On August 2, local time, in the men's singles final of the Tokyo Olympics badminton, Chen Long lost 0:2 to the Danish star Anseron and missed the chance to defend his title.
After the game, Chen Long said that these five years have been a long time, because in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, there are more failures.
"Every time I lose a game, it will bring a lot of outside doubts and self-doubt, whether I am not so good. But the team has been encouraging me and helping me to regroup. Although this Olympics did not win a gold medal in the end, I think At least every game, I did it according to my own preparations. Although my performance is not as good as a gold medal, it is still the second best."
In preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Long has limited time to spend with his family.
Chen Long said that after coming to Tokyo, he would keep brief exchanges with his family every day.
"Recently, my son called me'Brother Long' and he would call'Brother Long', I am very happy and miss them very much. Although I failed to bring the gold medal back, I also want to perform well on the court and hope that my son will see him. His father worked very hard and set him a good example."
