Chinese Taipei badminton number Dai Tsai , after playing world ball six times in her badminton career, she also maintained the most common record with a total of 214 weeks. Dai Tsai's amazing results have become a legend in the badminton world, but rumors point out that Dai Tsai may have retired after the end of last year's Olympics, but she still continues to fight on the court this year. She recently talked about her changes in her mentality in an exclusive interview with the World Badminton Federation and also shared her mentality of winning the silver medal for Taipei, China in the Tokyo Olympics.
When it comes to retirement plans, Tsai Ying believes that she is older now, so she just lets it go. "If you can fight, you won't fight, you won't feel anything, it's OK." Dai Tsai also mentioned that he originally planned to play until last year, but won silver medals in both the Olympics and the World Championships, so he chose to continue the challenge. He admitted that "I thought I could still play again after playing like this, and I hope I can persist."
Recalling the silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics, Tsai said that because he did not play in Thailand and participated in the Olympics until July, he was actually unfamiliar with the Olympic venues. He just hoped that he could get into the situation quickly. In the first game, he met his friend Indanon. Tsai thought that the game was actually very stressful because when he played against Indanon, Tsai was in a relatively weak state. Indanon's style of play was sharp and difficult to guess, and he thought that "it felt like someone was playing against me." Dai Tsai said that her score in this game was a backward state, but during the game, she kept telling herself that she had to continue fighting before the game was over, so she fought until the third game and finally won the game.
In the final gold medal battle, Dai Ziying lost to Chen Yufei . Recalling this battle, Dai Ziying admitted that she knew she was in a weak state. In the previous game, she had some old problems, so she made many mistakes. Although she could not win the gold medal, Dai Ziying thought "I feel OK." She also mentioned that although she was unwilling to give up, she felt OK and could stand on the podium. Dai Ziying's brilliant achievements in the badminton world have become legends and has become the target for latecomers to set goals.
