LIN DAN

The colorful Chinese badminton superstar will be 37 by the time the next Games roll around.

Lin already has gold from Beijing in 2008 and London four years later, adding to his five world titles.

However, there is a hint of unfinished business for Lin who was defeated in the bronze-medal match at Rio 2016, having been downed in the semifinals by great rival Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia, the man he beat in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic finals.

Regardless of the postponement, it looks likely that Lin will not secure enough qualification points to make the Chinese team for Tokyo.
