    LD is definitely not quite as "ripped" in his abdomen as he used to be =p. He's gotten a bit soft there!!

    Still don't think LD can beat CL though. He's going to have to hope CL gets upset in early rounds for Rio.

    I'm speechless, Lin Dan is victorious !

    I admit I underestimated Lin Dan, despite his fitness problem and loss of form lately, he makes a fantastic comeback in just a few weeks, almost defying the odds. That is GOAT !

    Definitely.

    Viktor lost a bit of patience and tried to push the pace but the gamble failed. Viktor made a couple of mistakes and that's the difference between a win by two points or a loss by two points.

    I saw the glimmer of old Lin Dan when he was catching up from that 11-3 deficit.

    But I must say, once the gap closed, I stopped seeing the champion Lin Dan again.


    Lin Dan, we don't have too much time to see you. We want to see the champion for one year!

    Viktor`s body gesture showed he`s too tired, lot of heavy huffing & puffing during end of game.

    How did Lin Dan do it, I really must watch the match again - how he overcomes adversity, sheer willpower, grit determination, supreme confidence, self-mastery, so on and so forth !
