Tai, Chou leading Taiwan’s shuttlers to Paris Olympics

2024-06-26

There’s just over a month left to go before the opening of the Paris Summer Olympics. This year, Taiwan’s badminton team is to be led by veterans Tai Tzu-ying and Chou Tien-chen, as well as the dynamic duo looking to defend their title, Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin. In mixed doubles, Lee Chia-hsin and Ye Hong-wei have high hopes. They’re currently making final preparations at the National Sports Training Center. This is to be the last hurrah for Tai and Lee, who are hoping for a medal to cap their illustrious careers.

It’s the final countdown before the Summer Olympics. Over at the National Sports Training Center, Taiwan’s badminton queen Tai Tzu-ying is getting ready. This is set to be her fourth Olympics.

Chou Tien-chen is also here, training for his third appearance at the games. He says he’s recently begun a secret training regimen, hoping to perform at his best for a shot at the podium.

Olympic shuttler
I’ve tried so many different training styles. Recently I met a coach from Japan with a special training regimen. I think every athlete’s dream is to win a gold medal.

Then there’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin, the men’s doubles duo who won gold in the last Summer Games. Although they’ve been in a bit of a slump, they’re slowly getting their groove back and hope for a repeat performance in Paris.

When standing on that Olympic court, we’re representing Taiwan. I hope we can win another medal for Taiwan. That’s the highest honor. It’s really the greatest honor you can have.

Wang Chi-lin
Olympic shuttler
I hope that on the court, I can play as usual and make few mistakes.

In mixed doubles, Lee Chia-hsin and Ye Hong-wei are competing in the Olympics for the first time. Both said they’ll try their best in every match they play.

Olympic shuttler
We paired up later than most players, so there are a lot of issues we have to face. We definitely have to prepare more than others for such a huge competition, since most of our adversaries have competed in the Olympics before.

Taiwan is putting forward the best of the best for Olympic badminton this year. Tai and Lee have already said this will be their last dance. Of course, they both hope for a medal to bring their careers to the perfect conclusion.
