    Exactly. That was the last time he actually seemed invincible, after that he was 'just' another world class player...

    Unfortunate that, if he grew up in today's time, he would have better medical treatment.

    both are very very solid and consistent players. neither can really smash through another.

    it is a battle of consistency.

    Let's not lose sight of what LCW's goal is. Having to beat LD is only a step towards it. Anyway, I get your point.

    Peter Gade proven wrong, we didn't see a very different Lin Dan at the Olympics.

    LD is alright. Nice bloke. He has to do the things that he did. It's his fans that aren't.
    Even if LCW doesn't win gold, at least he got the monkey off his back.

    VA must get his offense going - way too many errors on the attack.
