In capturing the 200-meter butterfly and 800 freestyle relay with his fourth and fifth world records in as many races in the Beijing Games, Phelps eclipsed a group including Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis to become the winningest Olympian of all time with 11 gold medals.

That leaves only one other thing for Phelps to do before he leaves China: win all eight of his events to take down Spitz’s record of seven golds at the 1972 Munich Games.

Phelps is now five-for-five, and Mark Spitz is well-within his sights. Saturday morning’s 100-meter butterfly is the biggest hurdle remaining. If Phelps can get by American teammate Ian Crocker, he should get his eight golds, barring a catasrophic disqualification in Sunday’s medley relay.

Three more events for swimming history., 15, 16 and 17th August.
