when I was still in high school, I represented my state.. the competition was quite fierce and I was not qualified and was not called to the national youth badminton training camp.. I despaired and continued to study In vocational college, and now I work only as a factory worker.. now I play badminton just as a hobby.. sometimes there is a feeling of regret for the decision at that time

Back in the day, I had the opportunity to compete against an Olympic badminton player when I was in my prime physical condition and excelling in multiple sports. Despite being at my best, I was only able to score a total of nine points against him. This experience left me with nothing but the utmost respect for Olympians.

I love how the audience's heads just move at the same time

The player wearing black is Koki Watanabe. His bwf ranking(MS) is 48. 4th Japanese player.

This is great inspiration for many young players

He is a junior in Kenichi Tago's high school. He won three titles in high school, a bronze medal at the World Juniors, represented Japan, and recently won the Swiss Open. His story is not over yet.

The one in green has very smooth and silent footwork. Very promising young chap!

Everyone's talking about the players, but man the sound of the racket hitting the shuttlecock is satisfying as hell

The black and green shirt student has a more aggressive play and fast reaction. His footsteps was fast too. I think the other one is a little nervous to face this kind of player, his footsteps are quite nervous.

wanatabe was just incredible , he was win 2 in that match: the opponent and the crowd , just incredible under the pressure .

埼玉の子のフットワークとフェイントが凄すぎる。特にフットワークが完璧

It's weird that when the guy with the green shirt got a point the audience barely claps but when the white shirt guy got an point everyone cheers.

Notice that at 7:45, the white boy, ShinayaYamada, starts to overpower spikes causing his stamina to go low while the black guy, KokiWatanabe is relaxed and gaining more stamina with balance coordination. We all know that Black Guy knows how to defend his area over the spikes of the opponent, as I can see that maybe Watanabe also noticed the opponent's action so he revenges it with spike side by side just to get the white boy tired almost at the end. Therefore, the white boy caused him to move slowly because of his low stamina.

They are national level middle schooler, this level is quite common in badminton countries like Japan, China, Denmark, Malaysia, Indonesia etc

やっぱ中学高校くらいの1点を毎回本気でとりに行くゲームのほうが見ごたえあるなあ。 プロも試合はどこに打っても全部返してくるからどうやって決めるかじゃなくてどれだけ相手の体力を削れるか勝負だもんなあ

that's an absolutely brilliant match.Kid in blue reminds me of hidyat

in fact they were japanese high school players; about 17 y/o. this video is national U-18 match 2015.

they are fast N of course the blackshirt footwork is sooooo smoothhh damnnn

역시 배드민턴은 다리로 치는 운동이다! 스텝이 👍👍👍👍

The player in the black uniform is Koki Watanabe

I was offered to play in a University with full scholarship with any course of my choice but my parents didn't allow me. It was a good University with high reputation in Badminton as well. They want me to focus on studying and stop playing. Now I still don't have a job and still struggle to pass the Board exam. I still dream about how my life would turn out If I continued playing badminton. Kids if you think you have the talent and willing to discipline yourself to become pro at the highest level of any sports, go and take the risk! You might regret if you don't. Pursue your passion!

Glad that Watanabe won. The crowd is really one-sided lmaoo

they got good coaches, very skilled players

Wow. Thats great badminton

Fucking hell they're so quick to anticipate the shots. Some shots can definitely be improved but my word their footwork and agility is astonishing. But the boy in black and green has the better endurance.

starting video backhand crosscourt is amazing

love how the viewer turned their head the exact same time xD

マジで才能の塊なんだなあ。 これ見たら今あんなに活躍できない未来なんて想像できんわ。才能あるだけに今のポジションが不憫でならない。

rooting for boy in black and green the whole time 😭 but I'm wondering why the crowd only cheers when the white shirt gains a point?? maybe I'm missing something

アウェーなのに勝てるのやっぱ凄い

Is it me or is it only the person with the white t shirt is getting cheered on after getting a point.

guy in black playing so much better than the one in white. a pity he didnt get many cheers

Last time I saw a match like this was Lin Dan vs LCW. But crap! This is even crazier!

Although both are excellent players, many points you can see the black player being overall more stable and less moved by his opponent, fantastic video

Its so funny seeing the audience follow the birdie 🤣

Amazing movements and reaction speed tbh, those ain't middle schools (at least not anymore now)

That was really amazing to watch !!

一個國家的體育運越蓬發展,新秀就會越多,出頭天的機會就越大,加油!小朋友們

Seeing their head turn is fun

검은옷 아이는 리총웨이를 보는거같네요~ (I think the kid in the black t-shirt is looking at Lee Chongwei)

Gosh I remember when I could play like that! 15 years later...not so much lol

Green shirt movements fluid, calm, stable strokes. Nice.

