Saina Nehwal flaunts her gold medal after winning the Hong Kong Open badminton Super Series


Malaysia's world number one Lee Chong Wei put his Asian Games disappointment behind him to smash his way to the Hong Kong Open Super Series title Sunday, while Saina Nehwal won the women's crown.



Top seed Lee, beaten by China's Lin Dan in the final last month at the Games in Guangzhou, saw off Indonesia's third-seeded Taufik Hidayat 21-19, 21-9 in little over 30 minutes at Queen Elizabeth Stadium.

The Malaysian has enjoyed a fine season on the Super Series tour, but cannot shed the tag of nearly man -- he was also defeated by the mercurial Lin in the final at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Lin, Lee's nemesis, pulled out of the Hong Kong meet citing fatigue and injury.
