Career
2007–2008: Asian and World Junior Champions
Chen emerged as an Asian Junior Champion in 2007,[2] and at the same year, he won the World Junior Championships.[3] He also helped the Chinese team won the 2007 Suhandinata Cup.[1]
In 2008, Chen was selected to join the national first team.[1]
2009–2010: Three tour titles, Thomas Cup and Asian Games Team Champions, World #4
Chen won his first professional title at the Grand Prix Gold event in the 2009 Philippines Open, beating Hu Yun of Hong Kong in the final.[1]
Chen participated in the Korea Open Super Series in January. He made it through to the semi-finals before losing to Danish player Peter Gade in three games, 13–21, 21–10, 17–21.[4] A week later, in the Malaysia Open, he lost in the opening round to Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand.[5]
In March, at the German Open, Chen lost in the final to his teammate, Bao Chunlai in two straight games. At the All England Open, he registered an impressive victory over 8th seed Jan Ø. Jørgensen in the first round[6][7] but fell to Korea's Son Wan-ho 18–21, 21–18, 19–21 in the second round.[8] He followed up this disappointment with his best-ever performance in a Super Series event by making it through to the final of the Swiss Open, where he finished runner-up to compatriot Chen Jin.[9]
Chen was part of the Chinese team that won gold at the
Chen obtained a second team gold medal of the year with China at the Asian Games held in Guangzhou, but did not feature in the individual event.[13] More success followed when he won the China Open Super Series two weeks later. His passage to the final included a controversial walkover by Lin Dan in the quarter-finals and a hard-fought victory over current World champion Chen Jin in the semi-finals. In the final, he squared off against teammate Bao Chunlai, emerging as the victor after 75 minutes of play.[14] Chen's attempt at back-to-back Super Series titles came to an end at the hands of former Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat in the semi-final of the Hong Kong Open the following week.[15] Chen's strong finish to the year saw his world ranking rise to a career-high of 4th, briefly becoming the top ranked Chinese player.[16]
2011: Three Superseries titles
In the first tournament of the new season, Chen Long was convincingly beaten by world number 1 Lee Chong Wei in the semi-final of the Malaysia Open. It took just 39 minutes for the Malaysian to blow away the upcoming Chinese star with a score of 21–9, 21–9.[17] The effects of the demoralising defeat were still evident a week later when Chen lost in the second round of the Korea Open to Japanese player Kenichi Tago.[18] His first individual title of the year came at the Thailand Open, where he beat experienced Korean player Lee Hyun-il in the final.[19]
In August, Chen was eliminated in the first round of the World Championships by unheralded Guatemalan player Kevin Cordón in what was one of the shock results of the tournament. Cordón emerged the victor after clinching the third set 27–25 in a thrilling encounter.[20] Chen sprang back from his shock exit from the World Championships by winning his first China Masters title after defeating his compatriot Chen Jin in the final.[21] A week later, he won his first Japan Open by avenging his Malaysia Open loss to world number 1 Lee Chong Wei in the final.[22] In October, Chen won his third consecutive Super Series tournament with another victory over Lee Chong Wei, this time in the final of the Denmark Open in its first year as a Premier Super Series event.[23]
His highlights of the season were followed by an exit from the semi-finals of
2012: Second Thomas Cup, Olympic bronze and First Superseries Finals title
In January, Chen reached the semi-finals of the
In the 2012 Summer Olympics, Chen was defeated in the semi-final of the men's singles competition by Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia, 21–13, 21–14,[33] but went on to win bronze after defeating Lee Hyun-il in the bronze medal match.[34][35] After the Olympics, Chen's form picked up tremendously, starting from winning the China Masters in September, where he beat Hong Kong's Hu Yun in the final.[36] In October, he reached the semi-finals of the Denmark Open but was eliminated by his compatriot Du Pengyu once again.[37] In November, he won both the China Open and the Hong Kong Open, beating Wang Zhengming[38] and Lee Chong Wei[39][40] respectively in the finals. At year-end, BWF Superseries Finals, Chen managed to avenge his previous defeats to Du Pengyu on tours, by beating him in the final to win his first Superseries Finals title.[41][42]
2013: First All England title and Sudirman Cup Champion
Chen carried his good form into the new season. In February, Chen won his first German Open title, defeating Tommy Sugiarto in the final.[43] In March, Chen won convincingly against Lee Chong Wei in the 2013 All England Open in the finals, 21–17, 21–18.[44] In April, at the Badminton Asia Championships, Chen once again lost to his teammate, Du Pengyu, albeit in the final this time.[45] Despite missing the last two Sudirman Cup editions in 2009 and 2011, Chen Long emerged as the first singles player to help China lift its fifth consecutive trophy in 2013 edition.[46] At the BWF World Championships held in August, Chen reached the quarter-finals but was defeated by Lin Dan.[47] He won the Denmark Open against Lee Chong Wei, 24–22, 21-19,[48][49] and then successfully defended his China Open title against compatriot Wang Zhengming in three games.[50]

