Lin Dan (born 14 October 1983)
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.[9][10]
On 26 May 2023, Lin was inducted to BWF Badminton Hall of Fame.[11]
Early life
Lin was born in Fujian, China. At a young age, Lin 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.[12][13][14]
Badminton career
Junior events
Lin emerged as a winner in the 2000 Badminton Asia Junior Championships in both the team and the singles events. He was also a member of the winning Chinese team and a boys' singles semi-finalist in the 2000 World Junior Championships.[15]
2001–2003: Senior debut and Four tour titles
2001 marked the start of then 18 year-old Lin's professional career. In his first final, at the Asian Badminton Championships, he was thrashed by compatriot Xia Xuanze.[16]
In 2002 Lin took his first title at the
Lin started the 2003 season with a third round defeat in the All England Open.[27] He reached a final later in the year at the Japan Open but was beaten by his compatriot Xia Xuanze once again.[28] Lin then made his inaugural debut in the World Championships in Birmingham, England. He breezed past Per-Henrik Croona and Przemysław Wacha in the first two rounds, but was beaten by Xia again in his third round match.[29] After the world meet, he was eliminated in the semifinals of the Singapore Open,[30] third round of the Indonesia Open,[31] and second round of the Malaysia Open.[32] However, Lin ended the season strongly by capturing the Denmark,[33] Hong Kong,[34] and China Opens,[35] and finishing runner-up at the German Open.[36]
2004: World #1, All England and Thomas Cup champions
Lin had a good start to 2004, earning the BWF's number one world ranking for the first time in February. He helped China win the qualifying round of Thomas Cup and then captured the Swiss Open.[37][38] He won his first ever All England Open title by beating Peter Gade in the final.[39] He reached the semifinal of the Japan Open before going off to Jakarta, Indonesia in May for the Thomas Cup campaign.[40]
In
Lin suffered setbacks later in the 2004 season when he was ousted in the quarterfinals of the Malaysia Open,[45] and was reported to have a leg injury in mid-July, prior to the Olympic Games.[46] Lin "crashed" in his first Olympic Games when, as the first seed, he was ousted early by Singapore's Ronald Susilo, who claimed Lin was "too eager to win".[47][48] However, Lin bounced back with three titles at the Denmark,[49] German,[50] and China Opens,[51] and ended the season as a semi-finalist at the Indonesia Open.[52]
2005: Sudirman and World Cup success
Lin retained his number one world ranking during 2005, winning his second German and Hong Kong Open titles, as well as the Japan Open, China Masters, and World Cup tournaments.[53][54][55][56][57] He also helped China recapture the Sudirman Cup (combined men's and women's team championship) when it shut-out both defending champion South Korea in the semifinals and Indonesia in the final.[58][59]
Lin failed to retain his All England title, losing a three set final to teammate
2006: World Champion, Second All England and Thomas Cup triumph
Lin started the season by reaching the semifinals of the
However, he won six individual titles in the season. He recaptured the All England Open,[72] and won the Chinese Taipei,[73] Macau,[74] Hong Kong,[75] and Japan Opens.[76] Most significantly, in Madrid, Spain that September he won his first world title after beating his compatriot Bao Chunlai in the final.[77]
In May, Lin and his teammates had extended China's Thomas Cup reign by shutting out Denmark 3–0 for a second consecutive title.[78] In October, he won his second World Cup men's singles title.[79]
2007: Consecutive World title, Third All England and Second Sudirman Cup
Lin Dan entered 2007 with a loss to South Korea's Park Sung-hwan in the round of 16 at the Malaysia Open.[80] A week later he captured the Korea Open by defeating Chinese teammate Chen Jin in the final.[81] He went on to win the German Open[82] and then the All England championships again, crushing compatriot Chen Yu 21–13, 21–12.[83] In June, Lin Dan was part of the Chinese Sudirman Cup team that retained the cup after beating Indonesia 3–0 in the final at Glasgow, Scotland.[84] Later in the season Lin Dan defeated Wong Choong Hann of Malaysia and became the China Masters champion for 2007.[85] In August, Lin Dan extended his reign as the world champion when he beat Indonesia's Sony Dwi Kuncoro 21–11, 22–20 in the final of the tournament held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[86] Lin Dan thus became the first man since Yang Yang to win back to back world championships.
