Lin Dan (born October 14, 1983)[1] is a Chinese professional badminton player. He is a two-time Olympic champion, five-time World champion, as well as a six-time All England champion.
Widely regarded as the greatest badminton player of all time,[3][4][5] by the age of 28 Lin had completed the "Super Grand Slam", having won all nine major titles in the badminton world: Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, Super Series Masters Finals, All England Open, Asian Games, and Asian Championships, becoming the first and only player to achieve this feat.[6][7] He also became the first men's singles player to retain the Olympic gold medal by winning in 2008 and defending his title in 2012.[8] Winning the Malaysian Open in 2017 marked Lin's success in having won every major title in the badminton world.[9]
In 2004, he was dubbed "Super Dan" by opponent Peter Gade after winning the All England Open final, and the nickname has since been widely used by his fans as well as the media to refer to him, in recognition of his achievements.[10][11]
Personal life
Lin was born to a Hakka family in Shanghang County, Longyan, Fujian. At a young age, Lin Dan was encouraged to learn to play the piano by his parents, and to be a pianist. However, he chose to play badminton instead. Having started his training at the age of five, he was scouted by the People's Liberation Army Sports Team after winning the National Junior Championships aged twelve, and was enlisted into the Chinese National Badminton Team in 2001, when he was 18.[179][180][181]
Lin has been in a relationship with Xie Xingfang, herself a former world champion, since 2003.[182] They were quietly engaged on December 13, 2010 in Haizhu, Guangzhou. Xie initially denied but later acknowledged romantic involvement with Lin, who reacted angrily at the public exposure of their relationship, citing reasons of personal privacy.[183] The two were married on September 23, 2012 and the wedding ceremony was held at the Beijing University of Technology.[184]
Lin had five tattoos visible during the 2012 Summer Olympics. His upper left arm has a Christian cross,[185] his lower left arm has five stars, his right upper arm reads "until the end of world",[186] a double "F" lettering on his lower right arm, and his initials "LD" are tattoed on the back of his neck.[187] These tattoos have been the subject of controversy due to his military and religious status.[185][188]
On October 17, 2012, he became the first active Chinese badminton player to accept a master's degree, which was presented at Huaqiao University.[189] His autobiography, Until the End of the World, was published after he successfully defended his Olympic title at the London 2012 Olympics.[190]
Awards
Lin won the Eddie Choong Player of the Year award for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007.[192] He also secured the BWF Best Male Player of the Year in 2008.[193] Lin was voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) during the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.[194] On January 16, 2011, he was voted as the 2010 best male athlete in CCTV Sports Personality of the Year for his clean sweep in major badminton titles.[195]
Viktor Axelsen (born 4 January 1994) is a Danish badminton player. He was the 2017 World Champion and the bronze medalist at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1] He won the 2010 World Junior Championships, beating Korea's Kang Ji-wook in the final to become the first ever European player to hold the title.[2] Axelsen was crowned European men's singles champion in 2016 and 2018.[3]
Axelsen was born in Odense, and at six years old, his father introduced him to badminton, playing the games at the Odense badminton club.[4][5] He lived with his father after his parents divorced, then lived alone in Copenhagen at the age of 17 and joined the national team.[6] His father Henrik Axelsen ran a small advertising agency for a number of years, but now works full time as a manager for his son, and his mother Gitte Lundager has a shop in central Odense with a hairdressing salon, cosmetics and fashion clothing. He was named as 2004 Player of the Year by Odense badminton club.[7]
