This years All-England Championships is likely to mark the final appearance of five-time champion Lin Dan at the sports oldest event as he bids for a berth at the Rio Olympics before a possible retirement. For the first time since 2012, Lin will appear in the mens draw alongside compatriot Chen Long, the world and defending champion, and Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia - the Asian trio have lifted 11 of the last 12 All-England titles between them. World No 1 Chen has underlined his top seed status after six Superseries wins on tour last year. Meanwhile, Lee has surged back up the world rankings, from 182nd, to sit behind Chen after his eight-month suspension for doping ended last year.However, the participation of fifth-seeded Lin, who missed the All-England in 2013 and 2014 to take time out from the sport, is the most eagerly anticipated this week.Lins win at the German Open on Sunday was his opening event of the year as he bids to win a hat-trick of Olympic singles titles, the 32-year-old having hinted that the Rio Games could be his final event before retirement.But with two automatic places available and Chen currently top of the Race to Rio standings, Lin currently sits in seventh place, two places ahead of compatriot Tian Houwei.I would say that this is probably the last chance to see these three best players together at the top, Poul-Erik Hoyer, Badminton World Federation president, told Reuters.Possibly a few may retire while Lee has said that he may continue.Of Lins quest to win an unprecedented set of golds, Hoyer added: It would certainly be the story of the Olympics. If hes in the final it would be very interesting to follow. Nike Zoom Online Shop .
