The Olympic men's singles champion became the first badminton player. From ancient Rome in 2004 to Rio de Janeiro in 20 16, Dānlín competed for the champion of four summer Olympic Games. If the 2020 Japanese Olympic Games had not been postponed due to pneumonia, Dānlín originally wanted to make his fifth Olympic Games trip before he announced his retirement. However, even after playing only four games, Dānlín, who won two men's singles titles at the Summer Olympics, is still the most extraordinary tennis player at the Summer Olympics.
Dānlín's Olympic trip was not smooth sailing. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Dānlín suffered a major "Waterloo" in his career development. At that time, he participated in the Athens Olympic Games as the world's number one, and lost to Malaysian players in the first round, and was awarded the title of "Forest Wheel". It was not until the Beijing Olympic Games four years later that Dānlín began to complain about himself. In the men's singles final of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Dānlín restrained Li Zongwei's performance from the beginning, and finally defeated his arch-rival 2-0 to win the Olympic champion. As a result, Dānlín became the first football player in tennis history to win gold medals in the All England Championship, World Championships, World Cup and Olympic Games.
It didn't stop. 20 12 At the Beijing Olympic Games, Dānlín once again defeated her arch-enemy Li Zongwei and became the defending champion of badminton men's singles in the Summer Olympic Games. This champion makes Dānlín the only player who has successfully won the defending champion badminton men's singles title since tennis became the Summer Olympic Games 1992, and also the only badminton men's singles player who has won two Olympic gold medals. As the highest prize of badminton, the Summer Olympic Games won the title of "Badminton First Man" for Dānlín.
In international competitions, China badminton team won the 20 world championships in Tangyou Cup in 20 18, and Dānlín won the 20 tennis world championships in his career development, which is also the honor of being the "first badminton player". Dānlín's 20 world competitions include two Olympic gold medals, five world championships, six soup cups, five Soviet cups and two European cups.
In addition to the two Olympic champions just mentioned, the five tennis world championships have also made Dānlín "the best in the world". In this game, Zhao Jing, who has won the championship twice, is already a great god among the great gods, while "tennis superstars" like Taufik, Ye and others have only won the championship once. Among the active football players, Chen Long, who won the championship twice, is closest to Dānlín. It is worth mentioning that from 2006 to 2009, Dānlín also completed the final battle in Shacheng at the World Championships for three consecutive times.
In addition to "single-handedly fighting", Dānlín can also play round robin with ease, and Dānlín has also achieved very high success in the Tang Oil Cup round robin project. Before the 20 18 Tang Cup, Dānlín had 32 wins 1 losses in this competition, and the 20 18 Tang Cup was also a two-game winning streak. In addition, Dānlín is the first one-on-one fight of the national badminton team in the journey, which means that the national badminton team has won the soup cup five times.
Who can take Dānlín's gun? Dānlín's achievements in his 20-year career are almost unparalleled, but when Dānlín retired, people still want to ask: Who can take over Dānlín's gun?
On this topic, a reporter interviewed Sun Zhian, the champion of badminton men's doubles in the first World Games, the champion of men's doubles in the second World Badminton Championship and the champion of Thomas Cup. When talking about Dānlín, Sun Zhian said: "Dānlín is undoubtedly the greatest badminton player of the national team in the past 20 years, and his performance is also the best. It is normal for him to retire today. As a veteran, it is not easy for so many years. "
As a legend of Jiangsu badminton, when talking about his successor, he mentioned Shi, a famous badminton player in Jiangsu. Sun Zhian said: "Among the men's singles players of China badminton team, there is still a gap compared with Dānlín in the peak period." However, he also mentioned: "Shi is in the prime of life, and his recent injuries have led to unstable performance, but from the perspective of development, he has certain ability and strength. As long as he trains hard, pays attention to injuries and calms down, I won't be surprised if he wins the Olympic champion. " Sun Zhian also talked about Chen Long. As the champion of men's singles in Rio 20 16 Olympic Games, Chen Long is 3 1 year old. He said, "Chen Long is an old athlete, and his sports career has basically come to an end. The Tokyo Olympics was postponed and the men's singles were still competitive. "
Summary:
Looking at the badminton pattern in today's world, Japanese player Tian Taojian Dou is the most popular, but Sun Zhian thinks it is difficult for Taotian Xiandou to surpass Dānlín. "The athletes mentioned just now have no problem in getting good grades or winning the Olympic champion. However, Dānlín won the Olympic champion twice, and twice in a row. With so many champions in hand, I think it is more difficult to surpass Dānlín. " He said.
