    Steen is saying Lin Dan can kick in another gear if he feels like it but don't think it's necessary, and GC added he is cruising.

    Not if he thinks he can win. But I think he is being realistic and tries to learn as much as possible.

    mmh why backfire. They know it is at best 50-50. Oth they won the MD1 with Boe/Conrad. I think either way (having Boe/Christiansen for MD2) they are ok with winning one of these two MD as JPN has two reliable strong MD

    Absolutly. Two amazing long and great matches so far. Outclassing?! lol. Maybe LD is know outclassing LDK, but this point is a must for China, no matter what the score was.
    For LD it is so obvious for me that he needs and loves the pressure situations. That's what makes him the mentally best player! Also for Rio this could be the most important weapon ;)

    Lin Dan, whenever he plays like the Lin Dan we know, is always a delight to watch, a wonderment.

    Haha, looks like LD has many versions and thus when he plays badly, there is always an excuse.

    When he plays badly, there won't be any wonderment! :D

    If only Lin Dan plays like that in all his individual tournaments apart from the majors, particularly the Olympics; his sense of duty and responsibility is such a motivation and driving force that it brings out nearly, if not the very, best in him.

    Actually if LD meets a better opponent like CL or LCW, he would not be allowed to play as he likes.
