For the first year, the Badminton Asia Championships 2015 in Wuhan, China, an BAC (Badminton Asia Confederation) organized event, will be upgraded as Superseries status, which means extra prize and more important ranking points up for grabs.
Asia has been the powerhouse in badminton that has produced a great number of legendary shuttlers. With this year’s event being upgraded, the Badminton Asia Championships 2015 presents a super field where the level of competition goes as high, if not better, as a regular Superseries tournament as World No.1s in all five events have all participated this week including defending men’s doubles champion Yoo Yeon Seong.
Yoo (L) and Shin, 2014 Asian Champs
Yoo clinched the 2014 crown with Shin Baek Choel, who also won a silver medal with Chang Ye Na in the mixed. This year Yoo partners Lee Yong Dae as the top seeds, with main rivals of the no.2 seeds Lee Sheng Mu/Tsai Chia Hsin of Chinese Taipei and world no.3 Ashan/Setiawan of Indonesia all on the bottom half of the draw.
Team VICTOR was the biggest winner back in last year when Korea’s Sung Ji Hyun and Hong Kong’s Lee Chun Hei/Chau Hoi Wah rounded up with victories in women’s singles and mixed doubles. VICTOR, as an official partner of BAC, will continue to provide top quality shuttlecocks (VICTOR MASTER ACE) and court equipment.
