he humbled every single player in the world.. well almost.. he had perfect record in the China badminton league... he humbled LCW to tears in his own home .. what else? he was world champion 3 or 4 times and counting. he won gold medal in olympic.... what else he never suffers from big tournament syndrome... what else he has talismanic sifu s as his advisors.. .there is no reason he should lose this one what else? is there actually anything new to talk about anymore?
Seems like you've been hatching this devious plan for a while. Are you planning to bring a piano to the stadium?
where was the piano? guess what was stopping him was the report CN team secret agents gave him, they said 'no chance to beat Taufik these days' - so he wanted to avoid to get smashed tomorrow - that's all. Anything else is a rumor!
once again it shows that Lin Dan is just a human afterall. human by our nature has ups and downs. today was a down day for him.
Maybe he just realized that he forgot something to do back in china...=P. Yeap..This does suprises me alot. While for TH,i heard some people talking about TH's performance these days was great.But i didn't really believe it after i saw the tournament software's results,that he won over LCW,even though in three sets.I believe he made a come back this time after a while.
it was bizarre? have no clue what it means here. could be the scoreline, linecalls, wind in the the stadium, the french crowd, shuttle speed, media pressure, park sung hwans clothes, ...what was it?
Actually it was not so much his concentration but his composure. In other words, anxiety got to him and his mental strength let him down. Take nothing away from PSH, he played a terrific game and executed his game plan perfectly.
I dont agree - this way one can explain any sport result. No force, no mental, no professional technique - only bad and good days?? LD WAS good enough (before) to not lose such matches even in his bad days
Quite possibly, it could be lack of tournament preparation. We know he hasn't played much. A tournament requires several matches in a row so he had lost the 'touch' or 'rhythm' in a tournament.
I want to beat someone to the punch and just say... ...another myth vs reality thread. whatever that really means
i remember 4 or 5 years ago, LD said his real enemy now was PSH not TH anymore..LD lose 2 times in a row from PSH that time
