Seven months ago, our badminton team won a title and a second place in the 2021 Tangyu Cup tournament held in Aarhus, Denmark. However, this time, the national badminton team appeared less daring and sharp on the court. The women's team, with a full complement of players and a full lineup, is aiming to defend its title. Before the final, the team did not lose a set, a strong performance. But in the final against Korea, the girls lost 2-3 after seven hours of hard fighting. The men's team, which was without a marquee player, lost to Indonesia in the quarterfinals without a doubt.
