Li Zongwei is called the second child of the Millennium, not only because he lost all three Olympic finals, but also because he participated in four world championships and lost all. It is worth mentioning that Li Zongwei also entered the final of the Asian Games and won the runner-up. After entering the Thomas Cup final, I still won the runner-up, but I really didn't win the championship.
World Championships is an important event of badminton, and it also reflects the strength of superstars. Li Zongwei's personal peak period is very long, and he has been a Malaysian elder brother for 10 years. He has participated in many world championships, eight times.

His personal strength is very strong. 20 1 1, reached the men's singles final of the World Championships. His opponent is Dānlín. In the first game, Li Zongwei started well with 22-20, but after that, he lost two games in a row and was reversed. It is worth mentioning that in the crucial third game, Li Zongwei lost 2 1-23. The strength of both sides can be said to be equal, but Dānlín has a generous heart.
12 Li Zongwei made a comeback after losing to Dānlín in the men's singles final of London Olympic Games. He did well in the World Championships and reached the men's singles final again. His opponent is still Dānlín. This time, however, Li Zongwei lost even more unjustly. Because he was injured, he gave up the finals directly, lost without a fight, and missed the chance to reach the top of the world series again.
Since then, Dānlín has gradually started to decline. Li Zongwei participated in 14 and 15 World Championships, and both reached the men's singles finals, but he never met Dānlín again. His last opponent in the 14 World Championships was Chen Long, which was when Chen Long reached its peak. In the end, Chen Long beat Li Zongwei 2-0 and won his first world championship, while Li Zongwei was runner-up again.
A year later, Li Zongwei was still in good shape. He entered the final of the World Championships, and his opponent was Chen Long. Everyone thought that Li Zongwei could achieve revenge, but Chen Long was powerful, winning the world championship with a 2-0 victory over Li Zongwei, while Li Zongwei was runner-up for four consecutive times. Have to say, China's Dānlín and Chen Long can be regarded as the nemesis of Li Zongwei. Li Zongwei reached the finals many times in the world series, but both lost to these two demons, which also led to his whole career without a world champion.
