    Axelsen's attacks gives CL more problems than LCW's attacks.

    And Axelsen isn't less scary than Lee ChongWei, just has different pros and cons.
    I remember well how he lead Lin Dan with a carrot when they played. If he can do the same against Chen Long, don't think he has enough answers.

    Congrats LCW, despite being nervous all the way (apart from the second game when LD threw it) you prevailed. I wouldn't say it was your best play, but it was enough to beat LD.

    I understand but I expect more from Lin Dan at crucial moments.

    Given the magnitude of the situation, that was one of the best rallies of the year.

    If LCW does win gold, we may see him for another 1 or 2 years chasing the WC.

    What a circle of life. Marks the beginning, and marks the end of his career.
