The 36 year old Lin Dan of the World Championships is out in one round, how much does age affect the

No one can always be undefeated in the arena, and athletes are injured due to the usual overtraining, coupled with the decline in physical function and speed due to age, which has a very obvious impact on the level of athletes.

From the past two years, we can observe:Lin Dan's problem now is not his playing skills, but his fitness. In the game, if the opponent was entangled in the first game, the score rose alternately, and it took a long time, but in the second game, Lin Dan's physical fitness began to obviously fail to keep up in the third game, and he repeatedly made mistakes because he couldn't hold it. Chinese badminton star Lin Dan used to be the best player in the world, but lately it has become more and more aware that the era of Lin Dan is retiring.

This is an indisputable fact, Lin Dan's energy and competitive state continue to decline, and Lin Dan is no longer allowed to participate in too many competitions, and now he is selectively participating, feeling that he is playing with his life. Lin Dan is getting older, his explosiveness is low, his assault is less, and his physical strength can't keep up, but he is still fighting on the court, and we can still feel his love for badminton from the heart, and his remembrance and reluctance to the court.

In fact, I think that what really affects the level of athletes on the field is not the youth, but the mentality of the athletes. The psychological state of competitive athletes plays a pivotal role in the game, like some players whose psychological quality is not good enough will appear to play has been very unstable, technically speaking, it is really not too big a problem, but at the critical moment it will drop the chain, it is not easy to use, and it is psychologically unbearable, so it is still impossible to carry the flag.

Age can be said to have an indelible impact on athletes, like many gymnasts who must retire when they reach a certain age.

There are really very few people like Lin Dan who still participate in sports at the age of 36, and age has a great impact on them, and they can't exercise anymore

Older athletes will not be able to exercise a lot, and physical strength will not be enough, and it will form a kind of load.

As you get older, your body will become weaker and weaker, and your athletic ability will naturally not be as good as before.

With the increase of age, the physical skills and qualities have declined, especially the physical strength and reaction ability will have a great disadvantage.

Age still has a great impact on athletes, because when they are young, they are very physically strong, but as they get older, their physical fitness decreases.

Because athletes can perform better at the age of **, if they are older, all aspects of physical coordination and physical fitness will decline.

Lin Dan is in his thirties, and he is still competing in the World Series, not because he has no one behind him, nor for the so-called honor, in the face of a drop in rankings, after a round of tours, and being surpassed by many latecomers, he still insists, just because he loves badminton, and has loved it for a long, long time.

When it comes to Chinese badminton, we have to mention the legend of the badminton world, known as Lin Dan, known as Super Dan, Lin Dan's achievements in badminton are believed to be unrivaled so far, he was the only Grand Slam player in the history of world badminton, so far Lin Dan has won a total of 21 world-class championship awards, no badminton player is not timid when it comes to the name of Lin Dan, but it is such a man who once dominated the ball world, and it is inevitable that he will lose his luster with age.

Lin Dan began to learn badminton when he was 5 years old, when he was a child, he was the only child in the class who played with his left hand, although Lin Dan's skills were not the best in the class, but because of his outstanding physical fitness, the coach paid special attention to him, and then began to focus on cultivating Lin Dan. Lin Dan's badminton road is not smooth, Lin Dan has been able to endure hardships since he was a child, and even if he left home at a young age, he was reluctant and unaccustomed to it. Lin Dan once had a period of military life when he was a teenager, because of his outstanding ball skills, Lin Dan was favored by the People's Liberation Army, and then became a formal soldier, at that time Lin Dan not only had to practice badminton, but also had to train hard with his comrades every day.

In 2000, Lin Dan entered the national team, and then began to create his own dynasty, once Lin Dan can be said to be invincible, ranked first in the world badminton world, the only one who can compete with him is the Malaysian brother Lee Chong Wei, there was once such a saying to describe the strength of Lin Dan and Li Chong Wei "both Shengyu and He Shengliang", the two on the field are equal opponents, and the two are like-minded friends off the field, but later because Li Zongwei was suffering from cancer, Lee Chong Wei's badminton journey seems to have entered the countdown.

However, the performance of the veteran Lin Dan in the past two years does not seem to be very ideal, and it cannot be compared with the previous state, but fans also said that after all, Lin Dan is really no longer young. The badminton players of his time have long since retired and transferred to other industries, only he still insists on his own world, for this Lin Dan said, for retirement and other Tokyo Olympics before talking, and his old opponent Li Zongwei has not retired, how can he miss the appointment?

Not long ago in the Asian Cup in Malaysia, Lin Dan, who had been insulated from the champion for a long time, finally won the gold medal again, but after the game, Lin Dan squatted for a long time and couldn't get up. This also makes fans worry about Lin Dan's future games, and everyone hopes that he can successfully enter the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and even more hope that he can set another record.

The 36-year-old Lin Dan's world ranking has been declining, but he has not chosen to retire because Lin Dan hopes to participate in five Olympic Games and wants to achieve this record, so he has continued to participate in the Olympic points competition. However, on March 32, 2020, the BWF announced the cancellation of more than a dozen tournaments after the Olympic points competition. The Olympic points competition finally ended with the All England Championships, and Lin Dan won 19 places and missed the Tokyo Olympics, and now Lin Dan is really retiring.

