Lin Dan (CHN) v Lee Chong Wei (MAS) - Men's Badminton Singles Final | London 2012 Olympics 

legends

Sampson Chan I am Agree

Totally

@Sampson Chan nope, I think from 2005-2016

I think it was the end when Lee chong wei retired. Lin lost his fire a while back.

THATS MEAN LEGEND NEVER DIES

WHAT AN AMAZING QUESTIONN.

That’s amazing

that's a great question, always healthy for your father, not only your father but also miss seeing LD in court

@Real Deal bruh

Lin dan used to play seriously against hidayat too, but soon after hidayat married his wife his performance drop significantly

@@febryramadhan2057 😂

Also Hidayats performance decreased due to another factor, which is his back injury

He only needed 2...

@@marcosundah4698 his back went somewhere in 2006 and Peter Gade's knees in 2002. Neither of those 2 are at 100% anymore by the time Lin Dan completely dominated the scene (2007-2012).

you cant say... they were quite close... these both can continue the game on and on... it was the pressure bringing the shuttle on the floor...watching such matches is always a pleasure... winning and losing comes after that

Not really. The game could have gone either way.

kehek15 Thx for honuring Lindan, LCW is also the greatest badminton player in the world. This is a perfect match.

kehek15 and

lmao

Spoiler alert!

Both are legends... But what a simplicity LCW has... Lovely

Hi from 5 yesrs after

Hi from six years later

@@Iphonejwnnx lol

True..I thought it was my headphone's issue at first

Hi from 7 years later

Yes the legend

Yes

*_SAMBO ARE STILL WATCHING FROM THE JAIL._*

Yeah on 25 may late night 3am

*_ABSOLUTELY YES, IN 2024 I'M STILL WATCHING MEGURI FUJIURA JAV MOVIE._*

why the hell would you spoil the whole final by saying "even though LCW didn't win" thanks a lot dude now i have no reason to watch the whole video

DizzyBeno your fault for looking at the comments

DizzyBeno the video description already did the job anyway :P...

Even the thumbnail did it before that :P lol

Very true! Whilst watching this, this was the most memorable and closest moments we had as a family :)

We think you'll enjoy this! 🏓 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jkeUQ76uVx4.html

@@Olympics where tf do you get your recommendations from

@@Olympics this is badminton, not table tennis

​@@aestheticanimations2522😂

For real. It can also be said that LCW's career improved Lin Dan's skill overall such that without LCW, Lin would have no opponent.

True

for all competitive sports, winner takes all, so you are possibly alone...

@@today8100 On the contrary, without Lindan, LCW will not probably be in the game for that long, because he always want to prove that one day he will beat Lindan and win the big tournament.

Lin dan 🔥🔥🔥

Not really Lin Dan peak was around 2008 Olympics where he was unbeatable

Yup technicslly i would day they both are at the same level But lin dan just has A better mentalitet and That's Why he's able to pull put the victory in the end.

u dun even know the meaning of clutch and u wan use

@@ExtrusionXDesigns You can't even type words correctly and you write a comment

Yup, you can see it near the end of the 3rd set. He actually made 2 unforced errors giving LCW a 2 point lead 18-16. What does he do next ? Produce 2 brilliant rallies to level. He made another unforced error giving the lead to LCW 19-18. Wins the next point back and the rest is history. Other great players would have folded after those unforced errors, LD just forget about those errors and win the next rally.

@@arthursundberg9012 That Is Because Of Pressure Lee Is The Only Malaysian Left To Bring Gold For Malaysia While China Have Others Gold Medal Match That They Can Grab On

sufian sufi lcw is also a legend

Joyal thomas is also a legend

They are both legends, I’m Chinese and I gotta say I sometimes feel bad for Lee, he could have won so much more if he had been in another time

Brian Liu ye, i Think it’s really Big for Lee, he probably had a lot of pressure. I think they both are Legends and amazing!

Trur

even in rio 2016. Even the semi finals fights like a final

one of the saddest moment in the history to see LCW lost to LD

@@trannguyennhathoang1151 Yup, especially taking silver for three years in a row, then retiring right before the 2020 Olympics. Still, I applaud LCW's effort and achievement with 69 titles. He will definitely go down as one of the badminton legends in history.

