![When the Rising star Challenge the Legend | Kento Momota vs Lee Chong Wei [FullHD|1080p]](/img/n.gif)
On April 18, 2024, Kento Momota announced his retirement, officially ending his 11-year career as a Japanese national team athlete.
The Thomas Cup 2024 will mark Momota's final international competition. Congratulations to him and the team on their achievements.
Kento Momota retires from the Japanese national badminton team. Thank you for your hard work as a representative of Japan for nearly a decade. Leading the forefront of Japanese badminton, he has showcased many remarkable performances that will remain in records and memories.
Kento Momota has accepted and overcome numerous challenges. In the future, he will support activities and new challenges aimed at promoting badminton.
Kento Momota's exceptional skill and relentless spirit on the badminton court have been a beacon of inspiration for me. His mastery of the game and unwavering determination showcased the heights that can be reached through hard work and dedication. Hearing about his retirement leaves me with a profound sense of sadness, as his presence in the sport has been truly remarkable. Momota's departure from professional badminton marks the end of an era, but his legacy will continue to inspire countless players, including myself, to strive for greatness both on and off the court.
need one for chen long, much love
@@Walz_1 There's one by Ben Beckman and it's pretty good. The most underappreciated badminton player ever, hurts me how he was treated in 2021
Imagine what Momota could've done if it weren't for that one accident. He would have been unstoppable. But the fact that he has the strength to continue playing in tournaments is an achievement in itself. If he hasn't given up on himself, neither should we.
Regardless of that accident, Axelsen would still crushed him 🤣🤣🤣
@@leedahye25 lmao stop clowning yourself🤡. Axelsen would not be able to crush Momota if he didn't have that accident.
@@leedahye25Axelsen major medals all coincide with tragedy happen to momota. What a lucky player, where his kryptonite is not there to beat him. Without the accident and covid infection, KM will always win 90% of time against VA. N
@@leedahye25 yeahhh no...
Vector would have been killed on court
In 2013, I watched Momota for the first time in the all Japan championship. And his performance in the tournament got 15-year-old me into badminton. As soon as I entered high school, I joined the school badminton team. During my high school time without any teachers with badminton skill, he'd been the only coach for me. I watched almost all the tournaments he participated in to learn from the way he swings, how he moves on the court, etc.
He brought me, with only 2 years of badminton experience, to 8th position in the prefectural high school championship.
He's been my hero.
Thank you very much for this video. As an American Badminton fan, I don't get to see very much about the stars of the sport. I have long admired Kento Momota's skill on the court. What a tragedy that his greatest ambitions were taken away from him.
Yeah ❤
Kento Momota might actually have the worst story out of all players, not in like he's bad but the fact that he has had so many setbacks and his dreams taken so many times, despite this, he still is playing badminton and still love the sport, and you gotta respect that.
I truly feel like crying while watching him lose
After the car crash His legendary career turned into such a tragedy
Can't truly believe it
best badminton documentary made. Kento momota will forever be a hero to the badminton community.
He deserves a movie.
He deserves atleast one Olympic medal
No chance now 😭 because there is tough competition in men's singles
His best chance was 2016 😢. Easily he could've won gold
@@cricpaint2135 shutup fool
😢😢😢
@@cricpaint2135 shutup fool
What a lovely tribute, I wish him the best moving forward.
He can play his best if he trust in himself and leave aside the worries. He's an inspirational player for all badminton fans.
This year 2024 is only for kento momota. Best of luck for 2024 olympic games we want you see winning gold ...
Very difficult to qualify though 😢
He can't qualify he is on 52th world wide nd 7th in Japan .he announced retirement
At least he tried his best..
His story should be made into a movie. Extremely gifted, he was on his way to become badminton GOAT until the tragic accident in Malaysia.
Guys, I feel so sorry for him. This man is so inspiring and Thank you @ThisisBadminton for showing his journey so well. I want to see him win the olympic Gold
@12:57 the sound of everyone's heart crush ... I still remember the first time when I saw his match on TV live (should be around 2014-15), I watched his whole game, I never did that, especially for someone who is not famous at that time. I was so addicted to his solid fundamentals, and at that point of time, I told my dad that this guy is gonna be world no.1 and dominant one day in the near future. And time proves me right. Felt so sorry for the incident he met, but I forever supports him. Gambateh kudasai Momota-san!
"I fear not the man who has done it once, but I fear the man who has done it over and over again"
I won't be surprised if he makes another comeback.
as much as i want it to happen like you wish but the ultimate enemy of aging. You can never beat that one...for now.
I would. Maybe he can reach SOME finals again, but he is past 30 now, and there are quite a few amazing players on the circut right now, who can handle Momotas stamina now.
