Men's Singles Badminton Final | Rio 2016 Replays 

I’m sad for LCW. He never get the gold of Olympics until his retirement.Anyway, LCW is one of the greatest badminton player of all time. Salute to LCW.

Badminton is an underrated sport. It’s so fast and so difficult it’s crazy that these people can react to a tiny shuttlecock flying super fast and manage to calculate the position it will be when they intercept it. All within 1-2 seconds! Wow.

I feel like Chinese badminton team trained Chen Long almost specifically for playing Lee Chongwei: solid defence to counter Lee's quick smashes (24:08, 21:53, 15:41, 11:02, 30:07) great backhand to counter/inject change of pace (15:43), higher reach for quick smashes for not giving Lee any time to break (28:32, 20:12, 14:00) Lee's only chances were 1) baiting Chen into attack/bating Chen into soft drops, this way he moves Chen around and mess up Chen's defence (11:04, 2:42, 5:00, 18:00) 2) to speed up and gain control of the front court (4:00, 4:29, 5:00, 16:35). He did try to speed up many times in early/mid game, but unfortunately for a man at age of 34, he couldn't keep up the full speed for the entire match. Chen also played a better base game, as Lee made many mistakes towards the end of game 1 (29:28, 31:25, 27:27) potentially due to tiredness from speeding up too early & a dreadful match with LD the day before. Anyways, this was a great match, and I am glad to analyze it after 4 years. Thanks for the upload.

Defence master Chen Long has got another silver medal in 2021 Tokyo Olympics at his 32. Huge respect to these two players.

Time flies! Great match here..

Lee Chong Wei truly is the king without his crown.

Respect to LCW....the most consistent player in Badminton, 3 consecutive silver medal in olympic and 4 consecutive silver medal in World Champs. All of the seven medals defeated by only 2 players, LD dan CL

2021 still rewatching this 2016 olympic full match.

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...

Who’s here after Axelsen won Chen Long for the 2021 Olympic Gold Medal?

Chen Long from 2014-2016 was unstoppable. The guy played at his best when highly motivated. He is lacking motivation now, but can't deny his talent.

Chen Long is so underrated. One bronze, One Gold, One Silver.

Defeated Lin Dan only to be stopped by Chen Long. Must have been heart wrenching for LCW after making so many Olympic Finals

I have not seen so many unforced errors by LCW, he was in tremendous pressure...world will remember him as a legend

I must admit, it is quite painful to watch this. Although I like Chen Long, I just can't stand watching LCW lose his last Olympic match.

Can’t wait! Badminton is my absolute favorite sport, and it’s incredible to see it played by the world’s best!

Imagine if Lee Chong Wei matched Lin Dan in this Rio final, It would have been really epic. If Lee Chong Wei won, he would have gotten his redemption after so long and if Lin Dan had won, he would have upped his legendary status by being the first & only men's single to win 3 Olympic finals. Would have been a dream for us badminton fans to watch.

Both perform very well. Chen's win based on solid defense, variety and sudden smash. Unforgettable cry of Chen after his win.

1:17:52 the expression of true victory.The efforts of victory made by CHEN LONG is very powerful.

I feel like the guy who won 3rd place is the most satisfied one 😂 He was like never sad throughout the whole video

For those think that Chen Long got lucky: He's a 2 times world champion in 2014 & 2015, he has achieved gold silver & bronze medals in 2016, 2021 & 2012 respectively

Lee Chongwei/Li Zhongwei is a hero of both China and Malaysia because his a Chinese and a Malaysian. As a Chinese I feel sad that he missed his last chance for a Gold Medal but at least he get to beat his former opponent Lin Dan. His defeat made me happy and sad at the same time. Long Live Sino-Malaysian Friendship.

Chen Long is one of the best badminton player in China! He deserved his gold.

LZJ: Sorry bro, I almost got Chen Long in Tokyo Olympics. LCW: It's ok, you played well. Keep it up.

Soon as Lee Chong Wei finally defeated Lin Dan, he had to face another legendary Chen Long. Real warrior

My heart is beating fast while watching this vid. Even though I already know Chen Long was the winner. I want LCW to win so bad xD

Lee Chong Wei doesn't seem to be very worried/serious about his loss in the final. May be he would have, if he had lost against Lin Dan in the finals. To simply put, Winning against Lin Dan in Semis gave him more comfort than losing the Gold in the finals against anybody.