Tevin Wang fax Tevitevtev

preach man rip LCW my guy was a legend

haha what a loser get rekt m8

We will get it in 2024 olympic I hope

@LOLshen hopefully, but I think Vickter Axelsen will not allow in 2024 olympics!

yeah

Malaysia need to wait more longer 💉🦠

@@riyan_prad yes .. lee chong wei even took retirement

Lcw refined his physical abilities pretty well until late in his career it’s really lin who physically declined a lot after 2012 if anything 2012 was peak lcw

What do you think after today when lcw beat lin dan?Honestly though there's the stigma that lin dan is better than lcw because he won the olympics twice.For me they're about ties.At times LCW emerge to be better and at other times Lin Dan does that

it's very obvious Lee Chong Wei is the better player than Lin Dan..Lin Dan was lucky to beat LCW in 2012 Olympic final..now luck is run out from Lin Dan..Lee Chong Wei is simply the greatest of all time..

absolutiontheory98 i don't think so.. lin dan just get bored at the moment.. when he's at his best.. no single human being can defeat him, his skills is just too insane! and i sincerely believe lee chong wei could've win more titles without having lin dan at the same generation.. that's what i meant.. LCW is a fantastic player also but Lin Dan is the greatest ever in terms of craftiness and athleticism.. i've followed badminton since Barcelona Olympic and i never seen any player better than him..

Skywalker CFC yes, u must be a malaysian.. congrats on that, i predict he will easily beat chen long in final.. he will be the first ever malaysian to win gold medal.. i don't think their men double can overcome the chinesr double in final, but let's see..

+Needa Shreerangath Even Lin Dan himself know he was always lucky to beat Lee Chong Wei in big tournament..In overall Lee Chong Wei is a better player than Lin Dan..Lee Chong Wei was simply the gteatest of all time..

LCW at that point was too nervous and with blank thoughts while Lin Dan just plain lucky and just did the simple thing, keeping the shuttle low and staying unforced errors towards the end.

​@@awequayzngs1780lcw choke

kehek15 tetep lindan terbaik sepanjang masa

it's 2018 and Lin Dan hasn't even retired hahah

Lol LIN DAN is here 2019😍😍

Lin dan Lin Dan Lin dan

Lcw already retired

You see the moment when a service point is overruled at 5-8. He immediately received the ball into the net followed by two laid-back reactive hitting. He is not so level-headed under pressures while LD is kind of provoked by pressures and constantly building it up on opponents.

He is so close to winning this one, but after 16-18 he plays bit conservative. That is the difference when these two take a lead over another.

@Dad lol🤣

Nice and keen observation.

That's very similar to 2010 Asian games final . Lin Dan's crazy save from Lee Chong Wei.

Also similar to 2016 Rio at 20...19 last set

Yeah, I remembered very well, I cried when LCW lost.. now I can image one LCW mindset.. very painful.

Lee Chong Wei is god. He is the best of all time.

+Skywalker CFC Lin Dan still has the better head to head record over Lee Chong Wei

With no titles, LCW is good , but only as good as anyone without a major title, even Taufik is considered to be better than LCW for having been a World Champion and an Olympic gold medalist

Gin356a what the hell man.. LCW won 2 silver olympic medal, won gold medal in Commenwealth games, won Asian championship and LCW is the only player in badminton history who won all the super series titles. LCW won the most titles in badminton history a total 65 titles in his career and reached 45 finals. LCW could have won 110 titles if he won all the finals he reaches.

Skywalker CFC Table scraps...nobody gives a shit about commonwealth games because the level of competition is low, superseries is just for the prize money. The only "Majors" in badminton is OG, WC, Asian Games, Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup. Lee Chong Wei AKA the Uncrowned King has won none of the above, Lin Dan on the other hand has won every single one at least twice. Taufik has won an Olympic Gold and was a world champion, and Asian games gold, led his team to Thomas Cup gold...Again, Lee Chong Wei is a great player, and maintains a high level of play for almost a decade, but his best have never been as good as The other two. Lin Dan is without a doubt the greatest ever by far, but Taufik can compete at 100 when it matters and win big titles while being only at 80 or less the oher times, while Lee chong wei is always at 95, extremely consistent, but just doesnt have the Plus alpha to go the extra mile, therefore zero major title, an Uncrowned King if you will.

