  • these guys are so much more fun to watch now.

  • what do u mean effortlessly? that is really mean~~~~

  • Comment removed

  • @lmsoniacs i am sure u know nothing about LCW

  • I think Lin Dan Is vry much better than Lee Chong Wei

  • This too old. Of course LD play better simply because he got home support but the LCW got nobody...

  • Lin Dan, the King.

  • I think noone in any form could have beaten Lin Dan on this day ! He had the toughest draw ever at the olympics, but he was so fit, so much humiliated 4 years ago and absolutely wants this plus he would get it in China in front of his homecrowd ! He didn´t avoid any shuttle, any shot, he was absolutely aggressive, but not blind, he was focused and mental clear - You really can see he is the best !

  • he really wanted 2 win

  • Lin Dan ! can we say performance enhancers?

  • lin dan really makes me more agressive when playing,,,hes my idol!!!!all of my movements in badminton i watch in him..i hope i can join that world championship...and to play with lin dan...

  • LINDAN at his peak, beat lcw 21-12 and 21-8!!! freakin BEAST!! @_@

  • lin totally destroyed lee!!

  • I would have been highly disappointed watching these considering Lee Chong Wei's horrible performence...

  • lin dan would hv cried like a little girl if he lost...

  • Lin Dan noob!!

  • uhm.... ? smash out in 6-1...uhm....?

  • they never air badminton over here on tv

    it's a shame because its great to watch these matches

  • lin dan plays well

  • THIS IS THE BEST EVER BADMINTON MATCH I'VE EVER SEEN..!

  • LIN DAN WAS SO SERIOUS

    LIN DAN WAS GODLY THAT NIGHT !

  • this was when Lin Dan was rank No. 1

    now his rank No. 4

    LCW rank No.1 now

  • @Hiroshi2166 Lin Dan is still the best he just doesn't go to as much tournaments.... sadly :(

  • LIN DAN = BADMINTON GOD

  • Lin Dan is this match is 100% full energy!!!

  • Because Lin has an easy game in the semi, he played Chen Jin his countryman who conceded two easy games. It appears to be a XXX. LCW went thru with 3 tough games and he could not recover from his fatigue.

  • @FSL813 dats true..

  • Damn... Lin looks so chill when he plays except when he smashes

  • 2:24 lol those shirts are really beautiful :D

    BUT WE ALL REMEMBER WHO WON AT 2010 DON'T WE???

    :3

  • Omg lol Lin Dan is so damn fast

  • Badminton is nothing compared to table tennis!

  • lin dan= unreal

  • Comment removed

  • i think there is not much diff in terms of skills or playing abilities between Lin Dan and LCW. but what makes Lin Dan better than LCW are his self confidence and his mental toughness.

    that's the differences between those two great players.

    i hope LCW can get as many helps as he can to improve on his mental toughness and not succumb to pressure every time he plays Lin Dan.

    I do hope LCW can improve on that aspect of his game, and show it at this year World Championships.

  • @edgeff82 You say the way as if you know much..

  • im surprised to his perfomance that night..but hes still our nation hero..MALAYSIA BOLEH!

  • @nicholaschung1 you right! and you can hear the commentator said that lin dan win most of his points from lee's faults... lin dan got none of a chance vs lee when they at they're best one day.

  • @jsrockensale

    lol srsly that wasnt overhead.

  • lol i thought it was an airplane ad at first

  • all people want the olympic gold medal

  • whats soo bad about this? its his anbition

  • @4EverPascal people that flagged this comment might be a fool, may be you will be no.1 player in the world for your country who knows?

  • he owned lee

  • the taste of victory ==]]

  • that woman talking is really annoying

  • @fredsk1 yeah cause she keeps pointing out that lindan was winning and stuff

  • @namteo94

    exactly.. also of interest is that they never show the Malaysian chap winning a point - unlike most highlight reels which at least show SOME points that the other player scored; assuming of course they scored points (which he did).

  • i think LCW had a trauma to LD...LD is the back shadow of LCW.

  • think she was rent to do this for china so....

  • both of them always meet in the final

  • his smashes ..so powerful(lin dan)

  • lin dan is younger than LCW...that the factor...

  • how is this the factor?

  • Of coz...If you Young...You will be stronger...

