Professional players and their racquets

Does anyone know if Chen Long was really using axforce during the Olympics or a repainted n55?
Chen Long used the Axforce during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The model is Axforce 80. Chen Long has stopped using the Flame N55 since 2017.

He has been playing with the N55 in many tournaments in 2019 and 2020. In 2018 he used the Calibar 900 and transitioned back to the N55 before using the Axforce in 2021...

From what I can remember he hasn't used any repaints in the past, so I would doubt it.

But keep in mind, that the CP edition rackets (which he most likely is using) can have different specs when compared to the "normal" versions of the racket
 
I'm also very surprised with their choice. Lately many players using Nanoflare series for doubles play. Especially NF700.

I feel Nanoflare 700 is more for Intermediate players, so far i seen mostly ladies mix double, or ladies use Nanoflare 700 rackets.
 
Mads Pieler Kolding switched to a LN 3D Calibar 900, but still wearing Yonex shoes.
Does anybody know his sponsorship status with either brand?

I would assume Mads Pieler Kolding sponsorship is gradually changing. Considering I haven't seen anyone on the Danish badminton team using the 3D Caliber 900 (Drive) racket. Somewhat similar to Yuta Watanabe's equipment in the half end of 2019 (Aeronaut 9000C, Yonex 65 Z 2's).
 
It seems like KV went back with the NF800 with yesterdays match against Wang Tzy Wei, and against Jonotan Christie today he's using the Astrox 99 pro? Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Kunlavut has been using the 88D Pro since Sudirman Cup but it does look like he used the 99 Pro against Jonathan.
