China's Lin Dan has retained his Olympic badminton title in the men's singles final, beating Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia in a repeat of their Beijing showdown.

中国羽毛球运动员林丹重复历史击败马来西亚选手李宗伟，成功卫冕羽毛球男单冠军。

The match was a lot closer than the one-sided final four badminton years ago, with Lin prevailing in a deciding game for a 15-21, 21-10, 21-19 victory. The win makes the 28-year-old the first man to hold on to the Olympian badminton title. And he takes China to within one match of a clean sweep of the London badminton golds.

这场比赛与4年前的北京奥运有着惊人的相似之处，这次林丹以15-21, 21-10, 21-19两胜一负击败李宗伟赢得比赛。这场比赛的胜利使得林丹成为成功卫冕奥运会羽毛球男单冠军第一人。而且由他领衔中国男羽队横扫伦敦奥运羽毛球比赛包揽全部金牌。
