BWF Breakthrough of the Year Award!Three national feathers are on the list, and Li Shifeng leads the championship lineup
On December 27, Beijing time, according to domestic ** reports, the International Badminton Federation announced the Best Breakthrough Award of the Year.
It is understood that in the list of the best breakthrough award of the year, the national feather men's singles player Li Shifeng is on the list, although he did not enter the top 20 in the world in the 2022 season, but after coming to the 2023 season, he won the All England Championships, Asian Games men's singles and Sudirman Cup championships in a row, made a major breakthrough, and now the world ranking has come to the third place. Considering that he was born in 2000, it is even more exciting. However, there are some regrets this season, Li Shifeng has performed average in the World Championships and Finals, and hopes to become more stable next year.
The other two players on the national feather list are Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning. Liu Shengshu also participated in the World Junior Championships last year, and won the French Super 750 championship a year later. He also won the title of Newcomer of the Year, so he deserved to win the Best Breakthrough Award.
In terms of international players, the biggest breakthrough this season should be the Thai teenager Kunlavut, who performed very well in the youth competition, and finally made a major breakthrough in the senior competition this year, winning the men's singles championship of the World Championships, which is the first post-00 World Championship champion.
Of course, Chinese players such as Weng Hongyang also performed very well in the 2023 season, mainly due to lack of stability, and I hope that the 2024 season will become more stable, then he will be a strong contender for the best breakthrough award of the year.
