Lee Chong Wei himself is a great athlete. I believe the fans admire his spirit. His environment is very different from Lin Dan, but for a long time he was the only athlete in the world. A player who can compete with Lin Dan.
After the Incheon Asian Games, Lin Dan said something meaningful, Lee Chong Wei is an excellent player, but I have a better team. Well-known sports commentator Yang Hua believes that Lee Chong Wei is actually not fighting Lin Dan, but fighting the entire national badminton team, the entire Olympic strategy, and the entire gold medal mechanism! If Lin Dan were a Malaysian golfer and Lee Chong Wei was the top national badminton player, would history be rewritten? Will fate be reversed? Famous badminton coach Li Mao, Indonesian star Ye Chengwan, and CCTV celebrity Hong Gang have all bluntly said that from a purely technical perspective, Lee Chong Wei is not only no worse than Lin Dan, but is even more delicate! Compared to Lin Dan's muscular body, Lee Chong Wei can simply be described as skinny. Some people even ridiculed "Dat" like an "anorexia patient." Lin Dan has never had a major injury in his career, but Lee Chong Wei has endured a long period of injuries and a fragile mentality in key balls. Lee Chong Wei did not have high-level teammates to practice with in Malaysia, so he had to be a "trapeze artist" and compete non-stop for training, which consumed a lot of his energy. The long-term physical wear and tear also caused him various injuries. In the 2012 London Olympics, he relied on painkillers and painkillers to last until the end; in the 2013 World Championship finals between Lin and Li, Lee Chong Wei was exhausted and cramped in the decisive game and was carried out on a stretcher; in the 2014 Thomas Cup, he wanted to try acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine methods many times. Relieve severe pain; before the 2014 World Championships, in order to get over the injury as quickly as possible, stem cell injection was used. This immature technology even had the risk of stimulating tumors.
In contrast, Lin Dan is undoubtedly happy and lucky. He does not have to worry about not having a high-quality training partner, a world-class team guarantee, and a strong support team behind him. Lin Dan can withstand the polishing of the years. After signing the sponsor contract for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, it is largely due to the help of his teammates, the contribution of the coaching team, and the guarantee of the national badminton team. These are things that Lee Chong Wei, who works alone, does not possess.

Lee Chong Wei’s tragic experience sometimes makes people have to believe in fate. Many times, whether it is the men's singles final of the Beijing Olympics or the championship battle of the London Olympics, when one epic badminton battle after another ends, a similar scene will always appear on the court: Lee Chong Wei lost, He half-crouched in his corner and wiped the tears from his eyes with a towel. Under his thoughtful expression, he could not hide the great pain from his heart and his unyielding struggle against fate. Perhaps he once again firmly said to himself in the depths of his heart: "Next time! I will definitely win next time! At the age of 36, I will win." Even if he fights against a twenty-year-old boy, he can still get more than 400 kills. No amount of professional athletes can learn from his spring legs.
He has neither been overrated nor underestimated. In the badminton world, ask yourself, does he still need a world champion to prove his strength?
