LONDON (AP) -- Asian Games champion Chen Long of China reached the last 16 in Olympic badminton by beating Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand 21-12, 21-17 Sunday.
The third-ranked Chen lost in the first round in the same Wembley Arena at last year's world championships, but he was prepared for Boonsak in their group elimination match.
Former No. 1 Lee Hyun-il of South Korea, who was fourth at the Beijing Olympics, beat Rodrigo Pacheco Carillo of Peru in two games, as did sixth-seeded Sho Sasaki