  • depends on how much

  • @azimondo So if by your logic, a 10 year old would be stronger than a 30 year old? You, my friend, are an absolute idiot.

  • i mean about just 3 or two year younger...

  • i think the best part about him is he used left hand instead of right thats really cool :D

  • no way LCW could have a chance against LD, for LD is the best on 1-1 match not to mention he was far more determined than LCW to get the gold medal in his own country. LCW simply had a nightmare haunting his life.....

  • He fully deserves it, the mental toughness, focus and concentration is what separates Lin Dan from all the others, aside from his phenomenal skill. I can just imagine the pressure he was under to get Gold in his home Country. He's probably the greatest to play the game of all time.

  • who do u think would win? lin dan or xia xuanze if both in their prime???

  • lin dan... but to be honest thats not a question cos lin dan can still improve past this zen he has reached.. watch the french open2009

  • @gammaray4evrr i think lindan have the edge over xuanze.But if Lee chong wei vs xia xuanze , i have the confidence lee chong wei will thrash xuanze easily 21-6 , 21-10.

  • that was in 2008

  • LCW love saving up him energy ^^while his apponent love playing smah smash smash!!

  • ROFL @ ishin

  • this commentor says all these weird things which makes it hard to watch

  • the crowd which is supporting china may weaken lee's spirit...

  • he's a lefty!

    awesome!

  • Lee Chong Wei was not performing well that night :(

  • LCW was performing well, Lin Dan was godly that night.

  • @tedthefarmer

    That's what it is all about. Managing to play your best during what counts.

  • @tedthefarmer LCW didnt perform well... wanna tell me that Lee always do over 10 errors pr. set in his normal games??... LCW didnt play well. But LD did sure play godly!! :D

  • WFT are you taking about. I wouldn't call 21-12 and 21-8 not performing well. So fuck you

  • Do u watch? Fuck yourself!

  • 1:52 was awsum :P smashed it, while he was ruunning backwards and off balance haha

  • lin dan is apparently the better player in terms of speed, skill, and smashing power. it is almost impossible for lee chong wei to beat lin dan except in rare occasions when lin dan is not in a good state and makes too many unforced errors.

  • well its true lin dan's the reigning world champion, but lee chong wei is still 2nd. despite being totally outclassed in the 08 olympics, i think lee chong wei should still be praised.

  • Lee Chong Wei is 1st, with Lin Dan trailing along at 5th.

  • idol!! ^^

  • "A lovely overhead smash"

    Can you smash any other way? =P

  • Backhand.

  • o my god  I never saw that result before

  • ofta sverige kommer med i badminton e du dum eller?

  • he's one of the best swedish badminton players but he doesn't even know when is the next olympics...

  • Uh.... Im not sure if you live in a cave or your teacher lied to you. Olympics only occur once every 4 years.

  • LOL how did Gade manage to get rank 2 now? I guess the older you are, you better you are xD maybe taufik is out of that category..

  • Gade is extraordinary, Taufik is also extraordinary but I just don't get it, seriously, how in the world did Gade became rank 2 and Taufiks still rank 5. man... I just love the both of them! (:

  • its funny how lin dan raped him and now the other guy is ranked 1st and he's ranked 3rd in the world

  • any1 knows where can i find and download olympic games full videos?

  • who can tell me where can download lin dan vs lee chong wei olympic 2008 final full video ??!

  • Ahh, Lin Dan rocks!! He's so happy when he wins! Haha, but when he loses...:) now, he's much better though!! He at least like manages a smile, sometimes;)

  • woow i fort he was gonna walk away

  • Malaysia boleh!!!

  • LD is smashing so much that game its awesome!!!

  • what is that shot on 0:50?

  • he's all happy like that, but when he loses it's like.. -_-..

  • lin dan's uniform quite nice eyh...

    chong wei took a beating in this match...

    he's not himself in this match...

    too much pressure on him i guess...

  • LD take over the match by his badminton aura:)) those two are too skilled, it is depend on which one's aura is higher. ahaha

  • Can u see their aurass??

  • lol ...speaking of loud who is the one who scream and yell their heads off like a cave man everytime lcw scores. Stop blaming the crowds if you sux. Face it!!!

