KUALA LUMPUR: Former badminton doubles great Razif Sidek praised China’s badminton chief coach Li Yongbo for bringing back five-time world champion Lin Dan just in time.
On Sunday, the 31-year-old Lin Dan nailed the Asian Badminton Championships (ABC) in Gimcheon, South Korea. A week earlier, he won the China Masters Grand Prix Gold title in Changzhou, China.
The back-to-back tournaments were Lin Dan’s first two international stints since winning the world title for the fifth time in Guangzhou in August last year.
At the final, Lin Dan won the world title after his long-time rival Lee Chong Wei retired while trailing 17-20 in the rubber game.
