Recently, Taiwan’s badminton players have been competing in major European and American competitions, hoping to increase their points and improve their rankings. In the recently concluded Super 100 Series Canadian Badminton Open, Song Shuoyun from Taipower Women’s Badminton Team became a dark horse. Li Wenshan, a good landlord, lost, but her performance made everyone’s eyes bright.
Song Shuoyun, who was born in 1997, was influenced by her brother and started playing badminton when she was in the third grade of elementary school. Because badminton is a very easy sport to learn, she was very interested in the sport when she first came into contact with it, and she would rather give up playing and practice ball. Song Shuoyun, who is passionate and talented in badminton, won the national championship when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school.
Song Shuoyun got such good results, so she decided to embark on a career path and become a badminton player. For such a choice, her family not only supported her, but also became her motivation. At that time, her mother also told Song Shuoyun: “If you want to fight, you must fight. Well, don’t play that half-tone.” The elementary school coach also encouraged her to study in the sports class of Taipei Datong High School, which is famous for badminton, and continue to improve her scoring skills.
Under the advice of the coach, Song Shuoyun studied at Datong High School in both national and high school. She had already started to play the ranking competition in high school, and was promoted to the first group the following year, and was selected as the World Youth in the third year of the national school. The national player became the youngest member of the team at that time. In the same year, Song Shuoyun represented the school to participate in the World High School Student Badminton Championship, and helped the school win 3 gold medals and 3 silver medals.
Since 2015, Song Shuoyun has also participated in many international events. In September, she won the runner-up in the Auckland International Badminton Championship. In 2016, Song Shuoyun, who studied at Taipei City University, not only participated in the women’s singles competition, but also signed up for the mixed doubles event. The Wales International Badminton Championship and the Irish Badminton Open won the women’s singles and runner-up, and also entered the semi-finals in the mixed doubles event of the Sydney Badminton International Championship and the Wales International Badminton Championship. In 2017, Song Shuoyun defeated teammate Li Jiaxin in straight sets in the national badminton ranking competition and won the national championship. In 2019, he also won the Norwegian Badminton International Championship and the runner-up in the Scottish Badminton Open.
This year, Song Shuoyun has achieved outstanding results in major competitions, including the Austrian Badminton Open, the Danish Badminton Masters, the Bonn Badminton International Championship, and the Nantes Badminton International Challenge. Against the Chinese player He Bingjiao, although she still lost the last three games, it still impressed the audience. This year, the women’s doubles partner was replaced by Yu Qianhui, also from Taipower, who also made it to the semi-finals at the Taipei Badminton Open. profound results.
In the ranking announced in September this year, Song Shuoyun’s ranking has not changed, maintaining the 68th place in the world, with Taiwanese players Dai Tzu-ying, Xu Minqi, and Bai Yupo ahead of her. It is worth mentioning that she and her school girl Xu Minqi From the country and high school, they were both enemies and friends on the team. Now the two are also facing each other in the ranks of Taiwan’s top players. Although Song Shuoyun’s ranking is relatively low at present, I hope to use the good results in the past few months to compete in various places. , to be able to improve, not only to defeat domestic players, but also to become the world’s top players!
