世界羽联有意推行11分制 林丹李宗伟有望再战东京

 　　Malaysia's world number one Lee Chong Wei said a new scoring format¹ could tempt² him to extend his career to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and take yet another shot at an elusive³ badminton gold medal.

　　马来西亚世界羽毛球头号种子选手李宗伟近日表示，新的计分规则可能会让自己把职业生涯延续到2020年的东京奥运会，并再一次向一块梦寐以求的羽毛球金牌发起冲击。

　　The 33-year-old's interest has been piqued⁴ by the Badminton World Federation's (BWF) experiments with an 11-point, best-of-five system, instead of the traditional 21-point, best-of-three format.

　　羽毛球世界联合会把传统的三局两胜、每局21分制改成五局三胜、每局11分制的实验，激发了已经33岁的李宗伟的兴趣。

　　Lee said Chinese fellow veteran Lin Dan, a two-time Olympic champion, may also be persuaded to play on under the new system, which is considered less physically⁵ demanding and therefore better for older players.

　　李宗伟表示，他来自中国的老对手、两次奥运冠军获得者林丹可能也会被劝说在这个新的赛制下比赛，因为这种赛制对体力要求会少一点，对老运动员较为有利。

　　"Nothing is confirmed yet, but if there is indeed a change I could very well compete at the Tokyo Olympics," Lee was quoted as saying by the The Star newspaper.

　　马来西亚《星报》援引李宗伟的话称：“一切都还没定呢。但如果真的有改变的话，我可能会在东京奥运会上发挥得很好。”

　　"Even Lin Dan might play on as the 11-point system would mean shorter matches... which is better for senior players like us."

　　“甚至林丹也有可能继续打下去，因为11分制意味着比赛变短了，这对我们这样的老运动员比较有利。”

　　"We certainly have the experience. Playing in shorter matches is definitely better because I believe we can control the shuttlecock better."

　　“我们肯定是有经验的。比赛变短对我们来说无疑是有利的，因为我相信我们能够更好地控球。”

　　The BWF was not immediately available to comment on the new scoring format, which was trialled last week at an under-19 event in Malaysia.

　　羽毛球世界联合会没有立即对新的计分模式做出回应，这个新模式上周在马来西亚一场U19的比赛中已经被试用了。

　　Lee had previously⁶ said that last month's Rio Olympics, where he finished runner-up for the third Games in a row, would be his last.

　　连续三次获得亚军的李宗伟曾经在上个月的里约奥运会上表示，这会是自己最后一次参加奥运会。