2008: Olympic gold, Third Thomas Cup and Controversies
Lin started the season with a defeat in the final of the Korea Open to Lee Hyun-il.[87] It was a match filled with controversy as Lin had a scuffle with South Korea's coach Li Mao after a line call dispute. Lin refused to apologize and received no punishment from Badminton World Federation (BWF) after its probe of the altercation.[88][89] In March he suffered another defeat to his compatriot Chen Jin in the final of the All England Open,[90] which was followed by press accusations that Lin "gave" the match to Chen in order to increase Chen's ranking points for Olympic qualification (which placed stringent limits on the number of participants from any one country).[91] In the following week, Lin won his first Swiss Open.[92] At the Asia Championships, Lin was again accused of helping his compatriot when his loss to Chen Jin in the semifinals ensured Chen's qualification for the Olympic Games.[93]
On 10 April 2008, Lin was involved in yet another controversy when he struck coach Ji Xinpeng in front of his teammates and the media during an intra-squad tournament prior to the Thomas Cup. The incident was allegedly triggered by his unhappiness with Ji's arrangement of the starting line-up for the tournament.[94] Despite the episode, in May Lin proceeded to win each match he played in the Thomas Cup until China's semifinal clash with Malaysia when he lost rather tamely to Lee Chong Wei. However, China still managed to reach the final by edging Malaysia 3–2,[95] then retained the cup against South Korea with Lin's win at first singles helping China to a 3–1 victory.[96]
Lin won the Thailand Open, his last tournament before the 2008 Olympic Games.[97]
In the Beijing Olympic Games, he beat Hong Kong's Ng Wei in the first round,[98] Park Sung-hwan in the second round,[99] and Peter Gade in the quarterfinals.[100] He then beat his teammate Chen Jin in straight sets to set up a "dream" final against Lee Chong Wei.[101] However, the final was a one-sided match as Lin demolished Lee 21–12, 21–8, and became the first men's singles player to win the Olympic gold as a first seed.[102]
Not back in action until the China Open in November, Lin again beat Lee in the final,[103] before losing to Chen Jin once again in the Hong Kong Open.[104] Lin was eligible to participate in the lucrative Masters Finals in December, but due to the withdrawal of the whole Chinese contingent (citing weariness and injuries), he didn't take part in the tournament.[105]
2009: Third World and Sudirman Cup titles, Fourth All England
In March, at his first tournament appearance of 2009, Lin won his fourth All England title without dropping a game, defeating Lee Chong Wei in the final.[106] After this dominant performance, he lost to Lee in the final of Swiss Open a week later.[107]
In May, Lin participated in the Sudirman Cup helping China to consecutive 5–0 victories over England, Japan, and Indonesia.[108][109][110] In the semifinals against Malaysia Lin defeated Lee Chong Wei in straight games as China advanced to the final against South Korea with another shutout.[111] In the last round the same form held true as Lin beat Park Sung-hwan thus helping China to secure the Cup for the third time in a row, and each time without dropping a match in the series.[112]
During the rest of 2009 Lin dropped only two matches; in June in the quarterfinals of the Indonesia Open, and, perhaps most surprisingly, in the finals of December's East Asian Games in Hong Kong to South Korea's little known Choi Ho-jin.[113][114] Aside from those upsets, Lin dominated. In August in Hyderabad he became the first player to win the World Championships three times by beating compatriot Chen Jin in the final.[115] Later Dan would go on to win his fourth China Masters title[116] and first French Open title.[117] He ended his tournament winning streak in November with the China Open title before the late-year upset loss in Hong Kong.[118]
2010: Asiad gold, Fourth Thomas Cup and Asian champion
After starting the season disappointingly with quarterfinal losses at both the All England and Swiss Opens,[119][120] Lin won his first title of the year at the Badminton Asia Championships in New Delhi, which also marked his first victory at this annual event.[121]
Taking part in his fifth
After the Thomas Cup triumph, Lin played in the World Championships in Paris, France. He won his opening match[125] and then beat Henri Hurskainen and Bao Chunlai in the second and third rounds respectively[126][127] before being upset by Park Sung-hwan in the quarterfinals. That day also saw his archrival Lee Chong Wei exit from the tournament which was eventually won by Lin's compatriot Chen Jin.[128] Lin then bounced back to win the China Masters,[129] but lost the final of the Japan Open to Lee Chong Wei the following week,[130] and conceded walkovers in the quarterfinals of both the China Open,[131] and Hong Kong Open late in the year.[132]
However, Lin managed to win his first ever Asian Games gold medal in November by beating Lee Chong Wei in final,[133] thus, at 27, becoming the first player to win all of the present major titles available to Asian men in badminton, both individual and national team.[134] Lin was voted the most valuable player (MVP) at the games' closing ceremony.[135]
