I think we should thank, first, Chou Tien Chen, Avihingsanon Suppanyu, Kanta Tsuneyama, and Shi Yuqi, in that order before we thank Chen Long.
The way Lin Dan won Chou Tien Chen, Shi Yuqi and Chen Long make me admire him. It seems to me that he's just taken the third Olympic gold medal. My favorite play is Nishimoto, and if Nishimoto can win one of them (Chou, Shi, Chen) I will get joy the whole day. But Lin Dan can "triple it". Amazing!
Check out highlights of the final match between LD & Chen Long. Truly happy for LD to win and LCW was there to congratulate him.
