On January 20, Beijing time, the Tokyo Olympic Badminton men's singles gold medalist and Danish star Acelon set up a training camp in Dubai ushered in three new faces, namely the Dutch players Karlscho, Quikel, and the Finnish player Korhonin, the lineup is getting bigger and bigger.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Acelon set up a training base in Dubai, inviting five of the world's top 60 players to train together, including Singaporean player Luo Jianyou and Indian rising star Lakshya. How effective was the training camp set up by Arcelor? After just a few months of training together, Luo Jianyou won the world championship at the Spanish Veval Badminton Championships at the end of the year, creating the history of badminton in Singapore. And Lakshya also won the championship at the Indian Open, the first tour of the 2022 BWF, and the high talent rate has attracted the attention of the world.
Among the three new European players, in addition to the Chinese fans are more familiar with the current world number 25 Calccio, Quikel and Korhonin are also the best of their respective countries, and their strength should not be underestimated. As Arcelor's training camp in Dubai grows, the team known in the media as the "Arcelorn Legion" has undoubtedly become the number one confidant of the Chinese badminton team. Why? In the past, talented players like Luo Jianyou and Calcio were more difficult to improve because of the few players in China who could compete with them. But now after joining the Acetron training camp, there are players of equal or even higher level to train together, and the level improvement can be said to be a natural thing. Judging from the growth of Luo Jianyou and Lakshya, there may be more talented players in the future who will benefit from it, which will make the national men's singles face greater challenges and impacts in the future.
