Speaking of the first person in the Chinese badminton world, everyone’s first impression should be Lin Dan.
And Li Yongbo is well known as Lin Dan’s coach.
So why is such a famous coach being asked to dismiss get out of class? What about the so-called handicap incident?
Li Yongbo was born in Dalian, Liaoning in September 1962. He Tian Bingyi was a golden pair during his career as a badminton player. He has won 6 world championships, including 2 world championships and 3 Thomas Cup championships. He has won the badminton performances of the Seoul Olympics in 1988. Men’s doubles champion, in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, badminton officially became an Olympic event. At that time, Li Yongbo and Tian Bingyi, who had passed the peak of athletes, won the men’s doubles third place.
Then in 1993, Li Yongbo announced his retirement and became the coach of the Chinese national badminton team. The achievements of our national badminton team during his two decades of coaching are also obvious to all. Only 18 Olympic gold medals were won, and the other champions were countless. In 2015 and 2016, the Chinese team won 6 championships in the Asian Youth Badminton Championships for two consecutive years. In terms of coaching performance alone, Li Yongbo is indeed a good coach.
However, Li Yongbo is indeed a controversial figure, and even publicly criticized by the State Administration. Putting aside the previous decline in the performance of the badminton team in the Rio Olympics, the main reason is that the national badminton team is also quite chaotic, which has a lot to do with Li Yongbo’s mismanagement, such as the well-known handicap incident. Many badminton fans know that Li Yongbo often let the players hand the ball. This move does increase the probability of the national team getting good results, but it is a serious violation of the spirit of sports and the damage to the players is also great.
Not only that, he also suppressed the players, arrogant. Li Yongbo once publicly accused the players of not being patriotic, but did not admit that the players left because of his suppression and no ball to play. Moreover, Li Yongbo often gets involved in the entertainment industry, releases albums, shoots movies, etc. to build his own good image. For example, on “Everyday Upward”, “Most Powerful Brain”, and “Super Interview” programs. It doesn’t matter if you go to the acupuncture point by yourself, but also take the disciples to the acupuncture point together, such as Lin Dan and his son, and not once or twice. However, on April 27, 2017 last year, Li Yongbo had resigned as the head coach of the Chinese Badminton Team. He is now the vice chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association and an expert member of the Expert Committee of the Chinese Olympic Committee. It can be said that Li Yongbo is also a man of merit and deeds. Up.
Not only that, but Lin Dan’s feelings for Li Yongbo were not very good, and he even choked on him publicly.