2011: Fourth World and Sudirman Cup success, Second Asian and First Super Series Masters Finals titles
Lin began the year with a withdrawal in the Malaysia Open's quarterfinals, which marked his third consecutive withdrawal since late 2010. This action brought some criticism, particularly by well known fellow competitor Taufik Hidayat.[136] The very next week Lin sprang back to win the first ever million dollar badminton tournament, Korea Open by beating Lee Chong Wei in the final.[137] He next won the German Open, beating his compatriot and reigning world champion Chen Jin in the final.[138]
At the prestigious
Healthy again in August, Lin won his fourth World Championship title by beating familiar rivals Peter Gade in the semifinal and Lee Chong Wei in a very tight three game final at Wembley Arena, a venue which would host the badminton competition for 2012 Summer Olympics.[145]
The rather up and down season for Lin continued with the

At the
2013: Fifth World title
After his 2012 Olympic victory Lin did not make another tournament appearance until the 2013 Badminton Asia Championships, in April where, citing injury, he withdrew from the quarterfinals.[169] Amid some speculation that he was planning to retire, Lin was granted a special wild card entry into the World Championships in Guangzhou, as, despite his great achievements, his recent inactivity had caused his world ranking to fall below that of other Chinese players who would then normally fill the maximum quota of three entrants that any one country was allowed.[170] Without appearing in any tournament between the Badminton Asia Championships in April and the World Championships in August, Lin was able to convert this wildcard entry into his fifth world title. He won all of his matches in straight games until the final where, yet again, hard-luck Lee Chong Wei could not quite catch him in the third game rubber, and was forced to submit with a painful cramp down 17–20.[171]
2014: Second Asiad gold and Third Asian title
After seven month tournament absence, Lin, down to 104th in the official world rankings, returned in April and took titles in the China Masters and the Badminton Asia Championships in quick succession.[172] Lin was part of China's Thomas Cup team which defended its title in May, but because of his deflated ranking could only play at third singles. Consequently, when China met a talented and highly motivated Japanese team in the semifinals at New Delhi, Lin could only watch helplessly as Japan took the first two singles and a doubles to break China's ten year streak of men's world team titles.[173] Beyond this disappointment, the BWF would not grant Lin a wild card entry into the 2014 World Championships, as they did in 2013. Thus Lin could not defend his title which was won by Chinese teammate Chen Long who defeated the unlucky Lee Chong Wei in a close two game final.[174]
In June, Lin lost in the quarterfinals of Japan Open.[175] Shortly afterwards, he won the Australian Open, his first Super Series title since the 2012 All England Open.[176] In September, he successfully defended his men's singles title in the Incheon Asian Games and was also a part of the men's team winning the silver medal.[177] In November, Lin lost in the final of the China Open to Kidambi Srikanth from India.[178]
2015: Fourth Asian title and Fifth Sudirman Cup
In April, Lin won the men's singles title at the Badminton Asia Championships in China, defending his title won the previous year in South Korea. He defeated compatriot Tian Houwei 21–19, 21–8 in a match that lasted 50 minutes in the central city of Wuhan.[179] In May, Lin Dan contributed to China winning its 10th Sudirman Cup by defeating Japan's Takuma Ueda 21–15, 21–13 in the final for his team's third and decisive point. His return to the World Championships in August, however, was not particularly auspicious as he was routinely eliminated by Denmark's Jan O. Jorgensen in the quarterfinals, as Lin's compatriot Chen Long again prevailed over Lee Chong Wei in the finals. Recovering from this disappointment, in September, Lin won his only Super Series title of the year at the Japan Open, making a remarkable comeback after trailing 3–11 in the deciding game of the final against Denmark's young star Viktor Axelsen.[180]
2016: Sixth All England title
In March, Lin defeated Taiwan's
In April, Lin Dan beat world No. 1 Chen Long in straight games to lift his sixth China Masters crown in Jiangsu, China. Here Lin showed his competitive mettle by coming from 11 to 16 behind in the second game to clinch the match 23–21. In June, however, he was stunned in second round of