He would then defend his World Championship title at the 2015 BWF World Championships held in Jakarta. Chen reached the final of the championships with ease, winning in 2 sets over each of his opponents, including Japanese rising star and then-World No.4 Kento Momota 21–9, 21–15 in the semi-finals. In a rematch of the 2014 final, Chen was again victorious over rival Lee Chong Wei, successfully defending his World Champion title with an easier scoreline of 21–14, 21–17.[70] This marked the second World Championship title for Chen, which secured him the position of Year-End No. 1, again. Chen would follow this up with another Super Series victory at the 2015 Korea Open Super Series, during which he defeated unseeded Ajay Jayaram 21–14, 21–13 in the final.[71]
In October, Chen continued his fine form by defeating Tommy Sugiarto in the final to win the Denmark Super Series Premier.[72] This was Chen's 8th Super Series title, bringing his total SS (including Premier) tally to 16 and year-to-date titles to 7, the most he has achieved in one season. In November 2015, Chen reached the China Open final without losing a single set, however, a resurgent Lee Chong Wei proved tough to beat, losing the finals in two straight sets 21–15, 21–11, halting his 7 straight finals win in 2015.[73] In December 2015, Chen made the semi-finals of the Super Series Finals in Dubai.[74]
2016: Olympic gold
Chen's first tournament of the season was the
At the 2016 Olympic Games, Chen Long was the second seed behind World No.1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia. After defeating Niluka Karunaratne of Sri Lanka 21–7, 21–10[80] and Poland's Adrian Dziółko 21–12, 21–9[81] during the Group Stage, Chen Long was qualified for the knockout rounds. In the quarter-finals, he defeated Son Wan-ho of South Korea by a tight scoreline of 21–11, 18–21, 21–11,[82] after which he defeated eventual bronze-medalist Denmark's Viktor Axelsen 21–14, 21–15 in the semi-finals.[83] Facing Lee Chong Wei in the Badminton Men's Singles final at the Pavilion 4, Riocentro on 20 August 2016, Chen Long clinched the Olympic gold medal after he defeated the Malaysian (Lee Chong Wei) and won the match in straight games with a score of 21–18, 21–18, earning his first Olympic gold medal.[84][85]
In November, Chen participated in the

In November, at the China Open Superseries Premier in Tahoe, China, Chen defeated Viktor Axelsen in the men's singles final by the rubble set game, 21–16, 14–21, 21–13 and gets his fourth China Open title.[93] At the Yonex–Sunrise Hong Kong Open, Chen lost to Lee Chong Wei by straight-set game, 14–21, 19–21.[94] In the Dubai Superseries Final, Chen withdrew due to a knee injury.[95]

2021: Olympic silver
At the delayed
Retirement
After not competing on tour since the pandemic-induced postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Chen, at the age of 34, officially declared his retirement from professional badminton. The decision came after thoughtful discussions with his family, as Chen recognised the importance of prioritising the well-being of his loved ones and the pursuit of a more balanced family life. These factors played a significant role in influencing his choice to retire from the national team, marking the end of his illustrious badminton career.[134]
Personal life
Chen married former World No.1 badminton player Wang Shixian in 2017, after over a decade together.[135] Wang gave birth to a son in June 2019.[136]
Chen Long's surname 谌 was actually pronounced Shèn[137] but the word 谌 is pronounced chén when not used as a surname. As a result of this, mispronunciation happens a lot, and early in his career when he enrolled in China's athlete system his surname was registered incorrectly as Chen. He tried to correct it but failed because of bureaucracy and finally let go of it.
