Hey everyone! Do you know about Huang Yaqiong? 🏸 She’s a super talented badminton player from China who has won many championships, including an Olympic gold medal!
On Wednesday, Huang announced that she’s retiring from the Chinese national badminton team. She shared on social media that even though she still feels she can play well, her body needs a rest due to injuries over the years. She said, “Badminton is my lifelong pursuit, and I’m willing to give it my all.”
Huang and her partner Zheng Siwei have been amazing together! They won the mixed doubles gold at the Paris Olympics without losing a single set. That’s like winning every game straight without any losses! 🥇
Even though she’s stepping away from the national team, Huang says she’ll continue to be involved in badminton in her own way. Isn’t that inspiring?
