“What defines an athlete just isn’t essentially the flexibility to play the massive pictures, however the means to provide them on the massive stage, when it actually issues. Many athletes have the abilities, and due to this fact the potential to win an occasion, however it’s a uncommon and treasured means to regulate the nerves and be impressed to new heights, slightly than being inhibited by the overwhelming weight and strain imposed by the will to succeed.
There are countess examples in sport – golfer Tiger Woods in his prime, tennis participant Roger Federer, and in #badminton Lin Dan exemplified this uncommon and treasured means. Regardless of profitable lower than half the variety of Superseries titles than his pal and rival Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan’s file within the massive tournaments is unequalled, 2 x Olympic Gold, 2 x Asian Video games Gold, and 5 x world champion.
Though not as broadly recognised, or prolific of their achievements, Lee Yang and Wang Chi Lin additionally possessed that means to boost their efficiency when it actually mattered to ranges seldom exhibited in different, much less vital matches or tournaments. One thing which is illustrated by their outstanding file.
● They by no means misplaced a #WorldTour last at 500 or above (equal to a Superseries).
● The primary males’s doubles pair to win titles at #WTFinals, 1000, 750, 500 and 300 stage.
● And the primary males’s doubles PAIR to win 2 consecutive Olympic Golds.
The truth that they solely gained one title between their two #Olympic Golds, highlights their means to rise to the event, to provide their greatest on the most important and most vital sporting stage of all.
Following the conclusion of the #TaipeiOpen2024, Lee Yang leaves the world stage. As a participant he was good on the entrance courtroom, and a grasp of the hardly ever used crouch defence. As a character he was at all times respectful and even self-effacing.
I, like many, am unhappy to see him go, however Lee Yang leaves a legacy. His partnership with Wang Chi Lin has impressed a era of males’s doubles gamers from Chinese language-Taipei – on the world rankings printed as we speak they’ve 14 pairs within the high 100, which is the same as Indonesia (8) and Denmark (6) mixed.
Completely satisfied retirement Lee Yang.
