He is lucky uncle Chen Long had already past his prime. In addition, Chen Long also isn't in perfect form during this competition due to blisters in one of his feet. This is like a match up between Axelsen [at his best] vs Chen Long at his 60% capacity. If Axelsen met Chen Long in his prime form, [2014, 2015, 2016] No way Axelsen would have beaten him. Conclusion: Axelsen is lucky to live in a generation of mediocre MS PLAYERS. HAHA

@LouiseAndersen1991

And the world championsships in 2017 and All England in 2020. In fact, I would argue that Kenneth is a better coach than he was a player

I came to know that Chen Long had developed a blister on the ball of his foot during the group stage of the competition. It turned into a blood blister and it was so bad that “he couldn't run”. “Chen Long had two big blisters on the sole of his foot which affected his movements. But he didn’t give up and fought hard for every point

The amount of work he put to achieve this is insane. Years and years of work to get to this point. The tears show how strong of a person he is. At the same time such a sportsmanship

Victor 's game was great . Shot retrieval was sublime. Once he built the lead, there was no way back. Chen long was very gracious in defeat, smiling where as Victor was hysterical. It almost seemed unnatural crying. May be it was too much of pentup emotions for him.

I remember many years ago when Peter Gade retired. People said Viktor Axelsen will be the next Peter Gade. I must say they are not wrong. Denmark has another top badminton player and he gained gold in the Olympic! Kinda unfortunate for Chen Long since I read that he was actually injured (his sole foot bled) since early stages of the tournament. but he persevered until he reached final. Congrats Viktor Axelsen for gold medal and Congrats Chen Long for silver medal!
