Chinese badminton players won 2 gold and 4 silver in Dong'ao!
In this competition, only the 32-year-old veteran Chen Long has had the experience of Olympic competition. Previously, foreign media predicted that the Chinese badminton team was not picked up, and only the mixed doubles had the strength to win the championship.
Now in 5 events, all Chinese players have reached the final, in addition to the mixed doubles championship and runner-up, they have also won the women's singles gold medal, the results are not easy to come by, and it is gratifying!
Former world champion Lin Dan's friends also posted a video of Watching Chen Yufei win the championship with Lin Dan's family on social platforms.
Netizens have left messages, saying that the decoration of Super Dan's hometown is very low-key, and the beauty of Lin Dan's wife Xie Xingfang, who watched the ball together, did not diminish that year.
Lin Dan, who is known as the greatest badminton player in this century and even history, has created an unprecedented "double slam" feat, but broke a derailment scandal, the image of a good man collapsed, and the reputation plummeted, and it has been "remembered" by netizens so far.
In July 2020, Lin Dan announced his retirement, goodbye to the jianghu, and the legend is endless.
More than a year has passed, how is Lin Dan who has left everyone's sight?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > synonymous with Chinese badminton men's singles</h1>
Let's go back in time to more than 30 years ago.
In a badminton training class in Longyan City, Fujian Province, a 5-year-old boy came with a tiger's head. He was physically strong, the only kid in the class to play with his left hand, and although his leg pressure hurt him to tears, he never gave up practicing.
This is Lin Dan, tenacious, willing to endure hardships and not accept defeat. The character of a champion may have been planted in infancy.
At the age of 9, Lin Dan entered the Fujian Sports School. Three years later, he won the men's singles championship in the national youth competition, was recruited into the Eight-In-One Workers Brigade, and became a soldier.
While the other children were still lying in the arms of their parents, he had already gone through the test of a soldier and launched a charge toward victory.
In 2000, the 17-year-old Lin Dan entered the national team and gradually became the number one star in the Chinese badminton world.
How good is Lin Dan? In his 20-year career, he has won a total of 66 world championships, winning gold medals in important events such as the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Thomas Cup, and the Sudirman Cup, or two rounds of double slams!
Whenever the chinese flag is raised whenever the game is won, Lin Dan will perform a military salute, which has become his signature action.
Lin Dan is "ambitious" for his career, and low profile has never been his choice. In addition to badminton, he also crossed the fashion industry and business circles, and embarked on an "idol" road.
He deliberately made himself a "tanning", with a dark complexion and hormone-filled image, and has successively appeared on the cover of first-line fashion magazines such as "GQ" and "ELLE MEN", which is a treatment that many film and television stars dare not think.
In 2013, Lin Dan became the guest editor-in-chief of the men's edition of Fashion & Health, interviewing celebrities in each issue, such as former SOHO Chairman Pan Shiyi and former U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke.
At the same time, Lin Dan also founded the personal underwear brand "intimate by LIN DAN", and the brand flagship store was grandly opened in Taikoo Li, Chengdu.
It can be seen that he is trying to copy the way of foreign athletes such as C Luo and Beckham to create a unique "Lindane business empire".
After the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lin Dan overtook Liu Xiang and became the male athlete with the most endorsement brands.
From beverages and badminton products to watches, cars and so on, the categories are very diverse.
According to foreign media reports, Lin Dan's 20-year career in the badminton world has attracted a total of 41 million US dollars (more than 200 million yuan), and there is no doubt that he is one of the most commercially valuable athletes in China.
Everyone says that the career is proud and frustrated, but Lin Dan, whose career and "money road" are going higher and higher, seems to be favored by the goddess of luck, and the love field is also smooth.
In 2010, he married Xie Xingfang, a colleague he had been in love with for many years and the world champion of badminton women's singles.
At the 2012 London Olympic Games, Super Dan defeated "old enemy" Li Zongwei 2:1 to successfully defend the Olympic champion and reach the peak of his fame.
But only 4 years later, Lin Dan, who once again impacted the Olympics, not only scored high and low, but also fell into the "derailment" scandal, and overnight, Super Dan fell to the bottom.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > flaunting personality, super Dan's "double-edged sword"</h1>
Lin Dan was never a "good boy".
As a teenager, he had an argument with Lee Maw, the Chinese coach of the South Korean team, slammed the racket, and was warned by the referee with a yellow card;
He once "went up" because of the verbal altercation, and broke the rumors of punching coach Ji Xinpeng;
He has 5 tattoos all over his left and right arms and the back of his neck...
