As we all know, badminton is not a sport that requires absolute height, but rather requires coordination, rhythm changes and other qualities. I saw a report before that , Zheng Siwei, who is 1.78 meters tall, was actually the shortest player in the team in the second national team, and , the Chinese national team also considered height when selecting materials.

When receiving the award, you can see the height difference
Aiyuke editor is quite interested in the height of the players in Japanese national team . After counting the heights of the 27 players in the A team of the Japanese national team, it was found that the average height of the entire team was only 168.1cm.
Currently, there are 13 male players in Japan's A team, with an average height of 172.5cm; there are 14 female players, with an average height of 164.1cm. It has to be said that such height is short in national badminton teams around the world.
Let’s take a look at the height of their men’s team:

The average height of the entire team is only 168.1cm. After watching it, do you feel that you are not tall enough and you can join the national team as long as you play well?
In fact, Japan's rules for selecting national team talents are very transparent. The top two players who won the All-Japan Comprehensive Championship will directly enter the first team of Japan. Including the selection of contestants in the Olympic Games, they also strictly follow the world rankings. Whoever has the highest ranking will participate in the Olympic Games.
