2020/2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics

Yeapp, Lin Dan, Lee Choong Wei and Taufik Hidayat are the big three ... similar to Federer-Nadal-Djokovic in Tennis

My view is Taufik was the most elegant one ......
Chen Long has won more World Championships and Olympics medals than anyone except Lin Dan. However, his achievement was never recognized due to his playing style.

Su beat the Gold Medalist in SF but came 6th in Finals. So difficult to maintain consistency in this sport. Surely he must be disappointed tho. 9.89 and better would've won him a medal.
Still a big achievement considering you never see Asians there.

Things could be different had he not have an uncharacteristically slow start.

He ran the semifinal as if it's the final. He could have run 9.98 for the semifinal and leave more energy for the final but he would need to be in the other semifinals to qualify.
