Lin Dan ( 林丹 )

He could do that, but I think he is busy listening to what his own coaches have to tell him.

 

Why are you guys commenting about VA in this thread??????

This thread is for Lin Dan,Lin Dan's fans,LD's underwears and XXF...Anyone else,not allowed.

No more VA comments plzzz.

- Not a Mod -

 

Really hope Lin dan will pouch back soon .

 

Another 1st round loss for Lin Dan - is this the end of the King?

 

Nah, don't underestimate him. He's very likely aiming to peak at the right time for nothing less than his third OG gold.

 

What an upset Lin dan lost again 1st round !

 

I don't know why people still think that... First it was at the start of the Olympic qualifying period that he will show his true form, then the WC, now it's the Olympics.

Personally, I don't think LD has got what it takes to take his third Olympic gold medal, when he will meet CL (maybe even JOJ, VA, etc.) on his way.

One has to admit that his speed, stamina, power and so on are decreasing and he is no longer invincible. Sad, but true.

 

Just a gut feeling.

I wouldn't bet against him for OG gold. Judging from his past performances in big and small tournaments, his plan now is just simply to play enough to be the number 2 player from China to qualify for OG.

When the time comes closer to Rio, perhaps we should have a poll of who we think will win OG...

 

I think his very long vacation take toll now.

 

I would say probably CL JOJ or VA

 

I see only 2 candidate will go on to win the olypimic next year Chen long or Vixtor Aselxen.

 

LD will deliver the goods when the time is right

 

Why not JOJ he is awesome

 

are these the signs that he should retire? Taufik was horrible too and it was sad to watch.

 

I don't think LD will win it, he is old slow and with a big belly although am a big fan

 

Yah, see Taufik is a good example

 

We can't predict anything. Anything can happen. Victor, though he beats lindan , he is still vulnerable to many players. And JOJ , i dont think he will win even a medal. But victor can.

Lindan has still time to come back. But there are lots of people now who may face lindan @ olympics without fear and they can face him with confidence. Yesterday, his game with prannoy was very fast pace game. He was able to match youngsters in speed . No need to worry now.

 

Why are people doubting JOJ just watch his matches reminds me of legends playing . A different class from others.

 

I'm not sure if LD is able to get nr. 2 in world ranking as long as he doesn't advance frequently in tournaments...

 

Hard to tell really... But I agree with you on Taufik. He kept going far too long, when he should have retired already.
