In the 2018 All England Open final, 22-year-old Shi Yuqi defeated his senior Lin Dan to win the title, making a name for himself overnight.
At the time, everyone thought he would be the future of China’s badminton team. But the following year, he suffered an unexpected injury at the Indonesia Open, tearing a collateral ligament in his left ankle.
A torn ligament in his left ankle, a congenital tendon dislocation in his right ankle, and three major surgeries on his right elbow sent Shi Yuqi’s competitive form plummeting.
Years later, despite his injuries, Shi Yuqi fought his way back to world number one and declared, “With me here, no one can beat China’s men’s singles team.”
Even with a battered body, I could still stand atop the world. Yet people kept saying I wasn’t fast enough, didn’t have enough stamina, and had nothing but a little skill, so I couldn’t be among the very best.
But before I got injured, my stamina was second to none, and I was fast, too.
On the eve of the badminton quarterfinals at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Shi Yuqi was Reborn after a sleepless night.
This time, I’m injury-free. Let’s see who can stop me from reaching the very top!!!
