Chen Long's record is unusual for how it stacks up against the two players who defined his era. He won four World Championship singles titles, a mark no other male player has reached, and he is the only man to win Olympic medals at three consecutive Games in men's singles: bronze in London, gold in Rio, silver in Tokyo. He held the world number one ranking for 76 consecutive weeks, and he completed the Super Slam, the full set of Olympic, World Championship, All England and Asian Games titles. He was part of six Thomas Cup-winning squads and five Sudirman Cup-winning squads, and he was inducted into the BWF Hall of Fame in 2024, a year after retiring.
