There is no shortage of interesting stories in the sports world. “Lianhe Zaobao” compiled interesting stories about athletes in five different sports. Why does Tai Tzu Ying’s racket always look like it’s missing a thread? Besides table tennis, what sport does Fan Zhendong pay most attention to? Why did Shohei Ohtani, who continues to create legends for baseball, almost become a swimmer? Why does Australian swimming Olympic champion Chalmers want to work on the construction site, and what is the reason why Ronaldo never gets a tattoo?
Tai Tzu-ying’s Unique Racket When Taiwanese badminton star Tai Tzu-ying first debuted, the racket on her hand was always the focus of discussion because her racket seemed to be missing a line. Until now, Tai Tzu Ying is still playing with a racket with a crack. This month, she also reached the finals of the Malaysian Open and the Indian Open consecutively, winning a championship and a second place.
In fact, strictly speaking, Tai Tzu Ying’s racket does not have one missing string, but the bottom two strings have been moved down one hole. This wiring method is called “jumper”, which is one of the wiring methods, but it is rare.
The strings on 29-year-old Tai Tzu-ying’s racket are all worn by her father. According to Taiwanese media reports, because the strings were often broken when practicing when she was a child, and it was far away to find a stringer, her father asked a master to learn the stringing method and string it himself. This “jumping string” stringing method helps the strength of the racket surface. Concentrated, but not for everyone.
