Who said what about the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in and around the badminton world over the past week?

“An Olympic medal is my final piece of the puzzle. I will try to bring home a perfect puzzle. I will give this Olympics everything I have.”

An Se Young vows to add the missing medal to her collection.

“My mental preparation is the most important. If my mentality isn’t strong, it will affect the physical part. Before I go to Paris, I will spend more time in Hong Kong (China) relaxing and chilling out.”

Lee Cheuk Yiu on how he’s readying himself.

“He has dared trying a new style so close to the Olympics, and the results are good. It can add psychological pressure on his opponents. I believe he will use his familiar offensive style in Paris, but how will his opponents cope when he switches to a controlled gameplay?”

“It’s crucial to cherish the journey instead of obsessing over a medal. The results will follow if the process is right focusing on training and recovery.”

“We decided it would be best to put 110 per cent of our effort and time onto chasing this Olympic dream.”

Kerry Xu on why she and twin sister Annie took leave of absences from their jobs.
