Why noone pick zhang nan eventhough he won four world championships and two Olympic gold in two discipline...?.. Zhang nan is such an underrated player.
present players rarely have knowledge about past players, it's sad since past players help badminton developed to this level now, with speciality like Liem Swie King' jump smash, Heryanto Arbi's 100 watt smash, Wu Dixi's spin serve etc..

It was Lee Chong Wei that he always looked up to, but he cannot say that anymore. This is well supported by the evidence of his return of serve posture, his LCW edition SHB01 + zf2 (exactly Chongwei's gear + posture)(around 2015/16). Also he mentioned a lot how Lee Chongwei supported him during his darkest time(during his ban). He simply just can't say that anymore. It became a hollow in his heart. When the old look-up-to died in his heart, there is no idol to him anymore.
LD and LCW are spectacular in that after all this time I think they are (if not) the only players who you could say became bigger than badminton itself. They contributed so much to popularizing the sport.
@@danlagi. Football is more popular, but LD and LCW are bigger to badminton than Messi and Ronaldo to football. To be honest, I think Pele is bigger to football than Messi and Ronaldo ever were. Pele was an inspiration for colored people to play football and made it as popular as it is nowadays where Messi and Ronaldo only won a lot of individual titles.
Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan are the greatest players of all time just like Pele and Maradona in football. They have contributed a lot to the sport and they will be remembered forever

For sure hendra & ahsan is most likely the idols of current double players, they've got so much respect and be in the top for so long. But i'm a bit shock with LZJ's answer because almost all malaysian's badminton idol is LCW but his answer is a bit different but for sure Chen Long and Victor are among top of the players for a long time
I think it's related to how LZJ wants himself to be based on his physical attributes. As a tall man, it is understandable that he wants to be like Chen Long or Viktor Axelsen who are tall. He clearly said he tried to play like them.
@@lexsoft3969 nah...Malaysian already know LZJ more admire chen long and viktor...LCW sometimes not agree with LZJ like left Badminton Association... zii jia does not love to play under government sports organisation.. instead train himself at viktor's place and get his own sponsorship...however its also good for him...thats what i heard..
Natsir was a damn legend. Only GL (Gao Ling), MJ (Ma Jin) and ZYL (Zhao Yunlei) could really hold a candle to her. The only person in the new gen I feel emulates LN spirit is probably HYQ
but he was detected doping. he n lin dan are the best but rudy hartono won all england 7x 6 in a row. no one ever did that. but rh is not really consistent
The fact that momota, Watanabe and TTY are some of the most creative and path blazing players of this current era I feel like maybe it shows they're not trying to be like anyone else, any idol, they're completely immersed in being their unique own style!
For role model in attitude, respectfull, integrity, fit body, Ups and down mental siklus i guess The DADDIES is the Living Idol (They still playing in high level) Such a legend.

LCW is a sore loser. You can lose some important match, but u cannot have a good feeling just because there is people supporting nevertheless. He have all the qualities to become a world champion but the lack of self demanding to improves his perseverance in the big moment is the reason why he never reach the top of the world.

He also is a great sportsman just like many other great champions like axelsen, taufik, lin dan, momota. Next time think about your response before you disrespect someone who has devoted their entire life to their sport.
Lzj can't play like lcw due to his height. He belongs to the group very tall player in badminton. Very tall player who excels in badminton are Chen Long in the past and currently Axelson.

Also my ideol is Lee Chong Wei , I m from India🇮🇳 I also proud our own legendary players in badminton but Lee Chong Wei always my fvrt because for me HE was A best sportsmanship badminton legend , I am now 21 years old and I want to play like him bcs He is my forever best sports player @andrewyuyoungearn2799
Feel like everyone just loves and appreciates Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei but seem to forget about a 3rd player who essentially formed the triumvirate of badminton singles and that was Chen Long
Yup 3 silver but for me it's both of them bcs sometimes it's not always about the playstyle or how good they are but sometimes it's about the attitude of the player
He was not consistent. He had much more talent left but he stopped playing because of his fight with organisation and lazy issues. He didn't win any medal after 2006. Not 1 medal. Not even super series title. All of them were kids in 2006, so they didn't know him.
to me which reflects my age, I would consider Rudy Hartono as the most naturally gifted player there ever was and should be rated as a living legend of the game, considering when he played the game it needed more physical ability as the games was harder then, the weight of the racket alone would be a struggle for current players to use.
But the question is not about who is the most gifted or talented player of all time so your preference towards the great Rudy Hartono(indeed, this legend is an absolutely gifted and the toughest player to beat back in the day during his era). However, if you say again that your no 1 idol in badminton is still Rudy, then thats a very good one you pick but sometimes being the most gifted doesnt necessarily means they are also someone else's idol (in their mind). For example, i can say the most gifted player that i ever witness in badminton is Lin Dan, but my no 1 idol is LCW although Lin Dan is a close second or third. Or i can say, among the women's badminton field the most gifted player for me would be, TTY due to her insane badminton skills but my no 1 idol is a tie between Susi Susanti and An Se Young due to their intensity and the extremely physical in nature and durable game play in nature that they can force their opponents to endure in order to win a match
Momota giving the most Japanese answer possible 😂
While Watanabe going chaotic neutral
i love Momota but after his answer i love him more.. humble, smart, respect for everyone. such a great personality!!
He is, I know right
That's why I love him so much
No matter what other people talk about him....
He is definitely a good politician. He should be the next BWF President.
We all know it was Lin Dan and Taufik ;)
I agree with you
agreed.
Kento Momota has the best answer!
More like he didnt watch badminton that mich growing up. He probably just liked to play it not so much about watching badminton part.
Lee chong wei 🇲🇾❤️
Momota's reply was awesome. Can't wait to see he is back in his original form
Rudy Hartono is the best, and He is a Legend, 8 time All England Champion!
for me: Lin & Lee
current players: someone I don't dare to say his name as I know I'd get laughed at
after watching this interview I guess TTY & Momota & Watanabe were saying they had no idol since they see themselves as ones and that's fair enough in my book
Momota 's defense & stamina back in 2019; TTY & Watanabe 's tactics esp Tai's deception and Yuta 's (i couldn't figure out any specific word to conclude but I'd say he always returns shots in the cases where his opponents thought he would've never returned and even won the rally)
back in 2020 or 2021, there was this little activity where BWF asked players to pick players (one from each of 4 or 5 categories) and form their own prefect player, I had Tai and/or Watanabe and/or Setiawan and/or Kevin Sukamuljo for intelligence
MS: Ardi B Wiranata (complete all around), Lin Dan
WS: Susi Susanti
MD: Hendra-Ahsan
MX: Liliyana Natsir

