Born in Penang, Malaysia, Luo Jianyou is a fellow countryman, unlike Li Zongwei, who went to Singapore after graduating from primary school and acquired Singapore citizenship in 2015. Before the Tokyo Olympics, Luo Jianyou may have hardly heard the name, and the only impression may be that he defeated Lin Dan at the 2019 Thailand Open to win the title of this low-level event (Super 300).
After the Tokyo Olympics, gold medalist Arcelong announced that he would leave Denmark and set up his training ground in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and he invited the world's top 50 athletes to train with him at his own expense, including Yang Can of Canada, Laksh Yasen of India (yes, the bronze medalist of this world championship), and of course, Luo Jianyou of Singapore. I believe this experience is very important for Luo Jianyou, who once said that training with Axelsen (Acelon) in Dubai was a great help, it was a good experience and definitely helped my performance. Of course, I believe that what is more important is that his coach, Coach Murio, who left India to coach in Singapore in 2019, may be the real hero of Luo Jianyou's becoming the world champion. Coach Murio was once the mentor of Indonesia's famous player and first badminton Grand Slam winner Tawfik, and during murio's coaching in India, Srikante was once the world's first.
Luo Jianyou really started to shine, attracting the attention of the badminton industry in October at the three European Opens, the Danish Open, the French Open and the German Hailu Open. The first round of the French Open eliminated the world's no. 8 Malaysian brother Li Zijia, broke out a lot of cold, in the final of the German Hailu Open, he met Li Zijia, li Zijia was injured in the case of falling behind, and had no choice but to withdraw from the competition to achieve Luo Jianyou's first super 500 championship title. In just half a month, the double killing of Li Zijia was achieved, which should also be the embodiment of strength. In the subsequent Indonesian Open (Super 1000), Luo Jianyou was also a good hand, killing a bloody road to the final, and he played against the Olympic champion Acesaron who asked him to be a sparring partner, in this match, Luo Jianyou lost to Arcelor.
Coming to the World Championships, injured in Momota, Chen Long, Shi Yuqi absent, all Indonesian players withdrew from the game, everyone thought that the champion of this World Championship would inevitably be Arcelor, seeing that Luo Jianyou, who played against Arcelor in the first round of the signing table, laughed at Luo Jianyou's bad luck. Who knows the biggest underdog at this World Championship is in this game, Luo Jianyou eliminated Arcelor 2-1, and the last two sets only let the opponent score less than double digits. After that, it was all the way to hang, Buddha blocked the Buddha, God saw god destroy god, all the matches were won 2-0, the final was also against Srikante, and won Singapore's first world championship!
