On April 29, Beijing time, Xia Xuanze, the head coach of the Chinese badminton team, revealed that Lin Dan recently took a leave of absence to go home to see his children, and wrote a leave note to go back, but Lin Dan has made it clear that he still wants to continue to fight to see if he can participate in next year's Tokyo Olympic Games. Tang Xianhu, a national famous player who brought Lin Dan into the hall of world champions in 2005, said at the end of last year: "Lin Dan (playing the Tokyo Olympics) is not completely impossible, the key is to see if his own motivation is strong." ”
The following is Xia Xuanze's comments on the current situation of the three main men's singles players in the tokyo Olympics postponed by one year due to the epidemic -
Chen Long: Chen Long is older (he turned 31 years old in January this year). Slowly I will get older. However, it was also mentioned some time ago that Coach Li Mao brought him some new things after he came, so I think it was also through this period of time to carry out some run-in.
Shi Yuqi: In terms of time, it is indeed for Shi Yuqi, and it may be more conducive to recovery for athletes with injuries, and it may be conducive to the adjustment of foot recovery. But for an athlete, every year changes, and some things in the future are unpredictable. So what we are talking about to Shi Yuqi now, first of all, we should cure the injury and adjust the competitive state to the best. His whole treatment of injuries and injuries, the treatment of the foot is still good. But the foot is cured, and other problems will arise. So including some time ago, the foot was worn out again, the soles of the feet were long, and there were some problems.
Lin Dan: Lin Dan also proposed to take leave to go home to see the child, at present, he is based on his situation, according to his previous leave of absence, he went back to accompany the child, maybe three weeks. He still wants to continue to fight for the Olympics.
Since 2004, Lin Dan has participated in four consecutive Olympic Games and won two men's singles gold medals. He is still full of longing for the Tokyo Olympics. Lin Dan is now fifth in the Men's Singles team and will not be able to get tickets to the Tokyo Olympics until he rises to the top two.
In 2004 Athens Olympic Games Lin Dan encountered a round of travel, in 2005 the national feathers invited back the old coach Tang Xianhu to bring Lin Dan as the world champion, so now 36 years old Lin Dan is still OK? Tang Xianhu was interviewed by CCTV at the end of November last year, and he said: "Lin Dan's physical strength is relatively poor, but whether he can play his strengths, everything is, (going to Tokyo Olympics) is not to say that it is completely impossible." Can I use some of my opponent's play to play to my strengths? Can it be done? First of all, look at whether his own motivation is strong or not. ”