@@LouiseAndersen1991you know experience can play a role in this, he was once the no.1 I believe he can make it
We would be experiencing momota-axelsen era if the crash and gambling never happened 💔💔
If the crash never happened he might have got the gold medal
Momota-Axelsen Olympic final would've been epic.
Or he might not. @@Ace_gamerpro1336
Literally cried watching this. Thanks for sharing this story to the world !
Japanese & World Badminton Legend with a great attitude and character. Badminton lovers all over the world surely will be missing you, but most important that we wish you a happy retirement and hope we still can see you with Japanese National Badminton Team. Best wishes from Indonesia
here is my tear😢， accept its😭
I love Momota 😍😍😍 love form 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 plz come back you are @ legend of badminton ❤❤❤
My favorite person in the world is "Kento Momota". I admire everything about him, his passion and manners, playstyle. His life story is full of ups and downs and his old ups were taken away from an accidet and back injury. I truly sympathize with him. I have thought about it many times, wishing there hadn't been an accident and back injury. But he could win in Korea in 2023. he overcame the obstacle. It is why I think he is a legend. I wish for him to find comfort in happiness. I will continue to support him from Japan. Thank you for making the great video!!
The video quality is top-notch, making this one of the best badminton channels on TH-cam. We hope you'll produce more high-quality videos for us in the future!❤
❤️ Thanks,Your satisfaction always makes me happy.
I feel like that last sentence of him saying "The word "Go forward" is written here." is such a good ending for this video. He is one of the best badminton players oat
Being an avid badminton player and a giant Momota fan, I follow every series to see him there when otherwise I don’t watch the games… I have huge confidence in Momota’s talent and grit that he will surely rise to his former glory and dominate the badminton stage again.. Go Momota!!
"Momota sensei, fighting". It's really good to see you again.
a fan from Viet Nam.
he is my favorite badminton player like i get so sad when ever he looses a match even tho he could have won the match. BUT THAT DAMN ACCIDENT
Happy retirement Momota! You've inspired countless badminton fans with your play, your wonderful attitude and humility. Your story is full of emotion, you touched the highest highs and the lowest lows, and you carried yourself with such grace through all of it.
While this maybe the end of your career as a player, it's just the start of a new adventure. We wish you a wonderful and happy retirement and success in all of your future endeavors Momota.
Momota has suffered from such adversary during his playing career, especially in regards to his olympic runs, near the end of the 2010s Momota had the badminton world in his hands - he really had no challenger - it seemed like he was destined to dominate for years to come. Of course that was not meant to be but I think Momota is slowly making it back and I am happy to see as he is one of the greatest players to watch in modern badminton history.
His name will forever be remembered, he was so skilful, even when life throws curveballs at him. I wish him the best this season.
No one was even close to him in 2018-2019 goat any tournament one winner thats is kento for us ❤wish to see him back again 😢❤
Amazing documentary. I started watching Badminton in 2018 and Momota was so good at that time. Sad to see his downfall though
You can still do it letsgo kento gl for upcoming tourney🤞🤞
He, who has to start all over again for a 2nd time surely will not be easy. The fact that he said badminton is not fun anymore truly shows how this series of unfortunate events were taking a toll on him.
I just want him to have fun again and get what he deserved before he officially retired. He deserve all the success in this world ❤ the only player who are loved by all badminton lovers across the countries. Even in Malaysia, the whole stadium chanting his name even though he lost. Truly a living legend
My kid plays badminton. My kid is 11. My kid has only ever known Viktor Axelsen number 1 in the World. My kid absolutely adores Momota and ranks him in the top 3 ever. Godspeed from Denmark, Kento
I still believe him can make miracle in 2024
What kind of story can write about this man's ups and downs along the way.This is the best documentary about Kento momota,Thank you for sharing.
A real hero in lifetime should be the one as Kento memota. He never giveup , coz he moves on watever comes .

桃田を応援しているのは日本人だけじゃない、世界中のファンも応援している。
ここのコメントもそんな人達からの応援の言葉で溢れている。
そこに一番感動し涙が出ました。
桃田は世界のバドミントンプレイヤーの希望です。
Thanks for this video, really impressed!!
Thanks
100% support momota. I nearly wanted to cry when he came back from ban and rise up to be world number 1. Thanks for the documentary
Incredible editing! Props to you. Seeing Momota's journey completely broke my heart. If there's anyone in the world right now that deserve the Olympic Gold Title it's him.
七転び八起き 頑張れ桃田選手どこまでも着いていきます
Power,Resilience,Set back………….come on …..you are still powerful enough ………….come back stronger man
Anticipated king of badminton. love from Sri lanka.
