Badminton News: 2021 Singapore World Champion Loh Kean Yew has arrived and joined Tokyo Olympic Champion Viktor Axelsen from Denmark to kick off their training camp in Dubai.
The training camp also features other elite players from around the world such as Brian Yang (Canada, men’s singles, world no.39), Felix Burestedt (Sweden, men’s singles, world no.58) and Mathias Thyrri ( Denmark, men’s doubles), n ° 45 World).
In September 2021, a month after the Tokyo Olympics, Loh Kean Yew was invited by Viktor Axelsen to join Session 1 training camp in Dubai. The month-long stay turned out to be a change for the 24-year-old Singaporean as he managed to learn from the former high-intensity training world champion which significantly improved his physical and mental strength. .
In December 2021, Loh was unstoppable by a superb Axelsen in the first round of the 2021 BWF World Championships on December 12, 2021, before advancing to the final and beating Indian Kidambi Srikanth 21-15, 22-20 on 19 December 2021, becoming the first Singaporean player and the first unranked player to win the world title in men’s singles.
Of course, Rome was not built in a day. A video that surfaced on social media a few days ago shows that there is no shortcut to becoming a world champion as you see Loh doing a lot of work in her training.
The story of underdog Loh Kean Yew, how he went from a badminton failure to a world champion was so inspiring that he was nominated for the 2021 Singaporean of the Year award.
