    I haven't been able to follow badminton much these days since I've been coping with my studies but after watching the 2016 Olympic Finals between Lee Chong Wei and Chen Long, I have to say that that's the best I've ever seen Chen Long play and it sparked my passion in the sport once again. It's just like how Lin Dan reached his pinnacle in 2008 Olympic Games. That suddenly brought me to the question: Would Chen Long of the 2016 Olympic Finals beat Lin Dan of the 2008 Olympic Finals?
