L. Dan v Lee C.W.|MS-F| Wang Lao Ji BWF World Champ.2013 

That has to be one of Lin Dan's most impressive performances out of all the years I've been watching. IMO his combination of precision shots and excellent movement was so beautiful to watch. If he maintained this sort of form up until now I have no doubt he'd still easily be the best in mens singles.

lee chong wei no matter whether you lose or not, u are my idol! your attitude towards the game and your outlook of life have always astounded me. you never fail to impress me every game. keep up the good work, I LOVE U!!!

All of the supporters keep chanting 'LEE CHONG WEI JIA YOU' during that 20th point. Greaat sporting spirits. Regards from Malaysia.

From the way those audiences encourage the players, you know that the Chinese audience is the one who really understands and loves this sport.

he broke the heart of LCW again... (and the gillian's heart too...)

Anyone rewatching this during 2020 covid19 pandemic?

1st game starts at 6:57 2nd game: 37:50 3rd game: 1:02:37

To anybody who's saying crap about LCW playing for bookies or being paid by the CBA, unless you have definite, rock-solid proof for that being an actual fact (come on, post it on the internet if you are so confident), please keep the bullshit to yourself (because that's where it belongs). LCW can't play at his top speed because Lin Dan forces him to. If you people actually understand something about badminton, you'll notice from all the other matches that Lin Dan is a much smarter player than the vast majority of the current badminton players. He is capable of dictating the rally pace while LCW is just heavily relaying on his athletic abilities (speed, balance). With all these years, it's a shame that LCW didn't get smarter, but got brutally stronger instead. Take the semi-final of Lin Dan vs T.M. Nguyen for example. TM is one of the fastest players out there who can outspeed a lot of players, he wasn't capable of playing at the speed he craves because Lin Dan's shots' quality is too damn high, every single shot pushes TM to his limits, hence Lin Dan can play the rallies with the pace he likes.

5:33 drop shot without turning 10:09 smash to backhand side, flick to forehand backcorner

Lin Dan = Wonderful

What an incredible player is LIN DAN. Best player ever, anctious to see you back !!

18:17 That legend trick ! No one can replace him !

People always complain about how bad China is, accusing them of cheating by turning off AC, paying LCW to lose, and loads of other nonsense - while not only disrespectful to China as a sporting nation it also insults LCW as a sportsman. To suggest that LCW would give up the chance to make Malaysian history for money probably suggests that those upset about his loss do not truly respect his integrity as an athlete and believe him to be no better than other "cheaters". Furthermore look at how much the Chinese fans respect LCW - the whole stadium cheering for him to carry on when he was down, while playing in the final against the home favorite in the host nation. This would most likely never be seen in Malaysia where fans boo every time a player from another country plays a shot in the rally. Some of the radical Malaysian fans should reconsider their values because what they do often says more about themselves than it does to anyone they try to insult.

It seems like the fans also in some sort of competition 🤣 ... love the crowd ❤️

I love Lin Dan's style of playing

18:05 and 19:39 Great deceptions by Lin Dan!!!

I watching back because news LCW retired from Badminton...terima kasih atas jasa selama 19 tahun dan jaga kesihatan..

Lin win loss record is 460-60 Just amazing

If LD had not gotten that wildcard to enter the tournament, LCW could have one world championship title under his belt. LD’s wildcard was fully deserved though…

Never get boring to watch this game over and over again. Both of them have superior deception techniques. I'm learning forehand slice drop shot just by watching their matches.

both my idol

Always love to see both of them played against each other. Lin Dan is fantastic and Lee either. Ps. really bored when people talking about cheating in such a great game like this! -*- Come on it's not the first time Lee defeated by Lin Dan!!!

Just look at aerial over view. LCW moves lot all over the court compared to Lin Dan. LD moves very little on the court. Amazing. And his over head toss are accurately placed in to the base line.

I love u lee chong wei.. You are the one for me

Lee is the legend....well experienced and most senior player in the badminton world right now.

Both are the best player.

Great sportsman spirit by Lin

1:23:26 crazy defence, 1:19:59

how is it even possible, lin dan drops to 40-smth rank in the world and still wins whatever he wants. omfg!

Lee chong wei .king of badminton from malaysia

My left ear enjoyed this at the start

Amazing badminton

Never gets tired watching this...who can fill these big shoes???

17:00のジャッジは微妙な感じですが、驚いている様子に注目です。

feel for Lee Chong Wei, he is such a great badminton player, but he shouldn't go to almost every single tournament. It keeps him the World No. 1 tittle, but in return the constant matching and traveling tires him and perpetuates his injury. Lin Dan, on the other hand, only goes to the big tournaments. Lin did/still does not have world rank, and in this particular World Championship he wasn't even seeded and ironically needed wild card to get in. Wish Lee Chong Wei the best, he doesn't need Olympic Gold medal or World Champion tittle to prove that he is one of the greatest badminton players in his time, but sure the Gold will give us closure when he retires.

1:38:55

Every so often I come back to re watch this match

great passion and friendship !!!!

1:40:50 Best scene ever!!!

defending champion and being no.1 is completely different

Amazing match well done lindan and bad look for lcw but still an amazing player maybe next year lcw!!!

