those are my signature subtle remarks hidden under unrecognisable wit. '' Lin Dan has refused to join China Masters BWF 100 under any circumstance'' = Lin Dan hasn't entered China Masters. It will take time for you to enjoy this art of trolling known as ;'Fresh Air' by humour Intelligentistas.
Lin Dan ranked 22nd most Influential Athlete in China, Chen Long 33rd. Zhang Jike number 1 followed Ma Long and Ning Ding.
I got this info below: 24/3/18 - Lin Dan has been back to his hometown, Shang Hang and visited his primary school. He had a memorable moment with teachers and students. Lin Dan is playing badminton with teachers and students from his primary school.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Shanghang is a populous county in Longyan municipality, where Lin Dan was born, in Fujian province, according to Wikipedia.
SECRET NEWS OF THE DAY : Singapore will keep a close eye on Xiao Yu's Badminton results and could launch talks with parents Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang under 'Foreign Talent Recruitment' policy.
Xie Xingfang revealed Lin Dan improved his fitness for YONEX ALL ENGLAND by playing high intensity Football with friends.
Not surprising as Lin Dan is known to enjoy playing football (soccer, to be exact) with friends. A good way to build stamina or endurance, and it brings the fun back into physical training for him, a motivating factor, as, otherwise, I suspect he may have the tendency to skive during normal routine physical training, either out of boredom or laziness, or both. Just saying. Still he has to be careful not to get carried away risking injury. Recall, in 2014, after clinching the Incheon Asian Games MS gold, he injured his knee while playingsoccer with friends, which he claimed was the worst injury sustained in his career. And, subsequently, for the whole of 2015 he suffered like 16 (or was it 12?) defeats, the nadir of his performance in his entire career up till now. By the way, the video shows them playing soccer on volleyball courts indoor, certainly not on badminton courts in CBA.
That's my understanding based on the American Heritage Dictionary, Collins English Dictionary , and Random House Webster's College Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, and a few others. Say, from Cambridge Dictionary, both English and American versions https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/football Apparently, in UK, it's football, in US, it's soccer, where in the American version, it says: Football also means soccer in most of the world. For me, I prefer to call it soccer to differentiate from American football where the English version of the Cambridge Dictionary also defines it as : [ U ] us uk American football a game for two teams of eleven players in which an oval ball is moved along the field by running with it or throwing it
One more definition from the Oxford Living Dictionaries (© 2018 Oxford University Press) https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/football Definition of football in English: football NOUN 1 mass noun Any of various forms of team game involving kicking (and in some cases also handling) a ball, in particular (in the UK) soccer or (in the US) American football.
That's according to the dictionary definitions that I refer to. OTOH, football is the name used in many countries outside the U.S. Anyway, football or soccer, to be honest, it's not my cup of tea. Never mind.
Rest of The World: Let's agree to use kilograms as weight standard measurement. USA: Screw it! I am using pounds! RoTW: What?! Okay.. Are you going to shorten it to pds? USA: Screw it! It would be lbs! RoTW: But.. How.. Sure, whatever dude
