China's defending Olympic champions Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen were sensationally dumped Monday from the quarter-finals of the women's doubles badminton by Japan's underdogs.
Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna came charging back from one game down to stun the Chinese 2-1 who were favourites to retain the title they won in Athens four years ago.
The Japanese girls dropped to their knees after the match, hugging and crying before embracing their coaches.
"This was the biggest win of our lives," Suetsuna said.
