Of course, I'm aware of that when I looked at their H2H. It still doesn't invalidate the point I'm making. Remember, it's the majors that I'm emphasizing and Chen Long succeeded twice, in WC'14 and WC'15, with two other non-major victories in-between for a 4-match winning streak, incidentally.
Talking about 4-match winning streaks, Chen Long achieved it twice against LCW before but, to my surprise, this record was broken by none other than Lin Dan who beat LCW 5 times in a row, from
All England Mar'12,
then LOG'12,
World Championships '13,
Incheon Asian Games'14, and finally,
the Japan Open Sep'15 !
If I remembered correctly LD also trashed LCW in the last set of AG 2014.
For an event as big as Olympics, only player with the strongest mental to handle the big and overwhelming pressure could prevail. And only LD that has proven he could do it twice as a solid guarantee he could do it for the one last time.
When it comes to Olympics, it comes down to who has the biggest state of MENTAL and mind which LD's already gifted with.
