Japanese women's singles player Yamaguchi Akane is 1.55 meters tall, has short legs and short arms, and is quite fat. Such a player would never be thought of as a top player in the badminton world. He won two world championships in his youth. Youth Champion, Adult Later, Wang Shixian only scored ten points in one game, and he became the main competitor of Li Xuerui , Wang Yihan , Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao !
Due to her height, Akane Yamaguchi’s legs are very short, but her speed is very fast and her playing style is also very tenacious. It seems that it is impossible to recover the ball, but Akane Yamaguchi often recovers it. This tenacious playing style once made the country Women's badminton singles is a particular headache. It's not easy to compete with Akane Yamaguchi. This player is like an "invincible little strongman", very tenacious!
Akane Yamaguchi is currently ranked second in the world, below Dai Ziying . She is also the number one player in Japan's women's singles. She has been hailed as a "genius girl" in the badminton world since her debut. She is also recognized by the Japanese badminton world as the Tokyo Olympics women's singles The most promising player to win gold!
Another player, Nozomi Okuhara , is also a Japanese women's singles player. Unlike Akane Yamaguchi, Nozomi Okuhara is one centimeter taller than Akane Yamaguchi. Her height is 1.56 centimeters and she is slimmer than Akane Yamaguchi. In the 2017 World Championships Won the women's singles championship in the Chinese badminton world, allowing the Japanese badminton world to win the women's singles world championship again after 40 years!
Nozomi Okuhara is also a very tenacious opponent. She has always been known as "Little Motor" and "King of Big Mo" in the badminton world. Playing against Nozomi Okuhara also requires a lot of patience and endurance, often dozens of times in one round. The shooting is not over yet. In last year's game, India's top sister Sindhu was "paralyzed" on the court from exhaustion many times. In this year's game with Intanon, Intanon was also tired and out of breath!
Akane Yamaguchi and Nozomi Okuhara, apart from their skills, what is even more admirable is their ball skills. The two players never provoke their opponents on the court, never yell, and they always take the initiative to pick up the ball and be polite. After the game is over, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will take the initiative to shake hands with his opponent and salute the audience!
One is 1.55 meters tall, and the other is 1.56 meters tall. With such heights, let alone the national badminton team, I am afraid they cannot even enter the provincial team, or even the general badminton sports school. However, they have become the world's badminton players. Top women's singles player!
Looking back at the current situation of the national badminton team, there is now a shortage of talent. A large number of Chinese players who can play badminton are rejected because of their height, and they do not even have a chance to play. Such a badminton system, in the national badminton team, I'm afraid I missed a lot of "Yamaguchi Akane" and "Okuhara Nozomi"!
It’s time for reform in the national badminton system. Please give more young people with dreams a chance to show their strength!
