At this year's Hangzhou Asian Games, defending champions China staged an epic comeback, bouncing back from 0-2 down to claim the badminton men's team gold with a 3-2 victory over India.
Li Shifeng, 23, saved China from the brink of a defeat after crushing Srikanth Nammalwar Kidambi in straight games after India had taken a 2-0 lead.
Li took an intense first game 24-22, and then clinched his 21-9 win in quick succession, clearing away the shadow brought about by the losses of Shi Yuqi and Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang.
Li also clinched the men's singles title in his first appearance at this year's All England Badminton Open in Birmingham.
