Golden eras don’t come along that often, but when they do it’s one of the most exciting and intriguing phenomena in sport.
It happens when there’s an exceptionally talented group of similar aged athletes who emerge onto the world stage at roughly the same time. Between them they go on to dominate a sport with any one of them capable of winning any title. And it’s that variety and uncertainty which makes the era so fascinating.
That’s precisely why the recent women’s singles (WS) golden era in #badminton has been so captivating, where any one of at least 9 different players from 7 different nations all had a realistic chance at any of the major events. Sadly, with the retirement of so many key players, that era appears to have come to an end. The unknown and variety now replaced by predictability and dominance.
But are we about to enter a golden era in men’s singles (MS)? The evidence suggests that is a distinct possibility. When you look at the winners of the last 13 #WorldTour (WT) events (300 and above) we’ve seen 11 different winners from 8 different Member Associations. Not only does that suggest the discipline is wide open, but the oldest of those winners are Lin Chun Yi and Yushi Tanaka, both aged 26, with the youngest Moh. Zaki Ubaidillah just 18. And interestingly, the average age of those 11 players is just 23.
It would be wrong to right off some of the older more established players, such as Axelsen and Shi Yu Qi, but ageing and failing bodies are taking their toll. The evidence suggests we have already entered a transition phase of exciting youngsters emerging from the shadows to claim their place in the spotlight.
Current WR1 Vitidsarn is only 24, so too are Christo Popov, Lakshya Sen and Naraoka. Alex Lanier recently turned 21 and Alwi Farhan is still 20. Add into the mix other young players who have not yet won a WT title, such as Canada’s 21 year old Victor Lai, and we have all the ingredients for a mouth-watering generation to savour.
The sun may have set on the golden era in WS, but I have an inkling we’re about to witness the dawning of a new golden era in MS.
… Or perhaps that era has already begun!
黄金时代并非经常出现,但一旦降临,它便成为体育界最令人兴奋和引人入胜的现象之一。
这种情况往往发生在有一批才华横溢、年龄相仿的运动员几乎同时登上世界舞台之时。他们当中任何一人都有能力赢得任何一项赛事的冠军,而正是这种多样性及不确定性使得这一时代如此引人入胜。
这正是最近女子单打(WS)黄金时代在羽毛球领域如此引人入胜的原因所在。在那个时代,来自 7 个不同国家的至少 9 名不同球员都有可能在任何重大赛事上取得佳绩。遗憾的是,随着众多关键球员的退役,那个时代似乎已宣告结束。如今,未知和多样性被可预测性和统治力所取代。
但我们是否即将步入男子单打(MS)的黄金时代?有证据表明这极有可能发生。回顾过去 13 次世界巡回赛(WT)赛事(300 分及以上)的获胜者,我们发现有 8 个不同会员协会的 11 位不同选手获得冠军。这不仅表明这项运动竞争激烈,还表明这些冠军中最年长的是林俊易和田中勇士,两人均为 26 岁,而最年轻的乌拜迪拉年仅 18 岁。有趣的是,这 11 位选手的平均年龄仅为 23 岁。
贸然淘汰一些资历较老、地位稳固的球员(如阿轩和石宇奇)是不对的,但年事渐长和身体机能下降正对他们造成不利影响。有迹象表明,我们已经进入了一个过渡阶段,一批令人振奋的年轻选手正崭露头角,试图在聚光灯下占据一席之地。
目前排名世界第一的昆拉武特年仅 24 岁,克里斯托·波波夫、拉克什亚·森和奈良冈也都只有 24 岁。亚历克斯·拉尼尔最近刚满 21 岁,阿尔维·法汉也才 20 岁。此外,还有其他一些尚未赢得过 公开赛冠军的年轻选手,比如加拿大 21 岁赖浩俊的。所有这些因素汇聚在一起,造就了一代令人垂涎的选手,值得我们细细品味。
WS的黄金时代或许已落下帷幕,但我有种预感,我们即将见证MS迎来一个新的黄金时代的曙光。
…抑或那个时代或许已悄然开启!
虽然但是我师弟好像28了