Gee u r right, he is like shonian manga character.

Why noone pick zhang nan eventhough he won four world championships and two Olympic gold in two discipline...?.. Zhang nan is such an underrated player.
Becoz people always focus on mens single.. mixed double not their favorite disciplin

From the era in 1950s, 1960s where there were legendary David Choong-Eddy Choong, Finn Kobero-Hamegaard Hansen, through 1970s, 1980s where Tjun-Tjun-Johan Wahyudi, Christian Hadinata-Ade Chandra, Park Yoo Bong-Kim Moon So, Tian Bing Yi-Li Yong Bo dominated this men's double, to this date, only Hendra-Ahsan who play well in their age approaching 40.

for me, LCW is my idol, even though he didn't win the Olympics but his passion to win is the reason I idolize him
Also my ideol is Lee Chong Wei , I m from India🇮🇳 I also proud our own legendary players in badminton but Lee Chong Wei always my fvrt because for me HE was A best sportsmanship badminton legend , I am now 21 years old and I want to play like him bcs He is my forever best sports player @andrewyuyoungearn2799
I still love Lim swie king + Taufik Hidayat + Rudy Hartono
For me its really Taufiq Hidayat, i love him the way he plays. The back hand smash was pure gold!
Yeah but he's so arrogant especially when he compared his achievements with LCW's, so embarrassing.
He's not good enough because of his attitude
@@ErikAmarraaHe is still a legend. Great player.
@@ErikAmarraahis personality does not change his talent though. He was a beast. I'm Malaysian, but Taufik is one of most gifted players ever.
Indog think he is the best single in the world😂
that japanese mixed double male player very arrogant and with high pride for himself.... he only admiring himself
same as the Tai. She is worse tho
Why not?
MS: Lin Dan
WS: Susi Susanti, Xie Xingfang
MD: Hendra Setiawan
WD: Ge Fei/Gu Jun
XD: Kim Dong Moon/Ra Kyung Min
OLD DIVAS
TTY was arrogant. She said she had no idol, but at the same time she copied LCW's and LD's skills. What a bishh.
Feel like everyone just loves and appreciates Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei but seem to forget about a 3rd player who essentially formed the triumvirate of badminton singles and that was Chen Long
Chen long is slightly younger than both ld and lcw which is why most of people pick ld/lcw due to their legend era.
Lin Dan is the GOAT of GOATs. I say this as a Malaysian. LCW is great but 2 Olympic Golds beat 2 Silvers, for me.
Lcw 3 silver medal olimpik not 2
Yup 3 silver but for me it's both of them bcs sometimes it's not always about the playstyle or how good they are but sometimes it's about the attitude of the player
Lcw very consintent plyer..
Lee chong wei and Lin dan legend ❤❤❤
Kento with a beauty pageant reply.
Like politician
People maybe forget about Taufik Hidayat, King Of Backhand Smash.
newer badminton player need to discover the insanity of past legend as well.
Yea back in the day everybody from my village want to be like him
He was not consistent. He had much more talent left but he stopped playing because of his fight with organisation and lazy issues. He didn't win any medal after 2006. Not 1 medal. Not even super series title. All of them were kids in 2006, so they didn't know him.
@@Optimistic_mind441bro.. he won 2010 french open.. plz do some research before u talk 😂
Although these pair are not playing anymore, but I still admire Rexy Mainaki & Ricky Subagja. 💪💪from Malaysia..
Rexy and Ricky are from Indonesia
@user-tq3op7bv2r hello, I said I'm from Malaysia. Hence, I'm still admire an Indonesian players.
to me which reflects my age, I would consider Rudy Hartono as the most naturally gifted player there ever was and should be rated as a living legend of the game, considering when he played the game it needed more physical ability as the games was harder then, the weight of the racket alone would be a struggle for current players to use.
But the question is not about who is the most gifted or talented player of all time so your preference towards the great Rudy Hartono(indeed, this legend is an absolutely gifted and the toughest player to beat back in the day during his era). However, if you say again that your no 1 idol in badminton is still Rudy, then thats a very good one you pick but sometimes being the most gifted doesnt necessarily means they are also someone else's idol (in their mind). For example, i can say the most gifted player that i ever witness in badminton is Lin Dan, but my no 1 idol is LCW although Lin Dan is a close second or third.
Or i can say, among the women's badminton field the most gifted player for me would be, TTY due to her insane badminton skills but my no 1 idol is a tie between Susi Susanti and An Se Young due to their intensity and the extremely physical in nature and durable game play in nature that they can force their opponents to endure in order to win a match
@@teudoongi6087LCW HAVE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL ?
Momota, a very humble athlete....
how is it humble to have no idol?
i think both LD and LCW is commendable as an idol
