5-time world champion Lin Dan dismisses retirement rumours despite series of 1st round losses. FMTNews Badminton

SHANGHAI: Lin Dan on Wednesday scotched reports that he is set to retire and said he will not give up on his unlikely bid for a third Olympic gold.

It was another blow to his fading chances of reaching next summer’s Tokyo Olympics, but Lin vowed afterwards to carry on despite Chinese media saying Fuzhou could be his farewell tournament. But Chen, the 2016 Rio Olympics gold medallist, came back to win the next two 21-12, 21-12 and send a wilting Lin home early.Once the world number one, his ranking has fallen to 18th.

Shi is coming back from an ankle problem and more injuries for him could be Lin’s best hope for making the China team for Tokyo.Lin, who earned the nickname “Super Dan” during his pomp, has always said that he wanted to end his career with another tilt at Games gold.