Athletes generally retire before the age of 35, but Lin Dan has always wanted to participate in this Olympic Games, in addition to achieving five Olympic Games, Lin Dan also wants to compete with Malaysia's Olympian Lee Chong Wei again, but in July 2019, the 35-year-old Lee Chong Wei announced that he had to retire because of cancer, and also said: "Lin Dan especially hopes to be able to participate in five Olympic Games, but now that the new stars in the badminton world have risen, Lin Dan does not need to prove his strength anymore" 。

After Lee Chong Wei announced his retirement, Lin Dan did not change his decision to participate in the Olympic points competition, even if his results were not very satisfactory, but he still persevered. In the All England Championships in the Tokyo Olympic Points Tournament, China had two fans in the top 10, while Lin Dan was eliminated in the second round, stopping at 19th, and the Olympic Points Tournament needed to be less than 16, Lin Dan lost the qualification to participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

For athletes, or never give up, hard work is their sportsmanship. Lin Dan once said: "Generally, everyone chooses to retire at the age of 35, but my physical function is still very good, and I gave up without serious illness and pain?"

Lin Dan wants to encourage young athletes in the new year with his insistence on playing and competing, so that they don't give up easily. Lin Dan also said that during the Beijing Olympics, Guo Jingjing endured the pain and competed in the Olympics again and won very good results, which may be one of the reasons why Lin Dan did not retire.

Because Lin Dan does not admit defeat, likes the sport of badminton, dedicates his life to badminton, and does not want to leave the court, so he is still persevering.

Because he really loves the sport. Despite his age, he still wants to participate in these competitions and improve his strength.

Because playing is his favorite thing, even if the level is not good now, he still has to persevere.

For Lin Dan to stop in the second round of the World Championships, some people reviewed Lin Dan's career and found that this was Lin Dan's worst record, and many people felt that Lin Dan should not play like this, so they also expressed their disappointment. So this time Lin Dan stopped the record created in the second round of the World Championships, does this mean that Lin Dan's era has passed?

My answer is no.

In Avengers 4; In Endgame", Iron Man snapped his fingers in order to eliminate Thanos, and finally sacrificed himself, which is a very great act, but does this also mean that Iron Man will withdraw from the hero stage? Actually, some of the words of Iron Man himself give us the answer, even though I am dead, I am still a hero. So the real hero never ends.

Although Lin Dan and Iron Man are not comparable. But there is no doubt that they are all heroes in a certain field, Iron Man brings hope to the people in the film, and Lin Dan brings the dawn of victory to our national feather, although this dawn will not last forever, but there will be new forces to replace this power and continue this dawn

So even if one day Lin Dan can't play well, or is about to retire and stop playing, he is still an indispensable force in the history of our national feather, because heroes never end.

Even if there are new people who will continue to move forward in the future, and there will continue to be people who will step on the stage of Guoyu, there may be fewer and fewer people who pay attention to Lin Dan, but this does not mean that the era of Lin Dan has passed, because it is the paving of the predecessors that the people behind can walk so steadily and comfortably.

So I don't think Lin Dan's time has passed, his time is still there.

Of course not, the Lin Dan era is forever, and even if he stops at the worst record, he is still great.

Of course not, one game doesn't tell the whole story, and one defeat doesn't mean another.

Yes, because their strength has been certified by many people.

No, everyone will make mistakes, and his strength is also obvious to all.

No, the glory of Lindane will not be erased, and we will not forget the honor that Lindane has brought to the country.

I don't think so, it's just that once in a while I don't play well, it's normal.

No, it's a game, and it will depend on the future.

Not really. People make mistakes, and he is also human. Hopefully he can adjust his form soon!

In the early autumn of 2017, Glasgow was exceptionally cold, and Lin Dan returned here with regrets. Ten years ago, the arena here gave him a slap in the face when he was just starting out. Ten years later, the night that just passed still doesn't belong to him.

This time, the winner was the young man across the net from Lin Dan - Denmark's Viktor Axelsen.

Perhaps it was the defeat at the Rio Olympics that made Lin Dan full of desire for the championship again. In order to get to Glasgow, he started a crazy scoring mode from the beginning of the season. In the first half of the year, he won two championships in the Swiss and Malaysia Super Series, and in just two months, he made his World Championship points in the top eight and qualified for the World Championships.

In this World Championships, people are looking forward to another "Lin Li War" as usual, but Li Chongwei's first-round upset added another chill to Glasgow. At the same time, Lin Dan's path to qualification was not smooth, and against Holst and Usef, he both won 2:1 and stumbled into the quarterfinals.

When the remarks of "the veteran is old" came and went, Lin Dan, who was in form, made a strong counterattack with two 2:0. On the night of defeating the top seed and South Korean star Sun Wanhu and breaking into the men's singles final, Lin Dan faced ** and finally revealed his heart:

The outside world kept talking about my age, but no one could see my efforts except my coach. ”

Desperate for a title, the 33-year-old Lin Dan worked hard to keep him competitive, and finally, he was within reach of the six men's singles titles at the World Championships, while across the court, the 23-year-old Axelsen was also ready to win his first World Championship title.

As a result, the two players with a ten-year age difference had an extraordinary men's singles final at the World Championships.

In the first game, the veteran Lin Dan kept challenging the opponent's patience, while Axelsen reminded him through tireless killing that youth is capital. The two sides played inextricably until 20:19, Lin Dan held a game point, but Lin Dan, who has always been reassuring in the handling of key points, made mistakes one after another and handed over the first game to others.

After the game, Lin Dan also admitted that the mistake at the end of the first game was the turning point of the game: "I was a little impatient in handling the key points at the end of the first game, and if I won it at 20:19, the performance of the whole game would be even more different." ”

In the second game, the psychologically superior Viktor Axelsen was full of firepower, and his vigorous killing made it difficult for Lin Dan to parry, and finally the Dane got his wish and won the first World Championship championship in his career.

missed the sixth championship of the World Championships, Lin Dan's expression still looked unfazed. But in a trance, looking at the new champion who was lying on the ground opposite, hiding his face and crying, I wonder if he remembered Madrid 11 years ago, the teenager who fought for the first world championship title in his career with 34 blood-pounding kills in the final.
