How little margins decide everything?

Had LCW not hit this shuttle in the net(which was obviously going wide even off the doubles' sideline)

He would have run away with the first set and probably the Olympic Gold

I didn’t see the clip of the video. If I’m not wrong, it is the desperation defense of CL that led to LCW finding the net. As the shuttle decides to stay on LCW’s side, you should see the jubilation in the face of CL, and an utter dejection in the face of LCW. Imo, this was defining moment of that finals, that derailed LCW, but pumped up CL. Sports is sometimes cruel

I'm sorry I can't translate an entire episode and there's no English CC, but for those who knows Mandarin, here's a LCW feature by China's SETV on him looking back on his career.

There was no need to be dejected for Lee Chong Wei. The smash return was going so wide that Court 2 players might have been licking their lips.

Believe me when I say this with a lot of weight on my soft heart, this was the worst ever judgement regarding a line call by a player in the history of any racquet sport.

He took the shuttle that would be going not only wide but also wide off the doubles sideline.
 
Definitely wide but not that wide. Sometimes you see the opportunity for an easy kill and don’t take the chance. It’s not really a conscious choice. It was certainly a pivotal point in the game.

It was definitely wide. I’m not conflicting that. I’m just saying how just one shot in a rally can sometimes change the outcome of a match

I don't agree. There are 21 point in a set.if you lose this point, forget it and move on. That should be a pro attitude.
I have upmost respect for lcw. He's a true legend. Although didn't win any olympics gold or world championship, he stay at world ranking no 1 longer than anyone else in history. Not to forget his doping case which he slide down to rank 108 and within 5 months, he climb back to no 1. He's a true fighter.

You have made three posts with a link that leads to nothing. The next trick shot will be deleting any posts with adfoc in them.

I checked it out and it actually led to somewhere but, first, HTTPS Everywhere says it's unsafe (proceed anyway) which I did (bravely, out of curiosity), then it went to adfoc.us where you have to wait a six-second countdown before a 'skip' button appears at the top right-hand corner, press it and the youtube video appears.
 
To be fair. They are frustrated fans who want to see them win.

The problem now is goh was injured and she still want to go knowing she wont make it. Now, the lost all the matches making it worse. She didnt take docs advice some more in her own admittance in fb. Even chan play so crappy without attacking the female.;)

A bit selfish perhaps? Why not let tan and lai go? Now tan and lai may not even got to play in og in next 3 years. Be kind and give chance for others to play la. ;)

LCW is Chef De Mission for Msia for Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

It is his job to speak up for the athletes. It is not just LCW speaking as a retired badminton player but as the CDM.
This is why he spoke up so fast.

Like LCW say in Astro interview "It doesnt matter win or lose, I am there. For me, the responsibility is same because I'm as the CDM. Win, I am there. Lose, I am there"(translated from malay)


I think what LCW meant is Win or lose he as the CDM is there for the athletes.

Normally in the past the Sports Minister will say something to defend the athletes but this time LCW faster.
Most notably was criticism towards dressing woman's gymnastics muslim athlete. Farah Ann always gets the brickbats on this.
