This is Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia and he is 40 years old. He was selected as a member of the Malaysian National Team when he was 17 years old. He has many achievements and history in the badminton world. His greatest characteristic is his splendid footwork and overwhelming power. Especially his splendid footwork is like an art! He has a great shot, defense and precise control. His attractive point is his diving reception in the game. With other players, the return afterwards is slow. But he can return very quickly. So he is free from faults in his technique and his body. In the Olympics in 2016, he lost in the final, but many fans were fascinated by his play.
He also has a great smash. He is not tall. Why is his smash so fast? This is because his strong body and smash courses bring out the best in his smash. He has a very good attack and defense. He continues to rally, reduce opponent's stamina and score a point. I like his style of play. He was ranked number one in the world from 2008 to 2012. Now he retired from the game. I think he is a player who has left a wonderful history in the badminton world.
This is Viktor AXELSEN from Danish Odense and he is 28 years old. He is 194cm tall and right handed. I will introduce his achievements. He won the world Junior Badminton Championship in 2010. He won the 2016 and 2018 European Badminton Championships and the World Badminton Championships in 2017. And he won a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. He won many titles from 2010. His strength is his height. The smash that he makes from his height is just like a bullet.
His smash speed is 419 km. However he is not just good at the smash. He breaks his opponent with his technique in front of the net. Also he has become stronger mentally. He grew up thanks to many practiced and played many games. His greatest characteristic are his smash like a bullet, his fast footwork and his powerful body. He attracted many funs with his smash and stability style of play. He is now number one in the world rankings. I think that he winning Tokyo Olympics gave him the most confidence. There he became world champion. He will continue to produce a good result in the future. I think he is like "a monster in the Badminton world!".
