Nadi Weekend (1/12/2024)

00:00We're back at the Weekend Diner with the star of the men's badminton team, Sobu Yeik,
00:11who admitted that she was happy when the recovery process of her right ankle was going as expected.
00:17The winner of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris,
00:20her and Aaron Chiam's preparation for the BWF World Finals in Hangzhou, China,
00:25went smoothly, but it took some time for her to regain her strength in the ring.
00:30Yeik shared that their main challenge in Hangzhou
00:33will definitely come through the pair from Taiwan,
00:35Li Yang and Wang Qilin, who are currently ranked 13th in the world.
00:44They are a big threat to the whole men's doubles category.
00:50After Li Yang has retired, I think Wang Qilin is still playing with a junior player.
00:56They actually quite perform well.
01:00I think, of course, their achievement must have made Taiwan's men's doubles more confident.
01:07I think they are more confident they can achieve something in those major tournaments.
01:12So, I think, of course, other than China or Japan or Korea,
01:20the men's doubles, I think we should include Taiwan as a strong opponent now.
01:26Meanwhile, China's men's badminton team still has one more competition
01:30before the end of the 2024 Paralympic Games.
01:33The 2024 Paralympic Games will be held at the Bahrain International Airport,
01:38which will be held from the 11th to the 15th of December in Manama.
01:42If there is a winner, the team will set a clean record
01:45throughout the 2024 Paralympic Games.
01:53My plan for next year is to participate in 8 or 9 competitions.
02:01I will target my condition until the 2026 Asian Paralympic Games.
02:13After that, I will see if my condition allows me to continue competing.
02:21If it's still okay, still strong, my body is still healthy, I will continue.
