I don't think we can know if LD is the best MS player ever, but I think it's safe to say that he has raised the benchmark in which we compare greatness in MS. The next "best player ever" will have to at least win an Olympics (maybe 2), a couple of WC, a couple of AE, and a bunch of SSP and SS, while playing a rival who is equally as dominating in his own right.
The walkovers definitely is a demerit to his impressive resume, no question! However, he can crank it up when he needed to, it's like having 3 nitro buttons.
and perhaps another book at the LCW thread and yet another and another on Peter Gade and Taufik Hidayat AND SO MANY MORE. Quite unfair to include or exclude someone don't you think?
LD had two tattoo in his hands. On the right hand is writing FF (Fang Fang) and on the left hand is writing five stars shape (don't know what it's mean).
A very nice line from Lin Dan in the post-match interview: I hope the injury doesnt affect him too much (other words, wishing Lee Chong Wei a speedy recovery) because he needs to represent Malaysia in the London Olympics and we will meet again. Best one i heard so far from this great man..he is more in awe of Lee Chong Wei than himself lol!
So does this jinx thingie means LD will not win OLY12 gold or jinxie stuff does not apply since LD won by WO...oh! also ZYL/TQ won AE12 WD so OLY12 gold is out then right?
I am quite worried too because of the jinx will apply regardless of how he won the match.. But hey I hope this is be broken one day. Lin Dan sounded very determined to meet Lee Chong Wei again in the Olympics which means nobody can stop him from doing so even Chen Jin or Gade. Let's see if the God of Badminton can change the course of fate. As for ZYL/TQ, I am optimistic they wont win the Olympics...clearly Wang/Yu lost on purpose i dont know why. Never seen such powerful pair to lose in straight games so quickly plus to a pair they were familir with and beaten for so many occasions.. Yup the jinx will apply but again Lin Dan would prove my ridiculous claim WRONG
WHAT! Now, you say your claim is ridiculous I totally believe your theory on jinxing, I thought you have scientific poof! err, I mean proof I am sure LYB/ZN read your posts and issue team order to YY/WXL to bugger off and let ZYL/TQ win, also CHN XD pairs to lose too. As for LD, he want to lose too but that LCW fella purposely fake injury to let LD win and get that AE jinxy on him. I am quite sure of that. Now, LD is in deep crap up to his neck
Regardless the jinx will apply or not... We might once again witness the clash of two Badminton Men-Singles Giants in this era..LD vs LCW in London Olympic Games 2012...
Do you mean it is Chinese flag? Waw, Lin Dan is really a patriot Anyway, congratulations to Lin Dan for winning the 5th All England title Yes, it was not fair caused LCW injured. And, that case will be happen to everyone and that time for Lin Dan
I think LD should give a little credit to Lee Hyun Il, who made LCW work hard in the semi-final which probably help aggravate LCW's shoulder. Congrat to LD.
Not only Lee Hyun Il but also Taufik Hidayat and Kenichi Tago who is defeated Chen Jin and Chen Long.
What's up with the jinx. Just one person started to talk about the jinx and now it's everywhere. Wake up guys, there's no such thing as a jinx. It is impossible for someone to just suddenly lose because he won the AE.
LD was so lucky there is not woman. So that he doesn't need to explain to XXF Anyway, LD looks so cute in that picture.