Total dominant by lin dan. Nothing to argue, a good player vs a legend and the goat

lin dan perfect !

1:23:01 "Lee Chong Wei's such a nice guy..." if there's one thing I've learnt playing badminton matches, it's that you don't win by being a nice guy

*2020 Tự hào Tiến Minh Việt Nam

nice lin dan.... fair play.... awesome

They are BEST player!

Lee Chong Wei lost 7 chances to win the World Championships and Olympics gold medal all because of 2 players: 1) Lin Dan - World Championships (2011 & 2013) and Olympics (2008 & 2012) 2) Chen Long - World Championships (2014 & 2015) and Olympics (2016). So sad for him...My badminton fighting hero...

5 time world champion, gratz !

Fantastic match.

Every championships that LD and LCW played are more than 1h15mins game. I hope this year LCW can get his gold medal at Olympics but they must show a force that cannot be reckoned with. Kudos to both top players

21:00 that defence is crazy. that racket is meant to be dead slow for defence. man Lee Chong Wei courage to keep playing after pulled the muscle in his leg. shows that determination is the key to anything no matter if its a loss or a win.

Living Legend LCW & LD. 🙌🙌

Two fantastic players

Lee chong wei is the second best player in the world ....after Lin Dan . Just he's playing in the same era...

Kẻ về nhì vĩ đại của thế giới cầu lông! Lee Chong Wei

Legend lin dan

LINDAN is a true sports man

What a sportsman ship by LINDAN

The great Lin Dan always get the better of LCW in the major events like the worlds and Olympic finals because of his superior skills and mentality. In the 3rd set, although LCW had a fairly commanding lead at 10-6, his game suddenly became so passive that Lin Dan didn't even need to work so hard to accumulate the points and eventually run away with the match and win his 5th world title so easily. Too bad that although LCW had really great coaches throughout his career, he was still weak mentally. Because once you step into the court, a coach can only do so much. A coach can only teach you 20% but the other 80% have to come from the player. That's why players such as Rudy Hartono, Hendrawan, Icuk Sugiarto, Hariyanto Arbi, Joko Suprianto, Sun Jun, pPter Rasmussan, Xia Xuanxe, Han Jian, Yang Yang, Zhao Jianhua, Tawfik Hidayat, Chen Jin,Chen Long, Lin Dan, Kento Momota and Viktor Axelson were all able to become world champions, because they had superior mentality compared with LCW.

this is the best LD title imo... first it is major title, and secondly, he win it with almost entirely off year with competitive badminton... lcw really get reck hard mentally here..

Ms2 tangguh,pada era y,lcw udah sembuh,kembali main 2019 nanti.

Great !

Well played both players, lcw was so close 17 to 19, only 2 points down, he can catch up, but just that the injury hindered his results, nonetheless lcw is still my hero!

what is the song that is playing when lin dan and lee chong wei enter on court?

lindan thể lực 3 trận như 1, quá khỏe

อยากย้อนเวลาได้จัง

There should be no complaints about Lin Dan. He won!

When will they meet again? Can somebody tell me the date where they should meet in finals again?

mettre 12/1 dans un set à LCW, y a que LD qui peut le faire ! not only LD is the best ever player, but he's the prettiest too !

43:12 - what was the point of this frame.... poor Du Pengyu....

7:32 Gill, are you sure of that? CAI Yun and FU Haifeng won WC Golds in 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2011!

Good!!!

Big legends

感动

magnificent

My thoughts : LCW's playstyle is too passive causing him to lose over and over again. Yeah some bad line calls were made, but it's not just this match he lost, most of the matches between these two end up in favor of Lin Dan. Like it or not, Lin Dan will always surpass LCW in his strong mentality/focus, his offensive playstyle (offense is the best defense :p) and his ability to predict movements.

43:50 ❤️❤️

Tbh, Lin Dan is soo good, but there's something about LCW that makes me adoooore him.

2 calls wrong from the umpire against Lee Chong Wei, that definitely says something.

43:50 Nguyễn Tiến Minh - niềm tự hào của cầu lông Việt Nam :3

sangat bagus

Datuk Lee, Malaysia pround of you.

The best lindan and the best lcw

今天再看这视频，昔人已乘黄鹤去 此地空余黄鹤楼。当今羽坛，没有任何一个人能超越Lin dan, LCW.

I thing I noticed is that LCW always tries to hurry back into base position. He never leans towards a side or back and forth. Just tells how unpredictable Lin Dan is.

I fans Lee Chong wei.. Be sad see He injury,,

lee chong wei đen nhể.mấy năm chưa chả thù được.

Trận đấu 1 tiếng rưỡi ... Căng vl, cả 2 đều là ng giỏi nhất ... Không có sự khác biệt giữa 2 ng ...

the Great Lin Dan

I prefere Lee Chong Wei I think he is better but he give easy point (don't hit the ball when he thinks it is "out")

29:54 LEE was frustrated though. Seldom see him with this expression

李宗伟是一位非常优秀的选手，如果不是因为身体问题，东京奥运会有很大可能夺冠

The bone was start cracking when he stucked inthe large margin score.

Both were top players at that time

Still cant believe this match was 10 years ago

I am a great fan of LINDAN

What shoes is Lin Dan wearing? :)

Lee Chong Wei is a great fighter.
