He has been nicknamed "Super Dan" (超级丹) by his fans. Lin won the men's singles gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Career
Lin became one of the dominant players of men's singles, winning nine top tier international championships between 2002 and 2004. In a surprise loss, he was eliminated as the no.1 seed in the first round of the badminton men's singles in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. However, he has continued his dominance in international tournaments and has been continuously ranked number one in the world since early 2004, except for a very brief period of time in 2006 when Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia overtook him.
Among the tournaments Lin Dan have won are the All-England Open (2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009), the BWF World Championships (2006, 2007 and 2009), and the Olympic Games (2008). He has helped China win three consecutive Thomas Cup (men's world team) championships in 2004, 2006, and 2008 and has also been a major contributor to Chinese teams which won the Sudirman Cup (combined men's and women's team championship) in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
[edit] 2004
By the beginning of 2004, Lin Dan was already world number one at age 20. He started off the year by winning his first All England title by beating Peter Gade of Denmark. He continued to shine as he won the Swiss Open and the Denmark Open by defeating his senior teammate and former world number one Xia Xuanze. He also went on to take the German Open and the China Open, beating his compatriot and good friend Bao Chunlai. In May, Lin Dan also played a major role in bringing the Thomas Cup back to China after a long domination by Indonesia.
