Check out this article....he is described as the "McEnroe of badminton" good to see American writers recognize both Lin Dan and badminton http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/writers/richard_deitsch/08/17/lin.dan/index.html
Nice article, but also a very typical CNN article where they like to include politics (emphasizing communist) whenever is possible.
"...when it comes to bad boys: Girls love them -- even the ones who play badminton." AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAA
