LOL. All the talk of LD possibly taking gold for Rio make me wonder what's the odd of FHF and CY getting back for Rio?
This IS Lin Dan's era. Will stay that way until the 2nd greatest MS badminton player holds down his racket.
Actually LCW did try several times in G1 and g2 to attack furiously but almost every time he was repelled, that's why he's forced to construct the rally a bit and bide his time to attack; hence it appeared that LCW wasn't aggressive enough, he wasn't allowed to by Chen Long's superb defence and counterattack.
When did he ever arrive in the first place? Don't worry he will sweep all the SSs and the GPs again. And lose at the majors again. He will leave without a legacy.
Carolina is far from a coward, she has a lion heart. The only difference between Carolina and Lin Dan being that Lin Dan has a lion and iron heart that wears on his sleeve, with swagger. Carolina instead deliberately plays the psychology game. Lin Dan doesn't have to deliberately portray anything, swagger, and style oozes out of him.
His movement is fluid, rhythmic though. Although none of his match ups have the intensity and action of an Lin-Lee encounter.
Yeah, sure. He had no impact on the badminton scene whatsoever. People won't remember him. Not really a special player. You know how ridiculous this sounds?
I think difference is about nationality. Chinese people in general are more calm than for example Spanish people.
Carolina Marin is the best player in the WS along with RI but that won't change my mindset that she is a coward too.
WD up next. While China will likely take this, and deservedly so, I hope Denmark wins cause this pair has great sports(wo)manship... and to listen to a different national anthem today!
Gao Ling said she will listen to some music in between XD and WD matches if she needed to play in both. Advice for ZYL.
