  • Aya Ohori to Retire by Year-End, Last Match Next Week

    Aya Ohori to Retire by Year-End, Last Match Next Week

    Today, badminton star Aya Ohori announced her retirement at the end of this year via her personal Instagram. The upcoming Kumamoto Masters, starting on November 12, will be her last international tournament in Japan.

    Aya Ohori’s Statement:

    “Hello everyone, I have an important announcement. I have decided to retire at the end of this year.

    My badminton career hasn’t always been smooth, but thanks to the support of so many wonderful friends, I have overcome numerous challenges.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Tonami Transportation Badminton Club for their help over the years. My sincere gratitude goes to the Nippon Badminton Association, all my sponsors, my family, friends, and all supporters. Without you, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today.

    Badminton has taught me a lot, and I’ve experienced many wonderful things through it. I truly love playing badminton, so deciding to retire was not easy. However, I can say that, with everyone’s support, my 22-year career has been filled with joy.

    Next week’s Kumamoto Masters will be my last international match in Japan. I’d be thrilled if you continue to cheer for me. Thank you so much for your warm support over the years.”

    Previous Reports:

    For the past two years, rumors have circulated about Aya Ohori and Malaysian men’s doubles player Ong Yew Sin being in a relationship.

    Both players recently participated in the 2024 Indonesia Badminton All-Star Invitational. Fans spotted two intriguing moments: first, as Ong Yew Sin interacted with a medal-winning player, a female player beside him pointed at Aya Ohori and whispered something to Ong Yew Sin, leading Aya Ohori to playfully touch Ong Yew Sin’s head. In another instance, Cheuk Yiu Lee, sitting beside Aya Ohori in the cheer section, smiled while pointing at Ong Yew Sin in the aisle and then at Aya Ohori, hinting at a relationship.

    There have been previous reports from insiders in the badminton community suggesting that Aya Ohori and Ong Yew Sin have been quietly dating for years. This event at the Indonesia All-Star added fuel to fan speculation.

    Standing at 169 cm, Aya Ohori first traveled to Malaysia in 2015 to participate in the Purple League. In an interview, she mentioned how warm and friendly Malaysians were, even telling her parents that she hoped to settle in Malaysia after retirement and marry a Malaysian.

    It seems possible that Aya Ohori and Ong Yew Sin have known each other for a long time.

    Later, Ong Yew Sin shared a photo on his Instagram featuring himself with Aya Ohori and Arisa Higashino. Fans noted that Ong Yew Sin and Aya Ohori‘s hands were unusually close.

    Today, a Malaysian social media account further fueled rumors by posting a photo of Ong Yew Sin and Aya Ohori allegedly wearing matching outfits while shopping, captioned: “An open secret, best wishes to you both.”

    In 2020, Ong Yew Sin and his partner Teo Ee Yi were dismissed from the Malaysian national team by the Badminton Association of Malaysia. However, their performance continued to improve, with a bronze at the 2021 World Championships. Despite this, they have not won a title since their victory at the 2020 Thailand Masters, with their best results this year being semifinal finishes at the German and China Opens.

    Aya Ohori, a late bloomer, became Japan’s second women’s singles player after Nozomi Okuhara struggled with injuries. Last year, she won a bronze medal in women’s singles at the Asian Games, and this year, she claimed gold at the Thailand Masters and Australia Open, as well as reaching the semi-finals at the Super 1000 China Open.

    For the past two years, the badminton world has been buzzing with rumors about a romantic relationship between badminton star Aya Ohori and Malaysian men’s doubles player Ong Yew Sin.

    Both players recently participated in the 2024 Indonesia Badminton All-Star Invitational, where two specific interactions caught fans’ attention. In one instance, while Ong Yew Sin was interacting with the medalists, a nearby female player pointed at Aya Ohori and seemed to say something to Ong Yew Sin, who responded with a laugh as Aya Ohori playfully patted his head. In another moment, Cheuk Yiu Lee, who was seated next to Aya Ohori in the cheering section, looked toward the aisle where Ong Yew Sin was standing, pointed at Aya Ohori, and smiled knowingly.

