Current holders of Sudirman, Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, Five WCs and Olympic Gold Medals? A record that can never be broken. Good luck to the rest of the countries.
hmm, let's see what had CHN done in the past 4 years. clean swept in AE 2009 clean swept in WC 2010 clean swept in WC 2011 clean swept in LOG 2012!! that's a record indeed, a very nice one. it's the 3rd consecutive time CHN 5 vs 0 THE WORLD, if we won't include the AE 2009. let's just see what will happen in 2013 WC.
All these clean sweeps except 2010 are done by Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng and Lin Dan With these three together, China is unstoppable.
Btw, while everyone is completely overwhelmed by Lin Dan's achievement today: Here is another interesting fact to present: Lin Dan's victory today has earned himself his 50th career title at the age of 28. Can he go for a 100 should he continue ?
Yah, but results have to be in the light of the standard of the opponent as well.. If you timed warped him to 2012 he would loose badly!! Just watch the games, it's not even close to todays standards. It's called progress .. Even if the Nokia 3310 was the BEST year 2000, it should be obvious to most people that the progress has made it not comapre favourably with the latest Samsung Galaxy 3...
Lin Dan post match interview: [video=youtube;TtFFAvo8sNE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtFFAvo8sNE&feature=share[/video]
translation please? what i can get based on my poor mandarin: LD said: we are more matured (than 4 years ago). LCW's foot injury limit his movement, so i actually received some advantage for my win? will have some time with LCW to enjoy many things in London outside of badminton thing, no more topic on match, no nervous, just exploring many interesting things as friend? even if i get gold, silver or bronze, it's not important. after some 'tornado' in badminton few days ago, i only hope my match vs LCW can change people mind on badminton (and it's athletes)? please CMIIW. really want to know the content of interview. hehe
Lin Dan has won the Olympic gold in Asia and Europe. He should strive to win the gold again in South America (Rio).
Who cares about those two ...... These are the titles that matter : All England, World Super Series, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, World Champ, Olympic Games, Asian Games, World Cup... Those two are just the same as the rest of the SS titles he won. So no difference.
hahaha calm down my son. just maybe Lin Dan wants to add some new titles to his collection. He's already won WCs and Thomas Cups, maybe he wants to add variety to his collection of medals instead of just adding to existing titles
at the end of the day, we could keep making up new records for him to achieve, but let's be honest, he has nothing left to achieve.
No, at least he must help China surpass Indonesia by winning the Thomas Cup the sixth time. They havent announced yet which country is going to host it. But one thing is certain..all Olympic gold medallists will be fielded in the first team line-up for Sudirman Cup 2013 in KL.
Congratulations to the best MS shuttler of all time. A valiant effort from LCW, but this stamps authority, to be recognised as the man that has won it all.
Sudirman Cup 2013 Team China: MS Lin Dan WS Li Xuerui MD Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng WD Zhao Yunlei - Tian Qing XD Zhao Yunlei - Zhang Nan
Disaster...a person who stays in that team without any merit. LYB needs to go...i hope he gets fired after the Olympics.
