谌龙
Chen, widely celebrated as ‘The Great Wall of China’, was a cornerstone of Chinese badminton’s golden era. His ability to perform under pressure set him apart as one of the finest men’s singles players in his nation’s history. Chen’s career was adorned with impressive accomplishments, including Olympic gold at Rio 2016, silver at Tokyo 2020, and bronze at London 2012, as well as two BWF World Championships titles and 22 Superseries/World Tour titles.

Lee, often hailed as one of the most gifted doubles players of all time, dazzled fans with his versatility and magnetic presence on court. From winning Olympic gold in mixed doubles at just 19 to amassing a record-breaking 46 Superseries/World Tour titles, Lee redefined the doubles game. His incredible defence and finesse at the net were hallmarks of a career that saw him lead Korea to several triumphs, including Asian Games men’s team gold in 2014.
The induction of Lee and Chen into the BWF Hall of Fame not only recognises their historic contributions to badminton but also honours their impact as role models and icons.
BWF President Poul-Erik Høyer said: “Lee Yong Dae and Chen Long have set extraordinary benchmarks in our sport. Their achievements on and off the court have elevated badminton to new heights. We are proud to celebrate their legacies by inducting them into the BWF Hall of Fame.”
The BWF Hall of Fame Press Conference will be live streamed on BWF TV, Facebook and Weibo from 4pm local time. The Gala Dinner, which also includes the BWF Player of the Year Awards, will be streamed separately.
世界羽联名堂新闻发布会将在北京时间12月9日下午4点进行线上(世界羽联电台、脸书、微博)直播,而包含了世界羽联年度最佳运动员颁奖晚宴将单独直播。
