Lin Dan’s Legacy Grows After Retaining Gold Medal at London Olympic Games
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China's top badminton player, Lin Dan accomplished what many had expected him to do years before when he stood atop the podium to collect the men's singles gold medal over his rival, Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei.
Four years later in London the man known as "Super Dan" found himself in the men's final again going up against the same opponent and once again the result was the same as the defending Olympic champion knocked off Lee in a thrilling final that should have at least made up for the debacle that happened in the women's doubles competition.
