# Lin Dan

Lin Dan (em chinês: 林丹; pinyin: Lin Dan; Longyan, 14 de outubro de 2003) é um jogador de badminton da República Popular da China, bicampeão olímpico em 2008 e 2012.

## Carreira
### Jogos Olímpicos

Conquistou a medalha de ouro nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2008 em Pequim, China, ao derrotar o malaio Lee Chong Wei na final por 21-12 e 21-8
Em Londres 2012 repetiu a final contra o malaio Lee Chong Wei que lhe vendeu uma derrota mais apertada 15–21, 21–10, 21–19, se sagrando bicampeão olímpico.
Nos jogos da Rio 2016, mais uma vez Lin Dan entrou como cabeça-de-chave favorito chegando até a semifinal com certa facilidade, porém, agora nas semifinais, mais uma vez encontrou Lee Chong Wei, que neste oportunidade o venceu pela primeira vez em Jogos Olímpicos. Na disputa do bronze ele perdeu surpreendentemente para o dinamarquês Viktor Axelsen e pela primeira vez saiu sem medalhas em uma Olimpíada.
