Before Indanon was born, although Thailand also had strong players, such as the "Thailand Superman" Posana and the mixed doubles combination Sujit and Sarari, they had never made a breakthrough in the competition. It was not until the birth of this genius girl that Thai badminton brought Thai badminton to another level on the world stage.
Indanon grew up in a badminton club opened by the factory owner who worked for his parents since childhood. When he was 6 years old, coach Xie Zhihua from China came to the club, he was attracted by Indanon's talent and decided to let her receive badminton training for free, laying a solid foundation for her future promotion to a top player.
Indon began to compete in international competitions at the age of 13 and was selected into the Thai national badminton team at the age of 14. In 2009, she won the women's singles gold medal in the World Youth Championship at the age of 14, becoming the youngest World Youth Championship. She then defended the women's singles championship in 2010 and 2011, achieving three consecutive championship feats, becoming the first person in history.
In addition to the excellent results in the youth arena, Indanon had won the Indonesian Golden Grand Prix and the Vietnam Open as early as the age of 15. With a series of excellent performances, Indanon became the focus of the Thai team's training. In 2011, she officially switched to the adult competition and gradually became a rising star in the women's singles who are eye-catching.
Although she is young, she has already reached the quarterfinals of the Super League many times, and is able to give fierce competition to women's singles star players from all over the country. In January 2011, Indanon ranked among the top 20 in the world for the first time. In the year-long Olympic points competition, she maintained a good performance and finally successfully qualified for the London Olympics.
Indanon, who has made her career Olympic debut, defeated German star Schenk in the women's singles quarterfinals 16 to advance to the rematch. Facing Wang Xin, who is better overall, she fought fiercely for three games and was reversed by her opponent and missed the journey. Despite this, Indanon subsequently made rapid progress and successfully narrowed the gap with the world's top players, and there were wins and losses on the field.
2013 was a crucial season in Indanon's badminton career. She eliminated famous players such as Tsai Ying, Schenk, Neville in the All England Championship at the beginning of the year and bravely entered the finals. In the end, she fought with former Denmark's world number one Bowen and lost in three games and won the runner-up. But soon she set her goal again and planned to reach the top 5 in the world next and become the world champion.
And her subsequent performance also well confirmed this remark. She won her first Super Championship at the Indian Open in April, but no one can imagine that this 18-year-old future star would set another record in the Guangzhou World Championships a few months later.
Indanon bravely defeated his strong opponents all the way in Guangzhou to reach the final. Facing Li Xuerui, who was determined to win, she reversed her opponent at the last moment with her youthful attitude of daring to fight and taking the lead. In the end, she defeated the new Olympic champion in three games and ended the record of 8 consecutive championships in the women's singles. Indanon's victory made her the youngest world champion in the history of the world badminton and the number one person in Thailand.
After a period of time, Yin Danon's life was filled with full celebrations and commercial activities. Due to the long lack of systematic training, she suffered multiple injuries due to too much intensity after retraining. Coupled with the subsequent pressure, she fell into a low point in 2014. Not only did she get out of the Copenhagen World Championships and the Incheon Asian Games, she also failed to win any championships throughout the year. It was not until the 2015 Asian Championships that she broke the championship drought for more than a year.
In early 2016, Indanon ushered in an explosion and won the championship in the Super League in India, Malaysia and Singapore for three consecutive weeks. In addition to becoming the world's first place with three consecutive championships, he also broke the record of 12 consecutive losses against Wang Yihan at the Malaysia Open, and finally tasted the taste of victory in the 13th time between the two sides.
Indanon's badminton talent is unquestionable. She has excellent ball control ability, delicate front-net counter-shooting skills, multiple changes in the ball path and extremely consistent movements. She is good at controlling the rhythm on the field through pauses, diagonals, etc. Indanon's offensive ability is also sharp. She slashed straight lines with her forehand and slashed diagonals with her head as one of her important scoring weapons.
Although this, as a talented player with both technology and strength, Indanon relies heavily on the meticulous feel of the shots on the court. Once in poor condition, he will easily make mistakes. There are also hidden concerns in terms of physical fitness. However, her unique step of turning around in front of the net and running towards the backcourt forehand requires a higher physical cost.
In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Indanon's goal was to bring back the first Olympic medal for the Thai team, but he lost to Akane Yamaguchi in the top 16 and failed to achieve the goal set before the game. After that, Indanon was affected by the disadvantages of instability in his performance, and his performance was always ups and downs.
In the 2018 Bangkok Thumbs Cup final circle, the Thai team, who played at home, advanced to the semi-finals and challenged the defending champion Chinese team. Indanon, who was the leader of the Thai team, first in the women's singles, declined first and then flourished, broke the four consecutive losses against Chen Yufei, and in addition to winning the team, he also broke through himself in this critical battle. In the end, the Thai team successfully defeated China with three singles and entered the Uber Cup final for the first time.
Endanong has extraordinary badminton talent, but due to her lack of stability and physical fitness, she cannot maintain an excellent state for a long time and dominate the women's singles arena like players such as Ma Lin or Tai Tzu-ying.
In any case, 25-year-old Indanon is in the prime of his career. After experiencing the baptism of the previous two Olympics, perhaps she can break through in the women's singles event where flowers are blooming and fiercely competitive, and usher in another outbreak in Tokyo.
As the Thai team has made good progress in both mixed doubles and men's singles in the past two years, Indanon's pressure to win cards has naturally been reduced a lot, but it is only possible to wait and see whether this talented player who was born for record-breaking can write history again.
