Taiwanese badminton duo, Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin capped off a fairytale Olympic debut with a a victory over China's Li Jun-hui and Liu Yu-chen.

Lee and Wang secured Taiwan's first-ever badminton gold at the Olympics.

They defeated the Chinese duo in 34-minutes.

Wang later put up an ecstatic Facebook post, declaring that he was from Taiwan.

The two stood atop the podium as the Taiwan "flag anthem" played.

Way back

Wang and Lee have known each other since they were"10 or 11".

Wang had jokingly said earlier this year, Jan. 2021, in an interview that he did not like Lee's skills at first because he was too good.

He also confidently predicted that Lee would remember his birthday, which was the day after they had secured the Yonex Open in Thailand (Jan. 17, 2021), because they had known each other for over 10 years.

Lee however had not bought him a gift, claiming the victory was good enough.

Like all good friends though, he eventually relented and said he would see what Wang needed.

Wang didn't hesitate one second.

Nice.
