Lin Dan's made mistakes because of his declining physical abilities, and this decided the difference between win and lose in tight games. One step too late is too late. Lee Chong Wei is older than Lin Dan, but he fairs better physically in the aging process. Lin Dan has a higher peak than Lee Chong Wei; Yet Lee's peak last a bit longer. In this sense, the mother nature is very fair. There cannot be a better end to their career. If someone who can beat Lin Dan, I would rather it be Lee. May I wish Lee to win his long-sought gold medal in Rio, which means Lin Dan only lost to another Champion! Chen Long can wait
LCW post-match interview. He cries when the commentator ask him whether he has imagined able to enter the final. He said he never thought that he can enter Olympics final and gain WR 1 after his suspension. It has been a long journey for him. Thumb up for LCW as he never gives up
