I almost cried watching his priceless reaction. Hardwork and dedication motivate this youngster to reach his goal - the gold medal. Congrats axelsen!

[manuelgnucci]

I can’t imagine how many days of training with huge barbells balancing on a skateboard are needed to reach these levels

Axelsen's length is wild. It's like there's nowhere on the court he can't cover with power and control. Awesome match.

[johanneriisbjerg]

He went 12-0 in sets, undefeated, not giving a single set throughout the competition, that is massive!!

[bhaskarpandey]

He just broke down after he won the match🥺.This shows how determined he was while playing the game as he won't let his emotions control over his game 🙌🙌🙌

[morgengold]

Very respectful behavior of Chen. Great play of Viktor. Greetings from Germany!

After farewell to the great Taufik, Gade, LCW, and Super Dan, Chen L was the end note of that golden era of Men’s Single. Now Axelsen is crowned, a new era arrived!

[Jukka]

Just an amazing match. I never get to see this sport living in the US. I absolutely love the fact that they gave each other their shirts. What a wonderful show of sportsmanship too. Wish everything was like this

He was so confident about his win, in last Rio Olympics 2016 he was just able to get the bronze medal, and in Tokyo 2020 he nailed his win to a GOLD .

So humble is the approach of Chen long. Great sportsmanship

This has become my new favorite video on YouTube. His reaction was so honest and the way those two athletes exchanged shirts is just wholesome.

[tsychodan]

The attacking & defending in all those rallies were just INSANE :0
Viktor Axelson's footwork was also really on point

[NehaSharma-odgz]

This match was so amazing! Love to see how players control their emotions till the match ends.

[xuyunlong]

32:01 What Chen Long said is "I have no fallback. Last set of the last match. Fight till the end!" Well said.

[muhamaddiksa]

What a spectacular match. The match would be even more spectacular with the presence of spectators.

[CarlJenkinson]

Has there ever been a more dominant gold medal in Olympics Badminton than this? 12-0 in sets undefeated and he made it look so easy. At the middle stage Chen Long was telling his coach he has no answers to all Axelsen's techniques. Amazing

[dy]

So classy the two exchanged shirts. Congrats to both!

[genli]

chen long had a giant blister on his foot, yet he made it to the finals. what a monster.

[zens]

finally after 25 years of waiting, Denmark win gold again in men singles after Poul Erik Hoyer in Atlanta 1996, the current BWF president

[apparitn]

Awesome, and Chen Long is a class act. Looks like he was genuinely happy for Axelsen.
