Mighty Chinese primed for golden Wembley encore

Dominant force in badminton likely to reign again at London Games

Boasting a high-octane mix of raw power and technical wizardry, China is badminton's heavy metal act and will be primed to rock the Wembley Arena when it headlines the Olympic tournament at the London Games.

China took three out of five titles on its home court at the 2008 Beijing Games to match its gold medal haul from Athens four years earlier, and expects to remain top of the pops at the northwest London venue, which has hosted the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones over the decades.
