The women's doubles badminton semifinals took place on Friday with two Chinese duos earning a spot in the gold medal match to take place on Saturday. In the second match of the day, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, who won silver at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, needed three sets to defeat Malaysia's Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan.
It's no wonder the match went a little longer than expected since one point took over 100 shots and approximately one minute and 43 seconds to play. It was the most exciting badminton highlight of the day, not involving a marriage proposal. Just watch.