Badminton is so much more interesting than more popular, mainstream sports

Chen Long was really the best in the world for a short period from 2015-2016, especially when LD and LCW were already dropping during those years.

At the moment, I really hope that Dato LCW will get his gold medal. He was really on pressure. Either lose or win, he still on my heart. Love from INA❤️🙏

This 2016 men's singles finals and semi-finals is really top notched. All 4 are top rank players, no low ranking players. So it's really a match of the world's best. Getting the gold is no easy task.

Lee Chong Wei is indeed a humble person. That's why I love him very much. ⭐ I hope the life treating him well, and I believe he is doing fine now. 🥰

Today Victor Axelsen won the Olympics Men's single final. Congrats to him.

Man , my shoulder dislocated just by watching these rotations 😂

Only player to reach 6 finals 3 Olympics 3 world championship Wow what a legend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you sooo much Chong Wei ... So sweet and innocent personality ❤️❤️

Despite Lee Chong Wei didn't win gold in his 3rd time of Olympic, even until.his retirement. He already won more than 3 golds in everyone's heart ! An ubelievable fight in a unforgetable night ! Love Always to Lee Chong Wei and all of Malaysian 🇲🇾 !!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥 love from Indonesia ! ❤🇮🇩

陳龍在里約奧運的表現實在太完美了，一路連克孫完虎，安賽龍以及最後的李宗偉，他的完美防守實在無懈可擊

Its 2022 and this match is still legendary

Lindan adalah legenda Pemain Badminton dari China🇨🇳.Lindan Pemain nomor 1 Dunia yg paling banyak menang diturnamen kejuaraan yg bergengsi tingkat dunia Lindan sdh meraih nya semua, Lindan Mendapat kan Medali emas yg terbanyak 🇨🇳💪👍🙏

Chen long won bcz he is a giant and But LEE Chong Wei is still the "LEGEND" in Badminton history. LCW , u may miss the Gold but u won the hearts of millions .

Lee Chong Wei ..may be you didn't won olympic gold ..but you won the heart of many of us in the world ...the badminton lengend with largest number of fans in the world ....LEE CHONG WEI ...

Those abs!!!! I'm Singaporean and still have mixed feelings because I love both countries and players.

Feel so sad for LCW.. he will always remember as the legend without crown..😭😭😭

8:12 brilliant strategic play by Chen long, Badminton players should watch that two shots Chen long planned..

2:30😂 The guy be like waving in the air.

I hate that CL never got the popularity he much deserved. For one, he is literally in the Tier of Linda and LCW. The rivalry between LD and LDC had overshadowed his presence. Even after landing 2nd place at Tokyo Olympics- adding another medal to his portfolio, He was still not regarded (by fans) as someone who is truly legendary (just like how fans treated LD) Haist ...... 😔

Chen Long undeniably is one of the players which makes badminton to fall in love with 🔥❤️❤️

ITS OK STILL PROUD OF LZJ THAT WAS HIS FIRST OLYMPIC FOR HIS YOUNG AGE MORE GAMES/TOURNAMENT IS COMING AND THIS LEGENDARY GAMES WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

No matter who is the winner....my all time favourite will be Lee Chong Wei😍

Luar biasa DATUK LEE CHONG WEI mendapatkan 3 medali perak dalam 3 kali final olimpiade. Salam hormat saya dari Indonesia.

After 6 years , it is still a heart breaking moment for all Malaysians

It was awesome to see Chen Long and other badminton top players playing in Brazil!!! This game of Chen Long was so inspiring

I had hoped LCW will be gold medalits in Tokyo 2020 before he suffer cancer and decide to retire from Badminton , but for me he still one of the best player in the world although he never gold medal in olympic .

After the break in the first set, Chen long changed his strategy and controlled the game. Chen was more relaxed

ngl watching this makes me miss playing badminton. i've always been mediocre at most sports but i'm pretty good at badminton but never liked playing it but watching this actually makes me appreciate the sport

LCW did not lose to Chen Long, he lost to himself. Too much pressure on his shoulder in this match, and he did not take enough risk.