  • I don't have anything against LD but I think LCW wasn't at his best in this match. I watched the match and LCW lost to himself, not to LD. He wasn't mentally strong and the Chinese crowd wasn't polite, they screamed all the time. If you watch a tennis match, the crowd is much more polite than this

  • HAHaHa

  • he's a left hander?!?! wow!

  • yea go team canada

    wow we suck were like the kasakstanian hockey team, no offense val, mike

  • ppl frm western countries suck at this..

  • badminton > soccer kkthx

  • im nt chinese or korean/japanese......n i dnt even like stupid soccer.....hahaha!

  • Melina you wouldn't stand a chance against Andrew Smith so be quiet.

  • wat???i rule at this.....i play this like eating pizza.......i can kick ur andrew asss anitime......

  • you mean from this video or canada or bla bla bla?

  • Ok melina so you're claiming you can beat the 21st best person in the whole world, you're more immature than I originally thought.

  • 21st...hahhaa...yes..i can ssooo beat himm.... n fyi im nt in the olympics bcause im too bzy wit skull!!

  • Lol you're just joking now, because there's no-one that immature and childish that would know how to post on youtube.

  • He s the best ! ( I play badminton at the college ) !

    ^^

  • I watched this match and the Lin Dan was INCREDIBLE!!! I don't agree that he was 'capitalising on too many errors from Lee' Lin Dan out classed him and ran rings round him, it wasn't Lee's bad play.

  • aww sucks for lee

  • <33333333333333333 Lin Dan!!!!!! Wow,the boy sure can play.

  • like u know anything about it

  • I second, third and fourth that 2 comments down, Im an avid badminton player, 9 years running now, and I can tell you. If you play chess, and do say Tae Kwon do, as cross training you actually do get a hell of alot better. Coming from someone with a handful of gold medals from the game... personnally Im using this sport to bring me to a Jedi like state of being.

  • Badminton is not only a sport but also a test of an individual's: strength; agility; speed; critical thinking skills; sportsmanship; morality; mind control; discipline; confidence; and most of all... determination. Badminton is a combination of chess game and martial art, where i believe many sissy boys can do neither.

  • fuckin ay

  • Not to mention hand-eye coordination lol

  • 《Lin Dan my hero:P

  • Lin Dan is serious! just look at the score... proud of him!

  • becuase you suck at it

  • you didnt play this sport before.

    so how do you know it's the worst?

    it just doesnt make sense.

    it's like you watching people write an essay & says he/she is a bad writer w/o examining the content.

    also, are you a sportsman or sportswoman by any chance?

    cus if you're, & with all the vulgar you used,

    it's a real shame you know..

  • hes right

  • haha nice 1

  • What about you MISS MikkelSauer55, a c***s*** of LD haha,did i make a statement myself that certainly LD used drugs? i just assumed and thought of myself he might have used it, but he didn't, and never ever used it and besides i admired his transformation during the Olympics and hope he will continue his forms next couple seasons. now i can see how pathetic you look now, c***s*** of LD, may i ask you how did LD'??? taste after 5mins he finished playing again LCW. only have the answer for it.

  • As for drugs, i am sure most of us do feel that it is unfair to dope. However if a person does it, then we shall wait till the medical report comes out and then determine if one really dopes or not. In addition, everyone knows that as the time goes by, more drugs are being used to improve their overall performance for the match. It really does not show that the player has sportmanship. Thus, this really shows one of the bane of life science.

  • well wads wrong with LD nowadays? after winning the gold medal, he did not participate in ANY tournament for next 3 or 4 months! whats going on??

  • because lin dan is so fullof himself

    n he thinks he doesnt even need to play super eries tournaments

  • he was participating in an intensive army style badminton training in china! so he did not compete in a few tournaments!...hich is also why his rank has dropped to 2nd place...but still the best player for me!love his theatrics,style and agility of play!this dude is crazy

  • yes i was told that he went thru intensive training, but i never knew that it was army style. o.O his reaction is as fast lighting its freaky.

  • well i thought LCW already satisfied with the silver medal so he lets LD run the show lol...

  • LD looks so different, movement faster, net shot improved, smash more powerful... woah transformation....like using drugs or something... if you watch the Swiss open this year, there was not so much different seperating them, but this Olympics woah...like Heaven and Hell hahaha...wonder can LD can keep this up and win all major opens he attends to play next season lol..