The Nippon Badminton Association is to be blamed for the terrible mistake of "punishing" Japan's national badminton hero for his gambling addiction instead of"helping" him out of the habbit and regain his dignity in the badminton world. The action of the NBA has caused Momota dearly, since then, his career has been on the downhill. So sad to see him retire.😢
いつまでも桃田を応援するぞ！！
Really appreciate your effort in making this marvelous documentary for Kento Momota! Merci beaucoup ! P/s: 桃田選手、がんばれー💪! You are an inspiring model.🙌
He will shine again
Thank you for another great video. So many thoughts and emotions watching it. No matter what, Momota is a badminton legend. He reaches a higher level of success after every tragedy that he faced. It would be incredible to see him rise again and dominate the men’s singles discipline for the 3rd time. We’re rooting for you, Kento Momota. 🏸
As I said often already - your videos are simply a masterpiece. You have a talent and please, never stop making these incredible videos! What an insightful and emotional video, the editing is, as always, phenomenal!
You make my day😊. There's still a long way to improve.
泣きました
自分も桃田選手のようにポジティブに強くプレー出来る選手になるよう頑張ろうと思えるような動画でした
桃田選手は自分もまだまだ現役で活躍できるような選手だと思うので応援してます🔥🔥🔥🔥

😍😘🤩 Very touching story, Fighting Kento Momota! You are born for sport so keep up the good work. We support all sportsmen. Fighting🤩😘😍
He beat sriki from 12 -19 down,, he become horror for indians that day
Still cannot believe it :))
lol kidambi beat himself by making lots of unforced errors 🤣🤣🤣
Classic kidambi 😂@@leedahye25
Best to be the least...one who can get over adversary like him is tremendous in itself...respect bro....Wow..
One of my favourite and inspiring player. Momota Happy Retirement. Will miss you
When he said:”Go forward”, I actually cried.
Thank you, Kento Momota!
I cried and smiled thank you for an amazing and well edited docu. Momota is always and will always be my favourite no matter what. Really hope he shines brighter this year ! And thank again for such a good docu !!
6:57 I hope Momota as of now will once again return to this moment and reemerge as a phoenix would
sorry but he couldn't anymore
What the car accident and Covid took from Momota we will never know, both himself and his head coach said he has fully recovered, but on the court he played like he has aged 10 years.
His post accident form remained me of LD just before he retired, slow on defense and weak attacking game, frequently losing to second tier players. Momota’s once impenetrable defense that frustrated Axelsen so much became porous, always half a step too slow to the net, couldn’t get down low fast enough for smashes, and when his opportunity comes, often hit a drop shot or clear back instead of attacking. For LD it was Father Time, but Momota has lost something mentally or physically or maybe both from the accident.
Momota in his prime was Viktor's worst nightmare
The trajectory of the shuttle when he hit is different from other players . Those precision shot allow him to beat VA.
One of the most beautiful videos from badminton scene, thank you for that gougeous edition!
come back champ🙌🙌
petition to make an anime about kento momotas life, i think many people would want to watch it
incredible video congrats

Une des meilleures vidéos que j’ai jamais vu 🤗
Reviens-nous Kento et continue de nous faire rêver comme tu as déjà pu le faire auparavant 🙏
Et par pitié, change de raquette et rejoue avec l’Astrox 99, c’est avec elle que tu as brillé 😉
vues
wow.. This video editing is so good!!..
Very touching video for a player that is so talented and captivating. Thank you!! ♥️
Love this video so much, huge fan of Badminton, especially Momota. I was a member of a badminton club during my secondary school. Then I quit due to studying, however, my passion is back because of Momota. Thank you very much.
Without the two massive setbacks in his career he would literally have been the next Lin Dan in terms of success/dominance I'm certain of it. The most unlucky player in history.
I dont think he would have quite reached "Lin Dan" status - 2 Olympic Gold, 5 worlds, 6 All England, and who knows how many Asian Games or Asaian Championsships or Thomas Cup trophys he has.
But I do think he could have become even better and stronger than LCW because at his prime- no one could stop him. In LCW prime: LD could.
@@LouiseAndersen1991 I agree, not quite Lin Dan status but definitely not far off, and he would definitely have the title of next Lin Dan as the next Lin Dan is any player who is extremely dominant and consistent like Lin Dan
@@bobmarley6306 the thing is: if you look at it, statiscly, LD was not that constitant. Not compared to LCW who I think has a career KM could have rivaleved
@LouiseAndersen1991 True, good point. I guess when I say next Lin Dan I actually mean a player with the same unbeatable aura and dominance, which Momota did achieve for about 2yrs
Momotaaaa!
So much effort went into editing this video. Thank you so much.
love the aussie accent narrator haha
