lin dan has shown the world how badminton is played in this 21st century, displaying his skills in the net and his jumping cross court smashes. he has thrilled us for quite a number of years and has won practically any tournament there is to win and beating every player there is to beat. but all this winnings are no easy tasks, it takes courage, determination and pain to train and win. and he has make his fame and fortune now, probably the richest badminton player in the world. until his recent performances shocked the whole world, first, losing to a very very low rank player then start skipping 2 big tournaments and finally defeated by his countrymen and again by his formal rival. are we seeing the end of lin dan and does he want us to remember him as a legend...like this?
this post was specially posted for your response, cooler. you really take care of this thread 'lin dan' ...
this thread was created in 2004, back then: 1. i didn't even follow LD, he wasn't even in my radar screen coz he didn't won anything significant. In fact i wasn't even following international players. Thx to u guys, i now can says things about them lol 2. u weren't even here, u were still working toward your level 1 coaching certificate.
then why keeping blaming on the LD's fans? it is obviously u got nothing material to add to this thread except trying to bait other to go off topics
Looks like without 'the thing' accompany Lin dan in international tournament, things doesn't get right for Lin dan..
according to one bc member from china (sorry forgot the name), said the thing took one year leave to teach his son in fujian! that means lin dan has not been under him coaching, however but he did mentioned the thing will be in tc as counselor!
Today's CCTV sports coverage shows LD being interviewed. When asked for the reason why he lost twice, in the AE and the Swiss Open, he blamed it on lack of competitive play against international players, due to too many commitments in the domestic league.
that sound familiar - was it lcw said sometimes ago in malaysia and thought of going to china to play the league but bam refused?
so what happen here? the world is going round? lcw made that statement earlier now lin dan also made! luckily lcw didn't go or else end up a loose cannon! hopefully things change for lin dan and china ba looks into it but i still have a feeling something isn't right here!