    Previously, insiders in the badminton community hinted that Aya Ohori and Ong Yew Sin have been in a long-term secret relationship, with this recent interaction sparking more speculation among fans.

    Aya Ohori, who stands at 169 cm, first came to Malaysia in 2015 for the Purple League. During an interview, she mentioned how friendly Malaysians are, adding that she’d told her parents she’d like to settle in Malaysia and hopes to marry a Malaysian after her retirement.

    It seems possible that Aya Ohori and Ong Yew Sin have known each other for quite some time.

    Later, Ong Yew Sin even posted a photo on his Instagram with Aya Ohori and Arisa Higashino. Eagle-eyed fans noted that Aya Ohori and Ong Yew Sin were standing very close to each other, with their hands almost touching.

    Today, a Malaysian social media outlet even fueled the rumors by posting a picture of Ong Yew Sin and Aya Ohori allegedly wearing matching outfits while shopping, captioned with: “An open secret, best wishes to you both.”

    In 2020, Ong Yew Sin and his partner Teo Ee Yi were dropped from Malaysia’s national team by the Badminton Association of Malaysia. However, they achieved success soon after, winning bronze at the 2021 World Championships. But since their title win at the 2020 Thailand Masters, they’ve had a four-year title drought, with their best results this year being semifinal finishes at the German Open and China Open.

    Meanwhile, Aya Ohori has been blossoming in her career. With Nozomi Okuhara facing setbacks due to injury, Aya Ohori has taken on the role of Japan’s second women’s singles player. Last year, she won bronze in women’s singles at the Asian Games and has since claimed gold at the Thailand Masters and Australian Open this year, along with a semifinal appearance at the Super 1000 China Open.

    Best wishes to this potential “Condor Heroes” couple of the badminton world.

  • Sze Fei-Izzuddin Overcome Early Scare in First Professional Match at Hong Kong Open

    Sze Fei-Izzuddin Overcome Early Scare in First Professional Match at Hong Kong Open

    There’s been speculation that Chin Eei Hui might step in as the new coach for the independent men’s doubles team of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani. However, before making their mark in the second round of the Hong Kong Open, the pair encountered a significant challenge.

    In their first tournament since departing from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), Goh and Nur Izzuddin were tested thoroughly by Taiwan’s Lee Fang-chih and Lee Fang-jen. They managed to secure a hard-fought victory with scores of 21-17, 15-21, 24-22 in a gripping 60-minute match at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Kowloon.

    The path ahead is unlikely to get any easier for the world No. 12 pair as they prepare to face Indonesia’s Shohibul Fikri and Daniel Marthin in their bid for a quarterfinal spot.

    Goh and Nur Izzuddin are currently the highest-ranked Malaysian men’s doubles pair competing here, given the absence of world No. 5 Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik.

    Although they’ve joined Rosman Razak’s independent coaching team, there’s potential for Eei Hui to come on board as their new coach. Eei Hui recently signed with the same sponsor, Victor, as Goh and Nur Izzuddin.

    Previously, Eei Hui coached the independent pair Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi before relocating to New Zealand early last year to lead the North Harbour Club in Auckland.

    It remains uncertain if Eei Hui will leave her current role and return to Malaysia to coach Goh and Nur Izzuddin.

    In other news, the national pair Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun also advanced to the second round after a comeback win over teammates Yap Roy King and Wan Arif Wan Junaidi with scores of 15-21, 21-8, 21-11.

    They will meet China’s Xie Haonan and Zeng Weihan in their next match.

    Young talents Aaron Tai and Kang Khai Xing face a challenging first-round match today against South Korea’s world champions Kang Min-hyuk and Seo Seung-jae, following their 21-12, 21-19 victory over Canada’s Lan Kan Kern and Larry Pong in the qualifiers.
