[Saba Sports News] Badminton women’s singles
champion Tai Tzu-Ying, who plans to retire at the end of 2024, is being
celebrated through the “Team Tai” campaign. Taiwanese badminton brand
Vitol has launched this campaign, featuring advertisements on city buses and
branded clothing, showcasing Tai Tzu Ying’s image. Supporters are encouraged to
wear “Team Tai” clothing during her competitions. The campaign
incorporates Tai Tzu Ying’s favorite motto, “Believe in yourself,”
which is printed on T-shirts, sports towels, and canvas bags. Additionally, her
portrait can be seen on the Taipei and Kaohsiung buses, coinciding with her
consecutive ranking as the world number one in women’s singles badminton. Tai
Tzu Ying, who held the top ranking in women’s singles badminton for a
record-breaking 214 consecutive weeks since 2016, expressed some embarrassment
about seeing a bus with her image on the streets. Despite it being her last
year in competition, she remains determined to give her best and expresses
gratitude to all her supportive fans.