  • but eh, LCW kinda played bad... LD was really on fire... but LCW.... he didn't play his best... I was expecting some very close games but I think I was wrong... But then again... the whole crowd mustve been cheering for LD cuz its in China anyway lol

  • no way dude!!!..LIN DAN completely outclassed him!!!check lee's defence?and u can see he was playing well...but lin dan kept him guessing and followed up on smashes thats wat made the difference!all lee's games that he wins over lin dan are bcoz lin dan plays around with him...as in clearing and dropping and a smash once in a while...btw...lin dans head to head with lee chong wei is 11:4...

  • lin dan.. too good.

  • how i wish i could meet them face to face personally.

  • actually i extremely admire and like them. if i can ever reach their standards, i would be jumping for joy already.

  • true. XD

  • the best vs the best..

  • i know it is very hard to push to that standard of lin dan. what i am trying to say that if you cannot push your standard any further, then let it be. however, if it still can be pushed further, push it bit by bit. it is possibe to win him. all of us are human. we got our own weakness and one of them is human reaction time.

  • so are your still neighbours? Hai...if there is no school during the olympics period, i would definitely have gone down to give my support to him. Fortunately, i still got to watch the match on television and my family was cheering for him.

  • ok. i understand your point of view.

  • LCW is my kampung folk neighbour. I admire his talent but up to 2nd tier standard only whereas Lin D is a class above others. Even our own players Wong Chun Hann and LCW himself admitted so...and Peter Gade too.. so why can't we accept it and improve instead of trying to fool ourselves that LCW is the better player.

  • ok. that is your own perspective. So i cannot say anything. well it is ALSO a pity that many people are unable to put themselves into other people's shoes. how sad is that.

  • In this world, everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths. We train to develop our potential to the fullest. We try our very best to avoid making mistakes. This applies to sports, music and academic. I hope you understand my point of view.

  • by the way, gold with honours is the highest award that one can attain. If you think it is easy, please think again. In addition, perfecting a piece is not an easy task too. Even though it is an easy piece, the jugdes expect a higher standard from them. If it is a hard piece, just imagine how much time need to be spent to perfect the piece. Hard work does pays off. This applies to sports too. Nothing is impossibe so long as they have the will to persevere on.

  • For example, there is SYF (Singapore Youth Festival) in Singapore. It is a competition where all the performing arts group, such as chinese orchestra, compete for the best results. Just for your information, i am in Chinese orchestra and so i will use it as an example. I am not surprised if one particular chinese orchestra, which has attained silver during the 2006 SYF competition, suddenly attained a gold with honours next year.

  • However, we cannot forget that a miracle might occur. If a person is willing to work hard, his standard will definitely soar even to a greater height. Ultimately, i feel that the titles given to these players are subjected to change. I think you will understand what i mean. From these games, we obviously can see all those players' standards. However, we cannot speculate what will happen in the future as there is no concrete evidence yet.

  • Aiyah...just stop commenting mean things.

  • Chinese are jerks? WHO BROUGHT US HERE 50 YEARS AGO!? SO stfu

  • by the way u talk you are a Malaysian.

  • woah woah chill....wtf is this rubbish about Sp3rmKidz..and btw...please improve the grammar.

  • The govt should award to only gold. Nothing for silver then i believe LCw will win. So much award, he has already grand on silver surely, what for paly so hard!!! The stupid weak knee man. I feel so a shame. So a shame in the final. REmember our last win in Thomas Cup!! fight till the end!! Those are the ppl i admire. Aim higher!!...If Lcw go to war, we will lost. If Lcw do business, surely i wont invite him. If Lcw being a caoch, our player only become history then champion.

  • Well I'm a Malay girl from Malaysia. But whtv I'll support LCW Malaysia Boleh! No matter even any races you guys from we're all Malaysian. I'm proud to be Malaysian. LCW tried his best but maybe it's Lin Dan luck to shine. I'm also heratbroken at first but after 3 days the tournament over I accept this fate & think positive about his failure. & It's a lie if none of the badminton player failed. Example Lin Dan last time he also failed but he wake up from dreams

  • At least Kido/Hendra won^^

  • don't blame chong wei of malaysia alone, we should blame the men's double kien kiat - boon heong & tan fook - wan wah for not even made it to the quarter..suck big time

  • It looks as if there was a match fixing. LEE LOOSES FOR LIN OF CHINA.
