Two titles in two weeks – Marin drives a fabulous hot strip – will she get fit enough to challenge a podium place at the Olympic Games this summer? The danger she represents the Fab Four is real.

After her latest All England Victory, Cai Yun analyzed some elements of her game and compared them to rivals. He pointed out that as a three -time winner of the World Cup and the current Olympic champion at the big tournaments, she has nothing to prove. This can free her from the pressure that many top athletes suffer, and allow it to play freely.
Spain has first -class tennis players, but not a great tradition in badminton. They put their incredible career performances at the center of the world of women -Singles, but it was often a bit of a culturation. Your partnership with coach Fernando Rivas is the key because you are both outsiders- without restriction from the convention- which were open to new methods to be successful.
Fitness will play a crucial role in the result of the women -singles tournament in Paris. Her main competitors for Olympic medals are all fighting against injuries. Akane has just returned to the competition, TTY mentioned the eighth arm problems, a Se Young’s knee is a bit dodgy and chen yufei has continued pain. Who can maintain their physical condition to fight for the Olympic fame? Carolina has successfully recovered from two career-threatening ACL injuries and has the emotional strength to continue. The team behind her has to be paid tribute, which motivates them through dark days and crunching the gym.
I am always fascinated by your behavior in court. Cai Yun mentioned that too. It has dominated the art of the Psyops and was approved by the badminton establishment to surpass the limits of behavior towards her opponent. It can be quite intimidating; If she were a lawyer, I want her in my defense team.
Everyone knows their slightly nerves, but there are other tactics that can disturb the momentum of a game. In my opinion, trading and inquiries about the court of judgment are completely legitimate, but there is an undefined point where it becomes too “too much”. This is the core of it – if nobody is ready to say what is too much, why then criticize a player who added him to his armor?
The shuttle is another weapon that Marin uses. It is never “out of the game”, even if the point is complete. Often it is not returned to an opponent, but flickers to the side. Only small things that can take a standstill to the progress of a game can become immensely powerful.
Marin is on the edge of history. It has the mental resilience to come past everyone and to consolidate their legacy as one of the greats of all time.
