The BWF announced the winners of the year on December 3 and held a grand award ceremony in Bali, Indonesia, with the Danish men's singles Acetron being elected the Best Male Athlete of the Year, the Indonesian women's doubles Polly/Halayu winner, the Chinese Taipei men's doubles Li Yang/Wang Qilin winning the Progress of the Year Award, and the Thai genius Quinravud winning the Newcomer of the Year. All of the above is well deserved, although the Yellow Duck group was also shortlisted for the best partner of the year. But the most controversial thing is that the best female athlete of the year actually spent Chinese Taipei Dai Ziying instead of Chen Yufei! I don't know what to do with this face punch?
First, the number one. From the perspective of Arcelor, Polly/Harayu and Li Yang/Wang Qilin, the Olympic champion is the most important evaluation criterion, but Chen Yufei ignores her achievements as the Olympic champion of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and what is even more speechless is that Dai Ziying is Chen Yufei's defeated player in the Olympic women's singles final.
Second, the number of champions. The selection period for the best of the year is from November 2019 to October 31, 2021, and the official uniform logo is 2020/2021. During this period, Chen Yufei won seven crowns, leading the four finalists, and far ahead of Dai Ziying (see figure below). Dai Ziying won two titles: the 2020 All England Super1000 Championship and the 2020 Finals, which are comparable to Chen Yufei's 2019 Finals. Olympic champions aside, this is an unparalleled achievement. The picture does not show chen Yufei's other two heavyweight championships, the Sudirman Cup and the Uber Cup, which is a joke with the Olympic Games, the World Championships and the same level of the BWF? They belong to GradeI., while the Year-End Finals and Super100-1000 Series, including the All England, belong to Grade II. And this heavyweight team race Dai Ziying did not participate!
Third, the competition is absent. From the Indonesia Masters to the year-end finals, the Bali Three Races are in a relatively closed environment, and the athletes are subject to the unified arrangement of the organizing committee. Chen Yufei and Dai Ziying both missed these three races, and after the Olympics, Dai Ziying has been in a break, missing a total of 8 races, and Chen Yufei is five races. If you can't come to the scene to receive the award, it can't be awarded to Dai Ziying but to Akane Yamaguchi,
Fourth, as the first group of badminton, guoyu three times shortlisted (Chen Yufei, Wang Yilu, Yellow Duck combination) but none of them won, the badminton federation is not unfair, Chinese Taipei two shortlisted two times elected, this is not intentional, who believes!
No wonder that bowie recently slammed the badminton league schedule intensively caused the player to be injured, directly by the official account of the International Badminton Federation.
