On January 11, the global epidemic was raging, and rumors about whether the Tokyo Olympics could be held or not, Thailand, a small Asian country, added 249 confirmed cases in a single day.
When a new round of morning sun rises again, sports people from all over the world finally ushered in the gospel of the Olympic Games-the Thailand Badminton Open is facing the epidemic and opened today as scheduled.
This is the first event in which badminton has been “resurrected” since the epidemic, and it is also one of the rarest competitions that are still being held in the world of sports today. Its successful holding is like a weak breath, representing the “survival” of world sports.
We know that throughout 2020, there are only a handful of sports events held in the world. Probably, China, which is basically free of the epidemic, hosted the Table Tennis World Cup. The rest are chess and Go games, and many of them are conducted online. In the face of the epidemic, sports were completely defeated in a desperate manner.
However, the Thai Badminton Open, which has a total prize money of up to 1 million U.S. dollars, is being shot normally in areas affected by the epidemic, which undoubtedly injects a boost for sports around the world. It tells people that in the face of the epidemic, what we can do is not only isolate, escape and wait, but also fight bravely. To a certain extent, fighting bravely is more effective and evocative, and it represents the spirit of humanity and the spirit of sports.
At this Thailand Badminton Open, Chinese athletes did not participate. Japanese athletes temporarily abandoned the game because Kento Momota tested positive before departure. However, athletes from other countries and regions are vying to compete like birds out of the cage. Basically all. For men, Ansailong, Zhou Tiancheng, Jin Ting, and Li Zijia arrived as scheduled; for women, Ma Lin, Dai Ziying, Xindu, Intanon, An Xiying, Neville, etc. were all present.
On the 10th, the International Badminton Federation issued a special article to create momentum. They are optimistic about the men’s singles Axelson and the women’s singles Dai Ziying. Of course, they will not say anything to death. They still think that Zhou Tiancheng, Marin and other athletes also won the championship. opportunity.
The game on the 12th starts at 9 o’clock in the morning, and all famous players will appear one after another. Let us cheer for the brave people.
We believe that the Thailand Badminton Open will be like a beacon, guiding sports workers around the world how to actively, bravely and scientifically overcome the epidemic and get out of the haze.
