Oma Gill…..
“What defines an athlete shouldn’t be essentially the flexibility to play the large photographs, however the potential to provide them on the large stage, when it actually issues. Many athletes have the abilities, and subsequently the potential to win an occasion, however it’s a uncommon and valuable potential to regulate the nerves and be impressed to new heights, fairly than being inhibited by the overwhelming weight and stress 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 valuable potential. Regardless of successful lower than half the variety of Superseries titles than his pal and rival Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan’s document within the large tournaments is unequalled, 2 x Olympic Gold, 2 x Asian Video games Gold, and 5 x world champion.
Though not as extensively recognised, or prolific of their achievements, Lee Yang and Wang Chi Lin additionally possessed that potential to lift their efficiency when it actually mattered to ranges seldom exhibited in different, much less necessary matches or tournaments. One thing which is illustrated by their exceptional document.
● 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 degree.
● 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 potential to rise to the event, to provide their greatest on the largest and most necessary sporting stage of all.
Following the conclusion of the #TaipeiOpen2024, Lee Yang leaves the world stage. As a participant he was sensible on the entrance court docket, 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 revealed right this moment they’ve 14 pairs within the high 100, which is the same as Indonesia (8) and Denmark (6) mixed.
Joyful retirement Lee Yang.
