      Exactly, what have these haters accomplished in their lives, probably nothing. It is not as if the channel is hyping their chances as winning the tournament. For the pair to quit their jobs, train again, and make the Olympic stage is the definition of the Olympic spirit.

    The real racket sports that requires skills, precision, finesses, and physical fitness are all dying, if not dead already, including badminton. People now play pickleball and cities are ripping up tennis courts and converting them into pickleball courts.
    One sport that I really like is squash but in the US racketball is much more popular. Most American have the physique of a squash.

      They can't go to the next level unless they leave the US for training.
      Same reason why foreign come to US to train for snowboarding training.

      Do you not know what the concept of an Asian American is? An asian american is an American whose ancestors come from Asia. There are 30 million (10 percent of the US) Asian Americans. In the San Francisco Bay Area, especially silicon valley/san jose area, these Asian Americans are even more common and are the most common Americans you will find. The video specifically said these twins were from the South Bay (San Jose Area). Why would they have Asian accents? That makes no sense. They aren't rare, they are Asian Americans from the South Bay, you can't more typical than that.

      Getting the opportunity to GO to the Olympics in itself is almost impossible. Yet, they are getting that chance.
      Do you think people don't understand their chances in sport? Do you think the lowest ranked competitor cares if they will lose to top ranked? 😂😂😂 OH, I'm about to play #1 rank first round I should just not attend the Olympics? Is that you?

    If its a crucial point and one of the sisters has a better serve, they can easily cheat by switching the server. Even if they are caught (which they won't), they can call it an accident.
