Badminton Dream Challenge
~Taking on the Star Players~
The next generation of stars challenges the world’s top players
On the final day, Sunday, 20th July, the Dream Challenge was held before the championship match. Five winners from last year’s “25th DAIHATSU ABC Badminton National Primary School Tournament” were invited to participate. They had the rare chance to challenge world-class athletes, including Koki WATANABE, who had fought bravely in the semifinals the day before. The junior players lit up the same court where the finals would take place, bringing great excitement to the arena.
