Winning the Badminton World Championships is a goal that countless athletes strive for throughout their careers. Even though he is as strong as and Lee Chong Wei , he did not have a world championship in his entire career. However, in Thailand, there is a young girl who became the world champion at the age of eighteen. At the age of 18, this is the age when most Chinese children face the college entrance examination, but she is already a world champion. Such a terrifying talent makes people envious. For this reason, she is also called a genius girl by fans.
Intanon, this female badminton singles player from Thailand, actually achieved great achievements before winning the world championship. At the 2009 World Youth Championship, this short and thin girl was visibly several years younger than the other players, but this girl, who was only 14 years old, created an unattainable miracle. Intanon won the championship among a group of masters, setting a record as the youngest World Youth Championship champion.
Intanon has a sweet smile, superb skills, graceful movements, and concise and clear steps. He is a proper technical player. Her experiences as a young woman were designed as if by a genius. In 2010, she won the World Youth Championship again. At the Guangzhou Asian Games , when she was only 15 years old, she played three games with the famous Chinese player Wang Xin, which made everyone admire this badminton girl.
The time came in 2013, and Intanon, who had been honing his skills in the adult arena for four years, launched an attack on the World Championships. Although the badminton world at that time was still dominated by the national badminton women's singles, there were also good players from all walks of life emerging quietly. The 18-year-old Intanon is no longer on the list of favorites to win the championship. But the eyes of this girl who has repeatedly performed miracles revealed determination and fearlessness. She successively defeated Hong Kong's Ye Peiyan, Spain's Marin, and India's Sindhu, breaking into the competition as a super dark horse. finals. In the final, facing the 2012 London Olympics Li Xuerui , it was an away game, so the difficulty can be imagined. The Chinese fans at home are cheering for Li Xuerui. In that case, ordinary people may not be able to stand firm. But Intanon, who is only 18 years old, is particularly calm in the game: smart and elegant movements, exquisite ball organization, and creative returns. Compared with Li Xuerui's steady and disciplined style of play, Intanon More creative and ornamental. As Li Xuerui's last ball went out of bounds, Intanon fell to his knees, covering his face and crying. She set a historical record at the age of 18. She became the youngest world champion in history. She once again created a miracle.
However, after appreciating the scenery at the top of the mountains, Intanon did not linger at the top. Perhaps it was the decline in spirit after winning the world championship, or the overall progress of women's singles in the badminton world. Until now, in the past nine years, Intanon has never entered the finals of a major competition, and is also a regular in the semi-finals of the Open. Her peak seems to be forever fixed at the age of 18. , driving high and going low, has become another label for her, which makes fans regretful.
Although competitive sports are full of charm, they are also cruel. "Sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." This sentence is very suitable to describe competitive sports. Intanon, who was standing still, was quickly caught up by other masters, and he became further and further away from the world championship. Intanon is now 27 years old and no longer young. Can this genius who shoulders the hopes of many fans be able to perform her miracle again?
