China's two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan, widely seen as one of badminton's greatest ever players, has retired.

The 36-year-old won men's singles gold at Beijing 2008 and London 2012, as well as five World Championship and six All England titles.

In 2011, he became the first badminton player to seal the sport's 'Super Grand Slam' by winning all nine of its major titles.

"I've dedicated everything to the sport I love," Lin said.