What's about the epic final btw Djokovic and Federer at Wimbledon.

most sports will only become more and more competitive in the future because of improvement of standard of livings and scientific advancement worldwide

+Quang Pham Lin and Lee are both going to the Rio 2016 :) I'm Sooooooo excited.

+peter yuan Yeah, if both of them can meet each other in the final once more then there will be not better way to say good bye to the two legends.

+Quang Pham That would be totally awesome. I think the draw would have to play out that LD plays Viktor Axelson in the semi and LCW plays Chen Long in the semi. If it's reversed I'm not sure LD can take Chen Long.

+iPlayDrums4You I am not even sure Lin Dan can take viktor (1-3 history in 2015)

Jimmy jim Its 1-2 not 1-3. And Viktor doesnt have any experience in the Olympics so we dont know how we he will do just like LD in olympics 2004 or Chen Long in WC 2011. But LD still have to be in good form or he wont even get to the semi-final.

🥺🥺🥺

You forgot 2010 Asian game final

Wong8Egg and now 2016 Olympic Semifinal

KiraWasHere -flickr ?Zhang JIke is quite good, but there are also lots of table tennis players like Ma Long, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, these man players have similar reputation as Zhang Jike. But no one could be put to compare with Lin Dan.

Bright Ma I'm not comparing skills, i'm comparing world titles. Zhang Jike is almost a double Grand Slam winner... never a table tennis player has won this much

KiraWasHere -flickr There's so many events for badminton players lol... For TT only 3 is needed for a "grand slam", plus the Pro Tour Grand Finals (incidentally Kong Linghui is the only one with all 4). No one even cares about the Pro Tours. For TT, there are female atheletes with 2 grand slams (ZYN), and anyways, ZJK still have a long career ahead of him. Who knows, maybe he'll become the GOAT or retired like Liu Guozheng. Right now though, ZJK doesn't have the most titles objectively. However ZJK is strong, he is not as dominant as Lin Dan. ZJK won 5/8 grand slam tournaments since the 2011 WTTC win, which can't be compared to Lin Dan.

LCW was playing his best badminton around this time, yet LD kept denying him of the biggest prize, Asian games in 2010, world championship in 2011 and olympic in 2012. Like the commentator said, “got to feel for Lee Chong Wei”.

i will run out of the stadium to celebrate if i ever win a olympic gold medal

@@mensxx1437All the best

"greatest" has been defeated !!!

Lee Chong Wei is the greatest of all time not Lin Dan..Lin Dan lose to Lee Chong Wei in Olympic Rio..

+Ong Zen Ye most of Chinese love lcw's game. But losing to lcw's doesn't change the fact that lin Dan is the greatest badminton player. Not to mention that lcw still have one final to go in rio. Anyway good luck to him

+Skywalker CFC One is a 2 gold medalist, anther one is 1 gold at most

+Skywalker CFC yeah sky walker even the best can lose the question therefore is who has an overall better record and major titles . 25-11 in favour of Lin Dan. Not only does he have more Olympic gold , he is world champion 5 time - LCW haven't won a single world's

なんであれ追いつけるねん

亦敌亦友

一场表演赛...

Hnji

Yep

if LD wins 3rd gold, Gill Clark will have to shut up about "LD is not the greatest... we can't compare eras... "

+ThePoignancy u r right , he has been defeated by my nation Lee CW just now hurayy!! proud of Lee

+Ong Zen Ye but he lost final，so regretted.

@@ThePoignancy But LD is too old for next Olympics. Watching his match makes me feel of strength and power.

Any day Lindan is better tbh....28-12 Though no disrespect to LCW. But Lin Dan is the Ultimate GOAT 🐐

Same !
