中国羽毛球巨星林丹宣布退役

SHANGHAI: China's two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan, arguably the greatest badminton player of all time, announced his retirement on Saturday aged 36.

上海：周六，中国羽毛球两届奥运冠军、史上最伟大的羽毛球运动员林丹宣布退役，现年36岁。

It means that Lin, who won gold at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games, will not compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which have been pushed back to next summer because of coronavirus.

这意味着曾在2008年北京奥运会和2012年伦敦奥运会上获得金牌的林丹将不会参加2020年东京奥运会。由于新冠疫情，东京奥运会已被推迟到明年夏天举行。

The end of Lin's glorious career comes just over a year after the retirement of his great rival and friend, the Malaysian star Lee Chong Wei.

林丹辉煌的职业生涯在其劲敌、好友、马来西亚羽毛球巨星李宗伟退役一年多后结束。

The duo reigned over badminton for more than a decade and have only relinquished that hold in recent years as their powers waned.

两人在羽毛球领域的霸主地位已经有10多年了，直到最近几年实力减弱，两人才隐退。

Lin, who had something of a "bad boy" reputation during his younger days and has several tattoos -- unusual for Chinese athletes -- ends with 666 singles wins and a glut of medals.

林丹在年轻的时候有“坏男孩”的名声，身上有几处纹身——这在中国运动员中是不常见的——他赢得了666场单打冠军和大量奖牌。

"My family, coaches, team-mates and fans have accompanied me through many peaks and difficult troughs," he said in a post on China's Twitter-like Weibo that quickly went viral.

他在新浪微博上写道：“我的家人、教练、队友还有球迷陪我度过了很多个巅峰时刻和艰难的低谷时期。”这条微博很快被疯传。

"Every forceful jump was a desire for victory.

“每一次奋力地跳杀都是对胜利的渴望。”

"I have dedicated everything to this sport I love."

“我把一切都献给了这项热爱的运动。”

Lee called his nemesis Lin "my greatest opponent".

李宗伟称林丹为“我最伟大的对手”。

"Please believe that the laughter, tears and all the promises are unforgettable diary entries," the 37-year-old Lee wrote on Weibo.

37岁的李宗伟在微博上写道:“请相信欢笑泪水和所有的约定 都是忘不掉的日记，我最伟大的对手。”

"Proud of you," he added.

“为你骄傲，”他补充道。

As well as the Olympic golds, Lin was also a five-time world champion and long-time world number one.

除了奥运金牌，林丹还获得五次世界冠军，长期保持世界第一排名。

He earned the nickname "Super Dan" at the peak of his career.

在其事业的巅峰时期，他获得了“超级丹”的绰号。

However, the left-hander's career has tailed off in recent years as age and injuries took their toll.

然而，由于年龄和伤病的影响，这位左手握拍球员的职业生涯在最近几年开始走下坡路。

Just last year he rebuffed claims that he was about to retire following a series of first-round exits at tournaments.

就在去年，他还断然否认了在一系列锦标赛首轮出局后即将退役的说法。

Lin always said he was determined to reach the Tokyo Olympics, but his ranking of 19 in the world and the postponement of the Games made that dream unlikely.

林丹一直说他决心参加东京奥运会，但目前他的世界排名是19，而奥运会的推迟让这个梦想变得不太可能。

At Rio 2016 Lin lost in the semi-finals to Lee in what was a rare victory for the Malaysian on the biggest stage of all.

在2016年里约热内卢奥运会上，林丹在半决赛中输给了李宗伟，在这个最大的舞台上，这对马来西亚人来说是一次罕见的胜利。

Lin said on Saturday his body would not allow him to plough on in the unlikely pursuit of a third Games gold.

林丹表示，他的身体不允许他继续追求第三枚奥运金牌。

"'Persevere', I said to myself in every moment of suffering, so that my sporting career could be prolonged," he wrote on Weibo.

他在微博上写道:““坚持”，每个煎熬的时刻我都对自己说，让自己的体育生涯可以拉得更长一些。”

"Rather than simply pursuing rankings as I did when I was younger, in these years, I have been wanting to challenge the physical limits of an 'old' athlete and practise the sporting spirit that I will never give up.

“比起年少单纯地追求名次，这些年我更想挑战一个“老”运动员的身体极限，实践永不放弃的体育精神。”

"(But) my physical abilities and pain no longer allow me to fight alongside my team-mates."

“（但是）体能和伤痛已经不再允许自己和队友并肩作战了。”

As of Saturday afternoon, a hashtag on Weibo about Lin's retirement had been read at least 51 million times and praise for him poured in.

截至周六下午，微博上有关林退役的话题已经被阅读了至少5100万次，对他赞不绝口。

Bao Chunlai, who formerly represented China in badminton, said Lin's retirement took him by surprise.

曾代表中国参加羽毛球比赛的鲍春来表示，林丹的退役让他感到意外。

"It's somewhat sudden, but understandable," he wrote on Weibo.

"The last person of that generation who persevered has also walked to the 'end'.

"My feelings are mixed. All the best, brother. The future will be better."

他在微博上写道：“有些突然，但可以理解。那一代最后一个坚持留守的人也走到了“尽头”，心情复杂，祝福兄弟，未来会更好。”

Lin's wife Xie Xingfang, also a former badminton world champion, wrote online: "The 20 years we have walked with each other.... will continue.

"Let us work hard together."

林丹的妻子谢杏芳也是前羽毛球世界冠军，她在网上写道:“一起走过的20年，还将继续，我们一起努力！”

Lin's reputation was badly tainted in China in 2016 after it emerged he had an affair while Xie was pregnant. He apologised.

2016年，林丹在谢杏芳怀孕期间的婚外情曝光后，他在中国的声誉严重受损，事后他出面道歉。

The Chinese are not sportsman. They come with bars to fight Indian soldiers who are following the spirit of the contract to not have arms while patrolling. This is not sportman spirit.

中国人违背运动员精神，他们拿铁棒和印度士兵打，印度士兵在巡逻时遵循协议精神，不携带武器。

@paath……打架是和中国士兵，不是中国平民…这和林丹是否是最伟大的羽毛球运动员之一无关!!