Here after Axelsen win gold medal 2020 tokyo

Its sad how LCW was still probably kinda tired from his match with Lin Dan the day before. Was sad watching this match for the first time seeing all those plasters around him

Can we just Appreciate Chen long Everyone in the comment are in support of LCW

Feels really sad when watching the best player losing his last opportunity to win that gold .but it reaaly doesnt make him from what he is. The best player who will always be remembered

After all those years, LCW could be the uncrowned king though he won the heart of all ! huge respects for these legends. Badminton at its finest, indeed!

Heart broken moments for every badminton lover 😭 LCW is Legend

Lee Chong Wei is the greatest ......in n out of the court ...... humble..... inspiring.... determined.... carrying the cross the the whole country...

Incredible to see and think How much sweat the players shed in one singles game!

I guess LCW has drained most of his energy during semi-final against Lin Dan... Unlucky for LCW

2016 Olympics is the nightmare for Malaysia. Men single lose from China, men double lose from China, XD lose from Indonesia.

Chen long is a beast when it comes to defence

How Chen is soo cool.. In his gold medal 🏅🏅 match

Literally goosebumps on his victory moment 🔥❤️

27:48 this is chen long funniest Face🤣

Chen Long is so lovely

I was sad when I watched it live but LCW is still a legend and a warrior the pride of Malaysia he will always be in our hearts ♥️

Two all-time legends battling each other for the glory 🔥

Lee chong wei have years of experience. More than Chen long. But Chen long still can defeat LCW😭😪 THANK YOU DATO' LEE CHONG WEI FOR BRINGING OLYMPIC SILVER MEDAL🥈 FOR MALAYSIA🇲🇾 !!!😢

I got Chen Long racket btw.. hahahhaha.. :) proud using it for more than 3 years now.. :)

Chen long's posture and body 🤟

Lee chong Wei and Lin dan are the best rivals in the history of badminton, such a shame LCW couldn't win any titles, especially this one after winning against Lin Dan

Chen Long get break for 1 days if I remember while Dato LCW only get 12 or 15 hours after his epic semi final match against Lin Dan....so advantage goes to Chen Long

Chinese fans were spoiled by Lin Dan and Chen Long. Now we realize that's our prime era and Chen Long was so underrated because of Lin Dan.

One of the fewest times I had my 💔 moment

I miss playing this sport....the wall in my room just isn't doing the trick😂😥

1:10:38 Chen Long’s agression here just seems so satisfying 😩

LEE CHONG WEI IS MY FAVOURITE 👍❤

Malaysian sport people very sad at this moment. true legend LcW

How sad Lee Chong Wei tried so hard to win an olympic gold medal but he never did, he played #3 olympic finals but he never won, he never stopped trying and he should deserve an olympic gold medal🥇🥇

It hurts so much 💔 to see LCW losing

The golden era of men's singles...

Badminton is so much fun to watch

LCW got 3 silvers for 3 consecutive years TT

Respect for two country.from Indonesia 🇮🇩✌️

正在使用发音 Now it seems that Chen Long has won three gold, silver and bronze medals in the Olympic Games, and Lee Chong Wei has won three silver medals. They deserve to be respected, and Chen Long's victory is not a fluke.

Permainan LCW sudah terbaca, bahkan akupun sebagai penonton tau dimana letaknya, yaitu depan kiri dan belakang kanan bagian dari LCW, aku sudah melihat beberapa pertandingan penting LCW vs Lin Dan, pelatih China selalu mengintruksikan ke arah itu, tetapi gak semua pemain bisa melakukan ritme untuk mengincar titik point kelemahan LCW, hanya Lin Dan dan Chen Long yang mampu.

Such a good match!! Good job guys!!

rio 2016 the best shape of chenlong china has..

Datuk LCW! Love from a Chinese

lee chong wei did not play badly in this game. its just his stamina, focus and endurance are declining with his age. chen long made full use of his youth and firepower

I'm excited I love badminton

Thank you for uploading this video. If possible could you please also upload Lin Dan vs Victor?

Permainan yang super menakjubkan,,, keduanya memiliki kwalitas yg seimbang dan sangat menarik untuk di tonton,,kwalitas tingkat tinggi. good jobs !!!