At the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, Lin sailed through his group round robin to qualify for the main draw. In the quarterfinals he was tested by India's Srikanth Kidambi, but pulled through 21–18 in the third game. This set up a semifinal confrontation with long-time rival Lee Chong Wei which drew great fan interest as the players, both in their thirties, were assumed to be near retirement. In another epic match Lee was finally able to reverse past Olympic and World Championship losses to Lin and prevail, 15–21, 21–11, 22–20.[185] But Lee's quest for Olympic gold after two silver medals ended with a disappointing finale, as he was beaten in two close games by Lin's compatriot Chen Long. In the bronze medal match, Lin played Denmark's Viktor Axelsen. After taking the first set 21–15, the two-time Olympic champion lost the next two and the match with a scoreline of 21–15, 10–21, 17–21.[186] After the Rio Olympics, he skipped all international tournaments for the remainder of the year.[187]
2017: First Malaysia Open title
In March, at the prestigious All England Championships Lin defeated Viktor Axelson in the quarterfinals but was eliminated in the semifinals by his countryman Shi Yuqi, more than twelve years Lin's Junior.[188] However, he bounced back to win the Swiss Open by beating Shi Yuqi in the finals.[189] In April he won the Malaysia Open for the first time by defeating Lee Chong Wei, who had virtually owned this title for more than a decade.[190] In the China Masters he lost in the semifinal to Qiao Bin,[191] and in the Badminton Asia Championship, where he recorded a semifinal win over Lee Chong Wei, he took a silver medal after losing to Chen Long in the final.[192] Lin was beaten in the German Open and Indonesian Open respectively in round of 16. He lost to Chen Long in the Australian Open quarter finals.[193]
At the
2018: Sixth Thomas Cup
In March, the 34-year-old Lin tied Rudy Hartono's record of reaching ten All England men's singles finals, but was foiled in his try for a seventh title by his much younger compatriot, Shi Yuqi in three exhausting games, 19–21, 21–16, 9–21.[195] In May, he won the New Zealand Open by beating talented Indonesian youngster Jonatan Christie in two close games, 21–14, 21–19.[196] Later that month, Lin was a member of the Chinese team which regained the Thomas Cup after four years of absence, though his team was never extended to a deciding 5th match which would have required his services in the third singles position.[197]
2019: Second Malaysia Open title
In his first tournament of 2019, Lin reached the final of the
2020: Pandemic shorten season
Lin begins the 2020 season poorly. In January, he was eliminated in the first round of the Malaysia Masters by Jan Ø. Jørgensen in two games, 19–21, 18–21.[202] The following week, he participated in the Indonesia Masters and was defeated in the first round again, this time by Viktor Axelsen, who beat him in two relatively easy games, 12–21, 14–21.[203] Lin then followed up with yet another first round exit at the Thailand Masters where he lost to Ng Ka Long.[204] At the All England Open held in March, he reached the second round but was defeated by compatriot Chen Long.[205] This will turn out to be his last tournament as the rest of the world tour were canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Retirement
On 4 July 2020, Lin announced his retirement, saying "at 37, pain and injuries no longer allow me to fight with my teammates. I have gratitude, a heavy heart and unwillingness."[206] After his retirement, he joined Instagram to stay connected with his fans all over the world.[207]
Rivalry with Lee Chong Wei
The Lee–Lin rivalry was a rivalry between two professional badminton players, Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan whose careers were almost exactly contemporaneous. The rivalry is often considered the greatest in the history of badminton even though Lin had the decided edge.[208][209][210] Of their 40 meetings, Lin won the head-to-head by 28–12.
Personal life
Lin has been in a relationship with
Lin had five tattoos visible during the 2012 Summer Olympics. His upper left arm has a Christian cross,[214] his lower left arm has five stars, his right upper arm reads "until the end of world",[215] a double "F" lettering on his lower right arm, and his initials "LD" are tattooed on the back of his neck.[216] These tattoos have been the subject of controversy due to his military and religious status.[214][217]
On 17 October 2012, he became the first active Chinese badminton player to accept a master's degree, which was presented at Huaqiao University.[218] His autobiography, Until the End of the World, was published after he successfully defended his Olympic title at the London 2012 Olympics.[219]
He and his wife Xie Xingfang had their first child "Xiao Yu" (Little feather) on 5 November 2016.[220] On 17 November 2016, he admitted to an affair and apologised on Weibo. Social media users had purportedly identified the woman as actress and model Zhao Yaqi.[221]
Honours and awards
Lin won the Eddie Choong Player of the Year award for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007.
On 16 January 2011, he was named China's best male athlete for 2010 in China Central Television's Sports Personality of the Year poll for his clean sweep in major badminton titles.[225]
On 26 May 2023, Lin was inducted into the BWF's Hall of Fame along with long-time rival, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia.[226][non-primary source needed]
