Lin Dan fans always tout that Lin Dan is the strongest and is the first person in the history of badminton, this is because Lin Dan has the most world championships, and whether Lin Dan is recognized as the first person in history.
The number of champions can indeed prove the strength of a player, but it does not mean that his strength is the first in history, such as Lee Changho, who has the most Go championships, his strength at his peak and his current chess players, not to mention Shin Zhenzhen, even Ke Jie He can't play, he has so many world championships mainly because the strength of other chess players of his time is too poor, which makes him win so many world championships. If Lee Chang-ho is at his peak and his current chess player, it is obvious that he will not win so many world championships, and his peak strength is at least one notch worse than Shin Jinzhen. Of course, Lee Chang-ho is down, but Shin Zhenzhen is mainly because the current environment can't be compared, after all, the environment at that time Lee Chang-ho has reached its peak.
The first person in football must be Messi, Messi is indeed the first in history in the number of championships, but the World Cup and the Champions League are not the first in history, but Messi's strength is definitely stronger than all players in history. Of course, it is difficult to say whether there will be a stronger player than Messi in the future, after all, the ability of football players is definitely getting stronger and stronger, but I feel that it is very difficult to have a player like Messi.
The first person in basketball is Jordan, Jordan is not the first in history in terms of the number of individual championships or championships, and even all the technical statistics of basketball Jordan is not the first, but he is still recognized as the first person in basketball, mainly because of Jordan's skills, if there is enough technology, even if the championship is not the most, he will be rated as the first person in history.
The first person in tennis must be Xiaode, whether it is the number of Grand Slam championships or the number of open championships, Xiaode is the first, it can only be said that Xiaode is currently the first in the history of tennis's hard power, after all, it is difficult to say whether there will be more powerful than Xiaode in the future.
Although Lin Dan has the most world champions, but the individual champion is not as good as Li Zongwei, in addition, Lin Dan at his peak is obviously that badminton is not as developed as it is now, the badminton competition at that time is more than 5 countries, and now badminton is fully professionalized, in addition to 5 traditional powers, Japan, India, Hong Kong, China, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, and Singapore all have top men's singles, and the competition is far stronger than the Lin Dan era.
Now the equipment training methods of athletes are stronger than in the past, and the strength of the players will definitely be stronger, it is certain that if Lin Dan plays with his current opponent at his peak, it will be difficult to win so many world championships, after all, it is now an underestimation of Chinese badminton men's singles, and there are no teammates to help Lin Dan cover, and even if there are too many opponents to cover, it will not help Lin Dan.
summary
To evaluate the first person in history, it is not only necessary to look at the personal achievements obtained, but also other factors, such as personal honors, personal data, personal influence, etc., Lin Dan is not consistent with other personal achievements, so Lin Dan is not fully recognized in foreign countries except for the domestic media, and the International Badminton Federation Best Player Points Li Zongwei also surpasses Lin Dan, which shows that the International Badminton Federation recognizes Li Zongwei as the first person in history.
