Denmark take mixed doubles badminton bronze

Denmark's mixed doubles pair of Joachim Fischer and Christinna Pedersen have won bronze in a surprisingly comfortable match against Indonesia's Tontowi Ahmed and Liliyana Natsir.

The Danes came out flying, making nearly every shot in a first game that ended 21-12, the Indonesians only winning four points on their service.

After being behind early on in the second game, the Danish pair then rallied and raced into a 14-5 lead. The game was secured, despite a mini-fightback from Indonesia, by a score of 21-12.

Indonesia never really got into the final, with the Danes comfortable throughout in a match lasting just 42 minutes.
