The 2008 Olympics was like the god of badminton coming to earth, complete dominance, never getting tired, unbelievable

[@lifeisajourney4237]

2008年的李宗伟只是一流高手，他还不属于超一流高手，手臂都还没有练出来。In 2008, Lee Chong Wei was only a first-class master, he is not yet a super-class master, and his arms have not yet been trained.

Lin Dan has won gold medals in Olymics, World Champions, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, World Cup and other major world class competetions TWICE (With some of them more than twice). And Lee Chong Wei has won Champions in EVERY SINGLE super series that BWF organized. They are both legends that people will never forget.

[@traytyler9951]

Lee was never able to win Olympics, world championships nor Asian games because he kept losing to Lin

[@trannguyennhathoang1151]

The moment LD won the gold in Olymic 2012 My heart just broke seeing LCW collapsed

[@bamboospout]

Yeah. Both are champions. It's always bittersweet. LCW, without the extensive support of a powerful country like LinDan does, was able to accomplish so much. If there was no LinDan, perhaps LCW would be the GOAT without contest, but perhaps without LinDan, LCW would not have reached the level he did. With LinDan, they pushed each other forward, and we got to see the best the sport has to offer.

[@ariathyf144]

The matches from 2004 will be very precious to share, He was still perfecting his game at that time and his mindset was not fully under control yet. We all would love to see what the play style of the uncut diamond was like.. showing his earlier qualities, different footwork, attacking strategies. Something that is missing on his post Olympic era is the hunger He had for the win. We can't blame him after his achievements including team events which are setting records for this sport. He was frightening on his attacking shots alone like nothing shown on court before.. but that wasn't enough for him as He kept pushing his stats in other areas of the game. Just watch how we won his last Malaysia Open. Tactically he is godly mixing straightforwardness, creativity and guts. It's a shame that Time is getting the best of him reducing his options, forcing him into defense, cutting his space.