7:14 관중들 너무하네 ; 민트색 선수 발목 삐면서 부상 당할 뻔 한 상황이었는데 너무 좋아하는 것 같애

I see Taufik vibe on the Green/Black player. Cool!!!

the sudden video cut while the crowd is cheering is so funny

When you love badminton and is pretty good at it then realizes that my city has no teams

バドミントンって範囲が全部ギリ取れるラインだからテニスみたいに「これ無理だわ…」って諦められないのがマジでしんどかった記憶ある。

Absolutely International Level🔥🔥

There’s no way they are middle schoolers with that level of badminton

I see two strong badminton players ❤❤❤

山田くんは力強い感じで凄くのラリー、一つ一つを全力でやる感じがほんと好き。 渡邉くんは言うまでもない フットワークが軽すぎるw

The guy who wearing green black shirt remember me to taufik hidayat.. game style seriously looked like him.. expecially when his showed his backhand skill

They have so much better skills than I do…

The Japanese are very fast runners!!! I hope we get their training in our country as well!!!

Obviously the underdog is the kid on the white shirt, the black shirt kid was way more economical and creative in his decisions. Both have super clean techniques, it's already way better than most national teams on other countries.

兩位小小年紀打的那麼好.不要受傷.好好加油

They are definitely younger players at school level. School teams / junior national teams play like them at times. Good players, but smash way too often when not in good position. Can put themselves into unnecessary danger when being countered.

Its extremely amusing just seeing the audience's heads going back and forth lmao

Did anyone noticed crowd was only appreciating the player in white not the other one🌝

its so funny watching the heads all collectively turn

埼玉出身です 埼玉はバトミントンやけに強いんですよね この人たちもうますぎです😊

This makes me remind of my friend rn he's insane at badminton too

You guys are nuts, that was incredible !!

초록옷 입으신분 잘하시는데 아직 어려서 그런가 국대나 성인선수들은 하지 않는 스타일에 스킬들을 많이쓰네요 잔기술로 점수를 따기보단 정석과 셋업으로 점수따는게 더많은 성인경기랑은 다른 매력이 있습니다 ㅎㅎㅎ

Same for U-14/16/19 Badminton tournaments in india the level of players is almost the same somewhat and the cheering is similar too

지린다...

The crowd reminds me of Djokovic vs Federer in Wimbledon final 😤

ガチアウェーで草 精神的にも疲れる試合で良く勝てたな。強すぎ

hope Koki Watanabe will be the next Kento Momota

ya..they are school students...but the match probably not school level, its maybe national level competition....that makes different between two players to playing in the school and two players playing in national level competition. ..........

they are going places

Very smooth and nice reflexes

초록색 머리도 좋고 스텝도 좋네 무엇보다 상대보다 훨씬 더 많은 연습량이 느껴진다

the guy in white t shirt is not techinically sound. he does not know where to send the birdie so that opponents plays back to the side where he wants..the opponent is very good and he controlling the rallies. that is also because the white t shirt guy does not have full court coverage skills.

アウェー極めてますやん

Green shirt guy got my support right here 👌

どっちもレベル高いけど、黒の子の方が常に姿勢が安定してるし、その辺からレベルの差を感じる

không biết học sinh nước nào nhỉ.nhưng kỹ thuật rất tốt.Bạn áo xanh có thể trở thành vận động viên chuyên nghiệp trong tương lai.

Feels like their crushes are watching them and they know than😭

Koki Watanabe has become a professional badminton track and field member...

和歌山国体の時の映像ですね。 応援が一方的なのは地元だからです。 後、名前はやまだまさやだったと思います。

One in green is koki watanabe

Mantap

항상 잘보고 있습니다. 좋아요 누르고갑니다😀

They're soo to be professional players.

There is a huge gap. One is professionally trained, and one is probably pick up everything on his own.

The green shoes have more talented

That looks normal in Malaysia secondary school back then. Most students play like that, with tons of stamina to attack and defense. Nothing really surprising here as you notice most player aren't very patience with their shots.

the heads of the audience look funny moving side to side

Sometimes i wish i was a Korean or Japanese

The cross court net shot from the black guy is so good

둘다 엄청 잘한다..

i think they very very good

เห็นแล้วอยากไปลองเล่นกับพวกเขาดูจัง คงสนุกน่าดู 😆😆😆

The black t-shirt is nice foot work and he know what should do to kill shuttle cook to get score...

I have played nationals for my state in India

깃털처럼 가볍게 움직이는게 부럽네요 ㅠ

Love from India❤️

oh my god Back hand cross court smash? 0:21 what da....how he does that

중딩이 저럴수가 겜스타일 운영보면 울나라 실업선수 보다 운영을 잘하고 세계적 스타일 보는듯..