There are countless rumors about Lin Dan's bad temper and rebellion.
Later, under the persuasion of Xie Xingfang, he woke up and tried to watch "Three Kingdoms", allowing himself to slowly "evolve" and transform into a reliable and mature gentleman image.
But the distinctive personality has not changed, which not only makes Lin Dan extremely aggressive, but also his personal charm is obvious.
It is not so much that he is an athlete as that he is a sports star, and even the "first idol" of the badminton world is not exaggerated, and Lin Dan is obviously enjoying it.
When he became the spokesperson of a high-end luxury brand in Italy, the large-scale photos he took quickly became a hot topic among netizens.
And all this is based on Lin Dan's brilliant record, he has made the relatively niche badminton a popular sport.
The "love and killing" with the famous Malaysian general Li Zongwei has become a legend of the feather world, which makes the younger generations look up to it.
However, the "stone hammer" that derailed Xie Xingfang during her pregnancy made Lin Dan feel accused by thousands of people, and this incident occurred in November 2016. His endorsement quickly collapsed, and there were media reports that Lin Dan lost tens of millions of dollars due to cheating model Zhao Yaqi.
Human nature could not stand the test, and honor put Lin Dan on the altar. In fact, no matter how strong the champion is, he is just an ordinary person.
The disillusionment of the "Divine Eagle Hero" of the feather altar has disappointed many people in Lin Dan. Is an apology useful? The harm to the family has been cast.
At this time, Xie Xingfang, who had recently given birth, stood up, and his wife's forgiveness allowed Lin Dan to take back a city.
Lin Dan was not willing to fall silent. Although he was discredited at the time, at the age of 33 and past the peak of an athlete, he chose to persevere, with the goal of impacting the fifth Olympics , Tokyo in 2020.
As the title of his autobiography, "Until the End of the World," says, he struggled until the very end.
Lin Dan said that this was to set an example for his son, telling him that even in the face of difficult and bitter difficulties, his father never gave up.
In Xie Xingfang's view, this is her husband's nostalgia for the arena. After all, on this stage, he recorded his 20 years of youth and sweat.
At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the 21-year-old Lin Dan was out of the first round and was ridiculed as "Lin Yi Round". In the face of today's age and injury, Lin Dan, who is 30+, seems to have returned to the helplessness of 21 years old.
At that time, Lin Dan proved himself with his achievements, but now it is different.
In order to score points for the Olympics, he traveled everywhere, but the results were not ideal. In 2018, Lin Dan made 9 first-round exits, 8 in 2019 and only 1 in 4 games in 2020. With the outbreak of the epidemic and the suspension of the international badminton league, Lin Dan's chances of playing in the Olympics again are slim.
On July 4, 2020, Lin Dan announced his retirement on social platforms, the year he was 37 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > dedicated his life to badminton</h1>
With the retirement of Lin Dan, he and Li Zongwei, Tawfik and Gade created the "Era of the Four Heavenly Kings" to end.
After years of training and competition life, Lin Dan now has more time to spend with his family, such as picking up and dropping off his son.
In an interview, he said that he now enjoys this life very much.
But Lin Dan has long been determined to dedicate his life to the beloved badminton career, even if the leisurely life feels great, he can't stay idle.
Xie Xingfang has started her own business - maternal and infant products, this time the couple joined hands to create Danhui Sports.
In November 2020, the "Dan Pick" 2020 Lin Dan Badminton Classic was held at the Nansha Stadium in Guangzhou, which was the first battle opened by Danhui Sports, attracting more than 300 amateur high-level players to participate, and at the same time, the Lin Dan Badminton Club was inaugurated.
At the "Dan Pick" badminton classic, which opened in June this year, Lin Dan set the location in Yan'an to pay tribute to the red holy land.
Lin Dan said that he cherished his badminton identity and hoped to continue to promote the development of badminton after retiring.
His new career is moving forward in an orderly manner.
Xie Xingfang became his staunch companion, and after experiencing the infidelity, the couple seemed to have found the right way to get along again.
In addition to business, Lin Dan has made many attacks and frequently tried in other fields. In July last year, he joined the variety show "Sports Bar Youth" and led the sports department teenagers to the championship throne.
Still the self-disciplined Lin Dan, still the Lin Dan who longs for victory, he has changed, but he does not seem to have changed.
No one can retreat from mistakes, no one who makes mistakes will bear the consequences, and superstars have no privileges. After experiencing the baptism of the storm, may Lin Dan cherish the happiness in front of him and usher in the next outstanding "smash".
