Beijing Olympics and three time world championships winner Lin Dan and world number one Lee Chong Wei could extend their long time duel to the 2012 Olympic Games while China once again dominated at the Asian Games.
On the final day of the badminton competition, China reaped the fifth gold medal through Lin who outplayed Malaysian ace Lee in a breathtaking singles final on Sunday.
Both Lin, 27, and Lee, 28, already set their eyes on the 2012 London Olympic Games.
"There are only two years left. I will cherish the time left and work harder and do better," said Lin, implying his goal in London.
Lee said that this is the last Asian Games for him but he will go to London.
"This may be my last Asian Games. Maybe it's time to give the younger players a chance. I will prepare for the London 2012 Olympics though," said Lee who lost the Beijing Olympics title to Lin in 2008.
Besides victory from the Super Dan, China also seized both the team titles and women's singles and doubles wins out of the seven gold medals on offer at the Asian Games, which offers a compound of the world championships and the Thomas and Uber Cup with just a few European masterhands missing.
The Chinese girls found no match in Asia while they had two one-two finishes in the singles and doubles after they rolled to the team win.
Wang Shixian, pushing aside Wang Xin for her first multi-sport international sports meet victory, stood out at the Asian Games to represent a new generation of the Chinese women players, dubbed the Little Flowers that include injured world champion Wang Lin, 21, All-England winner Wang Yihan, 22 and 2009 world champion Lu Lan, 23 as well as Wang Xin.
