if more refs owned their mistakes, they wouldnt be so villified by sports fans.

Well done Umpire. I hope more of you in other badminton tournaments.

[otivaeey]

Very good overturn. Good future for King Cup.

[sportonjob]

Really bad call from the line umpire. But if not for the bad call, we wouldn't have seen the funny run by antonsen. That wobbly run was worth the bad call.

[jimcasale]

Thank god for the video replay !!! Every sport should demand it !!!

[jimmetan]

In the end, Antonsen was the winner and the Champion.

Lin Dan surely remembers Lee Hyun Il from Antonsen's gesture from that smash that is out. Only difference is Lin Dan looks more angry and Antonsen always looks funny.

King cup must be held for several country, lin dan cup, lee chong wei cup, peter gade cup, taufik hidayat cup.

She didn't own her mistake. They checked the replay and then overruled her.

[manscharmmsn]

Owing to your mistake not only clear your thoughts and mind, it keeps your integrity and the tournament as well ❤❤❤

This was good umpiring overturned the line judge bias. The better player should be the winner.

[fth]

The casters even said that it's hard to say whether is out or in after watching the slo-mo replay 😂. Bias casters as usual

[kennytanification]

Lin Dan did everything right for this tournament, except for freaking Hawkeye

[rayray-chxt]

any tournament regardless the prize money especially the semi finals and final,

should have instant review system installed for instant review for any dispute.

Instant review system is so cheap to install in every tournament now.

[Human-nogj]

Even the replays show the shuttle was out., where am i, what am i. 😢😢😢

[heyon]

The umpire only overturn it because Hu told the umpire he missed and gives the point to Antonsen

[lachen]

Good thing it was overturned. Sports should be not only fair, but seen to be fair. Unlike the Olympics where US manipulates the events to suit it's strong events such as in swimming and track events. One should not be too surprised if baseball is added during the 2028 Olympics. A game where only one country plays the "World Championships" 😂

[tantantrinidad]

Awww a Dane experiencing a wrong call... 😅

[sint]

This was all handled correctly by all parties. It could’ve had less dramatics to respect the game and his opponent but in the end the outcome was correct.

[johnduck]

So clearly out, it is nauseating... glad they gave him the call
