He already matured when he peaked, and started his family shortly after winning WC '05. Been a family man since. It was mostly during his younger days when going uphill that he fooled around with women, party hard and indiscipline in training.
Badly injured Lin Dan wins the decisive match to lead Beijing to the Final Six times All England Champion beats another rookie 21-19 17-21 21-14.

That's his lunging foot. Looks like a blood blister, ie a blister due to repetitive rubbing/chafing filled with blood.
I don't speak Mandarin but that's the conversation I'm imagining: Lin Dan: "What's that racket you are using? Looks nice!" Lee Chong Wei: "It's a Z-Force, just like yours. Only a repaint. hehe" Lin Dan: "Okay, I see. Let's get the match started..."
Note that Lin Dan is using a repainted VTZF2 while Lee Chong Wei is using a repainted VTZF. Check out http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...and-their-racquets.2306/page-195#post-2497386.
The day this man retires from international badminton and we can no longer watch his amazing racket skills and fluid footwork, will be a very very sad day.
