‘Super’ Dan ready for All-England Championships
Lin ‘Super’ Dan is preparing for the All-England Badminton Open championships to be held in Birmingham from 9th to 14th March at the National Indoor Arena.
Lin Dan skipped the season’s first two tournaments in Korea and Malaysia in January this year. He was probably more selective as a veteran player in choosing the more important events. The All-England event will have greater exposure and will attract more international players as well.
Right on track will be Lee Chong Wei, the world’s number one player gunning for the title as well. Lee had recently captured the Korean and Malaysian Opens titles which Lin Dan had not participated in both events. However the two top guns will surely provide the excitement and probably the climax of the game. And Lee Chong Wei will most likely retire after the All-England championship. Lin Dan will still be a dominant player to watch in all the tournaments that he participates. He is a legend in his own right being a Olympic and World Champion.
The All-England Open Badminton Championships will be into its 100th championships this year 2010. It will be the third series in the WBF Super Series circuit after which it will be held in Basel in Switzerland at the Swiss Open from 16th to 21st March.
