EDIT: THIS IS NOW OVER, but the matches are archived at the same place.

The channel of the Badminton World Federation shows many tournements live and today, right now, are the finals of the world championship. A good opportunity to check the sport if you are curious.
There are five finals. The first of the five, women double, is currently in play. Mixed double, women single, men double and men single will follow. Note that even if men single is the most prestigious discipline, all five events are interesting because the tactics are different. The men single final will be the expected dream final between the world N?1 Lee Chong Wei and the wild card Lin Dan (his ranking dropped because he was on a sabbatical to spend time with his family), the guy that consistently denied Chong Wei the most important titles (world championships, olympic games and All England championship). A classic struggle between the incredible movement and defensive skills of Chong Wei and the powerful all out attack of Lin Dan.
Check it out!
