[Full] Badminton Lin Dan vs Peter Gade 2012 Copenhagen Masters

[@08sorena]

Lin Dan is an amazing person. Not only in badminton skills also his politeness, kindness and respect for the opponent. Anybody who plays badminton knows Lin Dan just gave a game to Peter Gade as a present. He did not play full force. Lin Dan is a true gentleman and for this, I love him very much and I would never forget him. God bless you, man. Sam- Germany

[@scootpoyo9734]

Ikr. Yet Peter fans still cannot accept the fact by saying that Lin Dan same level as Peter during the game lol. Lin Dan purposely let Peter have huge gap in early game, therefore it gave more challenging to himself to fight. If you realise, instead of let Peter score point himself, Lin Dan mostly gave Peter point by make his own mistake by purposedly hit the net and out the shuttle. Its not fun to him if he all out, well he know he gonna win anyway and it will put Peter on shame lol. Thats how Lin Dan mentally and psychology. Plus its Peter last game.

[@ElTestok]

Actually, giving the game to Peter on purpose can be seen as a sign of disrespect. The Victory means absolutely nothing when you haven't earned it. It would have been much better for Lin Dan to play at full potential. Essentially: *"Because this is your last Match, and because I am your last Opponent, I will show you the Greatest of Respect by giving it my all on the court. I will give you the best of me as a tribute to you for your last Match."* Anybody who gives less than 100% effort on the court is a sign of Disrespect. Anybody who plays Badminton and actually competes in tournaments knows this. One of the worst feelings you can get is when you give everything you have and you know that your opponent is not taking you seriously and just messing around on court.

[@blamepotato8014]

@@ElTestok lmao I'm sure Peter will enjoy it when Lin Dan gave 100% and he lost 4-21 and 5-21 as his last match!

[@qinghaomeng8318]

Lin Dan was a gentle soul and not arrogant. He deliberately give that title to Peter Gade at the end of his career as appreciation of Lin Dan. For the first time in history, champion of chanpions have a good nature and not arrogant. Achievement by Lin Dan will be long remembered in the history of badminton, and is very difficult to match the achievements he had done. you are the best that I have ever seen, Lin Dan.

Never seen Lin Dan play so casually. But these 2 are greats of their respective eras. Though Lin Dan deliberately lost this match, which is very obvious, but respect goes out to both the legends for doing what they have done in their careers.

Lin Dan rarely uses smashes in his game. He plays with the opponents mind by deceiving them completely. Peter Gade is simply awesome too. Fine match for Lin Dan

[@abhishekjaiswal9304]

Reading a lot of comments here, initially it was unbelievable to me that Lin Dan intentionally was not playing to his potential. Later I got to know that this match was an exhibition match between Super Dan and Peter. No doubt, Peter has played his best meanwhile Dan hold himself up a little bit from playing to win. Definitely both have enjoyed playing and Dan probably wanted more with another legend (just a theory) instead of winning and ending this match early. I think all can see that in second last set Dan did not played that much offensive although it was top level play still. And in last set Dan continue to play defensive and keep clearing/dropping even when he was in perfect position to smash. Even though nothing is proved but I'm starting to believe that Super Dan played to enjoy this match than winning actually as he knows it will be last time, Gade would be playing singles professionally. Great match to watch.

[@YouKnowYongHwa]

You don't need to prove it. If you've been following Lin Dan since the beginning, you KNOW he threw this match on purpose. Reason 1 : He was losing 14-4 in the first set. All of his unforced errors that led up until there are for him to show everyone that he can catch up a deficit of 14-4 to win the first set. Reason 2 : At multiple times, he was indeed, like you said, in PERFECT position to finish the point, he just did a drop shop for fun, like he was toying with Gade. Reason 3 : Lin Dan isn't super well known for his acting, you can see that a lot of his shots were forced into the net or out, and even at times, even if he could have defended it, he did not position himself in the middle to block a smash, he would just be standing on one side of the court to let Gade win the point. Reason 4 : 1:07:30, shot was either in or very very close to the line, when have you seen Lin Dan not even caring? Reason 5 : Lin Dan was at his peak from around 2007 to 2013 ish, in no way can Gade, at the end of his career, be able to win Lin Dan, who is known to be the GOAT, but not only that, the most stable and mentally fit player ever in men's singles. Reason 6 : Gade's reaction at the end shows it all, he was happy to win, but not with immense joy, he knew very well that Lin Dan didn't play at his full potential. Reason 7 : How could someone beat Gade in front of his home crowd on his LAST match, and not feel bad for doing it? Of course he would let Gade win. Or do you want to hear the stadium boo-ing?

The superior skills of Peter Gade were on full display here. Had he been 10 years younger, both Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei would not have dominated badminton as they have over the last 15-20 years. Peter clearly dominated the much younger Lin Dan here who looked bewildered and clueless throughout the match. Just imagine what would have happened had Peter were much younger.

well if you understand badminton a little bit it would be so obvious that Lin Dan didn't even do smash shots in the second and third game; and in the first game he deliberately played shots that are too wide to give points and still made a come back in the end. All these are obvious proofs, and if you choose to ignore them, it only shows that you don't know badminton at all 😂
