英语听力：中国羽毛球男队完胜韩国连续五夺汤姆斯杯

But Lee and Kim picked up the pace in the second. They put Cai and Fu on the defensive and the Koreans held game point at 20-19.

Then Cai and Fu managed to pull away during a tense final few points. The second game final read 25-23. China moved to a 2-0 lead after game two.

The home team stood a match win away from its 5th trophy in a row. Chen Long took on Shon Wan Ho from South Korea, and he was ready for the clincher. Chen won the first game 21-9.

But mistakes began to creep up midway through the second...Chen let Shon keep it close and cut the deficit to two.

Then, Chen regained his poise at the end. This was his first Thomas Cup, and the Chinese debutant closed out the game 21-13 to wrap up victory for China 3-0. Chen and his teammates didn’t lose a single game Sunday afternoon in claiming China’s 5th straight Thomas Cup since 2004. The squad’s next challenge comes at the London Olympics.

Li Yongbo, Head Coach of China National Badminton Team, "Winning the cup helps a lot in boosting the team’s confidence, but we have to learn from it. Even though we won the Thomas Cup, the Olympic Games will be another matter. So we will try to learn from the experience of winning the two cups. And I hope we can become stronger in the final stage of Olympic preparations."
