After Lin Dan retired, did The National Feather really decline? If you only look at the men's singles project, The national feather is indeed not as good as before, but from the perspective of the comprehensive 5 projects, the dominance of the national feather is still very good. For example, at this year's Badminton World Championships, Guo Yu won 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze results, the women's doubles won the gold medal, and the women's singles Chen Yufei also advanced to the final, and finally won the silver medal. Mixed doubles won gold and bronze medals, men's singles also won bronze medals, the overall results are remarkable.
It's just that the current situation of the men's singles of national feathers does make many fans feel worried. After all, Guoyu needs a person to stand up and take over the men's singles flag, otherwise it is really difficult to compete with Danish Olympic champion Arcelong. You know, Arcelor has won 37 consecutive wins, such as Lin Dan, a star with super dominance, and the record of winning streaks at the peak of his career is only 31 consecutive wins. It can be seen that if the men's singles wants to win the Olympic championship again, it must cross the mountain of Arcelor.
Speaking of Arcelorne, we have to mention the World Championships. After all, Acelon won the men's singles gold medal at this year's Badminton World Championships and is in excellent form. However, there is one thing that many fans do not know, that is, in the men's singles final between Arcelor and Quinlavut, the three major badminton world champions Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai and Cai Yun served as commentators in China, which is also the debut of Lin Dan's commentary career. The commentators on the same stage also have badminton Olympic champion Gao Ling, and the commentary lineup is really very strong!
After the end of the commentary, Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai and Cai Yun, the three world champions, took a group photo in the same frame. Lin Dan dyed a white hair quite fashionable, but the skin color appeared to be darker, and some fans ridiculed Lin Dan as if he had just returned from coal mining in Africa. On the other hand, Bao Chunlai, who is the same age as Lin Dan, is 39 years old this year, and Bao Chunlai is even younger. Cai Yun is 42 years old this year, which is equivalent to the existence of the big brother level, but Cai Yun smiled at the group photo, which is really too joyful!
In fact, the program team selected retired stars as commentators, which not only allowed these world champions to relive the charm of badminton, but also allowed fans to better understand their recent situation. For example, after Lin Dan retired, he rarely appeared in the public eye, until the debut of the commentary, fans can see Lin Dan appear on the screen again. I sincerely hope to continue this tradition and let more retired stars explain the game, they can explain the technical characteristics from a professional perspective, and at the same time, they can also close the distance with the fans, which is definitely a win-win situation.
Finally, I still have to say more, the national feather men's singles really have to jump out of the comfort zone as soon as possible. Although it is a gain to win the bronze medal at the World Championships this time, it is also an indisputable fact that the men's singles of the national feathers has missed the final of the World Championships for three consecutive years. It is expected that the men's singles of the national feather can recover as soon as possible, and strive to win the gold medal of the men's singles again in the next international competition, so that the overall team strength of the national feather is more balanced!
