We saw badminton matches for the first time.
Seeing the players run non-stop all across the court showed us that this is a really tough sport.
The emotions of the players striking a triumphant pose when they won a point, or crying in frustration, came through to us as spectators and made us feel involved.
To all the players, please keep doing your best.
