Along with his two World titles, Kento Momota has 29 circuit titles and 2 Asian championships;The equivalent of Axelsen is 28, with three European titles and two World Championships.The tall Dane notwithstanding, noses ahead in the correlation with his Tokyo Olympic gold, brutally for Momota in his patio.
Is it Lee Chong Wei or Lin Dan?Kento Momota or Viktor Axelsen?
Tai Tzu Ying or Chen Yufei?In each of those instances, a gold medal from the Olympics distinguishes the first name from the second, similar to a coronation title worn by the world’s best on the biggest stage.
On the other hand, the badminton circuit runs all year and measures consistency.The last option names in those three examinations will pip the previous on sheer counts of Visit titles.However, you could persevere all year and meticulously string title runs together week after week.While winning at shuttle’s numerous ports of call every day during those four years between the Olympics, you might play some of the most beautifully elegant and power-gleaming badminton, like Tai Tzu and Chong Wei did.When the history of that one fortnight quadrennially is written, the Olympic or World champions will still win the name recall game.
Lee Chong Wei, on the other hand, defies assertions that circuit consistency is more important than coronation wins.

However, there was a time in 2019 and 2020 when the Japanese automaton went on a title spree, winning ten Tour titles.
Unfortunately, his run was cut short once more by a disorienting road accident in Malaysia.Momota, on the other hand, appeared invincible during his Sunday successes’ golden era.Even though his game appears to be severely diminished, his scalp continues to be highly valuable for newcomers.
The “who’s greater” debate between Axelsen and Momota blazes with far more combustible embers because men’s singles badminton did not really engage in the inelegant GOAT battle that might pit him against Lin Dan and result in Chong Wei being unnecessarily pipped.
