China is the clear winner in MS What a superb and entertaining final match of two great players, Lin Dan and Chen Long, and China is the clear winner...for having both
Second AG Gold in a row for Lin Dan. He rips off his shirt and throws it into the wildly cheering crowd.
Wow, I always thought LD and LCW had comparable ability to defend the side lines, but after this display today, maybe not. LD's defense on the side lines was amazing. He just wouldn't give the point to CL. I didn't expect this level of defense from a 30 year old. You would think LD is 18 years old, moving so fast to defend the side lines.
The match started tamely for Lin Dan in the beginning and it gradually built up into a crescendo, what a climax.
Not only is Lin Dan's defence superb, his counterattacking ability and his knack to turn defence into attack is second to none.
as earlier said lets admit LIN DAN is an everlasting god of badminton.. The supreme-greatest king among his 4 MS king era, even in his 30, it is unreal to be able to outclass his 25 y.o. top performing junior Makes taufik 2006 achievement looks like nothing in term of longevity, motivation, and dedication to be a champion and defending it like a boss
Now, never ever, ever ever, compare Lin Dan, the living legend, to any player of his generation. This match is one of the finest I have seen. Lin Dan is the numero uno in everything. He moves so smooth, it plays like a song. He is so fast, and can up his game when desired. This is Lin Dan, the only one.
