She is not the fake one. I think the one you added one is the fake. Just able to chat with WYH, she said she made too many mistakes towards the end of the 3rd game.
Lin Dan was trained in Jiang Su province! Players' relationship with team is not determined by their birth place only. When Lin Dan was 12 years old and just 148cm tall in 1995. The army-run badminton training center at Nan Jing, (meanning southern capital) of Jiang Su province, enlisted Lin Dan. From that time, Lin Dan has been away from home to play badminton. Nan Jing (Jiang Su) army run training center is one of the best in the nation. They produced both single national games champions in men's and women's: Lin Dan and Jiang Yan Jiao. They also have double experts, like He Han Bing (men), Zhao Ting Ting (women). The dual champion Jiang Su also has its badminton training center in Nan Jing, but it's different from the army's training center. Even though the center is at Nan Jing (Jiang Su province), all players belong to PLA (the people's army). Lin Dan was born in Fu Jian, trained in Jiang Su, but play for the Army.
He's a non-military officer, therefore does not have a rank. Anyway, from the level of his package, he's at the rank of major in the US army or Lt. commander in the Navy. That's my guess. Ask Suetyan to QQ LD for that.
I vote for the two dark horses. WYH was leading 19-14 in the decider game, but she just can't convert into the win.
