"The Chinese youth badminton team has by outstanding success
in World Badminton Championships demonstrated that China has made
big progress in training world top shutters and that we are assured
of our fine prospect in developing China's badminton," said
Li Yongbo, head coach of the Chinese youth badminton team.
Li said the Chinese youth team had all played well in world championships.
Though his teammates had fought against many odds yet most of them
have proved themselves qualified shutters in fighting finals to
have six titles swept.
Li said that China's training system and his 18-year old shutters
are better than those of other countries. So he is proud of his
young shutters he has trained, fighting in a way even better than
Ji Xinpeng and Xia Xuanze, famous shutters of the Chinese team.
But the strength of a shutter relies not only on his skills but
also on his psychology, which should be adjusted for some of his
shutters, he added.
Li also said his young shutters have all fought in good form and
at a high tactic level. But he further reminded relentless efforts
are still needed for them to fight with a will to become world star
shutters.
