During the Olympic final he wore these shoes: And during Peter Gade's retirment match in Copenhagen he wore those shoes and this shirt: What does this number mean to him or to us? Just very curious if anyone knows
Someone has mentioned it before. I think it is related to the number of big Titles that LD has collected,
That's right, the number 17 refers to the 'World Championship' Team and Individual titles garnered by Lin Dan which to CBA means the Olympics, World Championships, Thomas/Uber Cups, Sudirman Cup, and the (now defunct) World Cup.
