The 2022 Badminton Asian Championship is coming to an end, this tournament is also a big training exercise for Asian teams in the Toms Cup Uber Team Competition next month, and this year's event has been raised from the original Super 500 tournament to 1000 points for the first time, and it has gathered most of the top teams in the world badminton, which can be said to be a high-end event of high standards and high grades. However, the hardware and ventilation facilities of the stadium in Manila, Philippines, where the tournament is held, cannot match the level of the event, and since the beginning of the tournament, it has constantly made players from all over the world complain.
Southeast Asia is a region where badminton is more popular and high,000, but to be honest, the high level and development here refers to Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, or even Singapore, which basically does not include the Philippines. The Philippines is no match for all aspects, from the level of sports, the influence of badminton, to the hardware for holding competitions, and the professionalism of venue facilities. Originally, many athletes came with doubts, and the results were really confirmed, compared with other badminton events in Southeast Asia, with rich experience in holding competitions, and relatively complete in all aspects, the wind direction and other problems in the Asian Championship venues were widely criticized.
In fact, it can be seen through live TELEVISION footage that the game screen, venue setting, background board, etc. are all the kind of background and perspective that is extremely difficult for TV viewers to accept, which seems extremely unprofessional, and even the audience is difficult to distinguish the boundaries of the stadium, various rule lines, etc. For athletes who play in real combat in the stadium, the most difficult to accept is the air conditioning and wind direction, unable to grasp the judgment, making it difficult to play their skills, a person complaining may be an excuse, and many players with rich game experience and have played in venues around the world have also criticized, which should really be the problem of the venue. It should be known that badminton is different from other sports, the environmental requirements for the venue are more stringent, and the wind direction has a great impact on the operation of the ball and the judgment of the players, and even directly related to the winning and losing trend of a game.
Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, the first team of the women's doubles team, said after playing the first round of matches: "We feel that the wind in the stadium is relatively large, and the wind direction is more difficult to grasp. We haven't played in a windy stadium in Southeast Asia for a long time, so today we are still looking for feelings, always looking for the feeling of wind direction. Wang Zhiyi, who performed well in women's singles, said: "The downwind of the field is obvious, and then it is difficult to play when it is downwind, and at the beginning of the game, it is not very adaptable to the possession of the ball, including the direction of the wind, and cannot find a rhythm that suits you." ”
Huang Yaqiong said: "I haven't played this kind of windy game for a long time, so in the case of adapting to this wind direction, I think I still need to play more games to adapt to it." Zheng Siwei also has the same attitude: "Our control of the wind direction is not particularly good, resulting in many unnecessary mistakes, and I hope to be able to adapt better." ”
Of course, it is not only the national badminton players who are complaining, most of them are still the winning side. And the Japanese celebrity Momota Kendou, who was eliminated in the first round of the men's singles, believes that he has some wrongs, and his technical playing style is limited, which has the factor of his excuse, which can reflect the basic facts. Momota said, "I think the reason for the first defeat was that I couldn't stand the wind and heat of the venue. I don't think my performance is good at all, not how well the other side plays. Malaysia doubles director Resy Minaki also said: "The wind direction in this arena is too bad, of course it is also an opportunity for the players to do more in terms of thought and awareness. ”
