Sina Sports News Malaysian badminton star Li Zongwei tore his ankle ligament in the Thomas Cup in China in May and is currently undergoing stem cell therapy. Li Zongwei said on Friday that his ankle injury has not healed and he is not sure whether he can meet the Olympic Games in the best condition.
"I'm not sure ... now I can't say that I 100% recovered. I still have three weeks. I only focus on my game. " In three weeks, the 29-year-old veteran will leave Malaysia for London, and now he has only recovered about 80%. He said that now he insists on training for 6 to 7 hours every day and has been insisting on treatment and rehabilitation.
In the men's singles badminton final of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Li Zongwei, who ranked first in the world at that time, lost to Dānlín. In most people's minds, Dānlín, who is less comprehensive, is more worthy of the "top spot" in men's singles. But this year, Li Zongwei has fallen behind its rival Dānlín in the world rankings, temporarily ranking second in the world.
This is Li Zongwei's last chance to participate in the Olympic Games. He said that this would be his last chance, and he hoped to regain the title of number one in the world with a gold medal. If he can do it, it will also be a "zero breakthrough" in the history of the Malaysian Olympic Games.
"I am very satisfied with my recovery. Of course, I will be mentally prepared because I have just recovered from the injury, "he said in an interview. "I just do my best. I hope I can play the Olympic Games well and regain the number one position in the world ... I know everyone wants me to get a gold medal back. "
Li Zongwei also said that after returning from the London Olympic Games, no matter how he performed, he would stay in the stadium, and only after the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games, would he consider hanging up.
"I've been calling for a long time ... that's enough." Li Zongwei said.
