Lin Dan ( 林丹 )

As usual, whenever a major event draws nearer, these threads suddenly have an influx of activity. Pity the moderators (kwun) who already have to put out a warning sign.

Nothing really new....*yawn*.

LCW has to win all rounds, otherwise that's the end for Malaysia. When LD plays, he knows that if his other teammates are still in the running, China can still win the title.

However, when LD faces LCW at Finals Day, both of them must be feeling equal pressure.

I would rather not be in LCW's shoes. The pressure on him starts from Day 1. Whereas for LD, the pressure only starts later; from the time after all his teammates have been eliminated.

Who does not have to win all rounds in order to win the tourney? LOL

In recent years, which tourney that LCW participated in had different scenario than what you'd describe above? Kindly enlighten me.

I doubt you can handle it as well as LCW seriously.

A warning sign ?

While players are getting ready to do battle, BCers are already doing the battles for them (their idols).

As long as opponents (Badminton players) of BCers' idols are not hurt (not treated with disrespect), our moderators and kwun should be happy.

China can still win the title without Lin Dan; Malaysia cannot if without Lee Chong Wei. That's why LD doesn't have as much pressure as LCW.

Anyway, I shall leave this topic now.

Who am I to speak for Lin Dan (or Lee Chong Wei)?

I am a bit schizophrenic as a fan :-)

On one hand I would like Lin Dan to win, as I think his top-game is the most beatiful and powerful.
On the other hand I like LCW as a person and would really like to see him to win one of these big medals.

Darn.. cant they both get a gold-medal??

cheers,
Towbeer

Easy, both withdraw in the Final due to "injury"

**badMania** · 07-31-2011, 07:07 PM

The best of both worlds - Peter Gade finally wins his first World Championships title

**pBmMalaysia** · 07-31-2011, 07:16 PM

So here's something new ....

Lcw and ld predicted out in wc 12 due to injury and pg grabs the title?

Wow just wow ....

Just let them all play as much as they can. We will miss them very very much when they are not around (although I suspect Peter Gade will still be playing when the OG2016 comes around!

) Compared to these 4 legends, the rest of the MS players feel so very ordinary (sadly!)

From what I see; Chen Long is catching up, closer and closer, with Lin Dan.

Let's wait and reread what we have said in a couple of years' time.

**pBmMalaysia** · 08-01-2011, 04:02 AM

But will Chen long be the same as Lin Dan in the years to come?

Unlike Lin Dan who has the retired legendary coach tang beside him.

Unless there is another undiscovered legendary coach somewhere..

no

About LD's chances in the WC 2011...

I notice his quarter is packed with some pretty tough lefties. LD has not performed as well against lefties. He's probably going to have a tough time making it to the semis.

At that stage, he will have to re-calibrate his game to perform against right-handers.

It should be interesting to watch how he adapts.

I know one thing he can do

Start saying right is left and left is right ...straight after the semi final
