    Viktor speaks awesome Mandarin. Puts me to shame... And it's great to see the special bond between them. Lky is likely the nicest sports celeb around. He makes all of us in sgp so proud! 🇸🇬❤️

    LKY has improved by leaps and bounds after all these training with Vik. Hence, I actually think the SBF should start more such programs to help our locals spar with overseas top players. Its lovely to see 2 top players from a totally different background and culture being such buddies, kool!

    it is such a surprise to learn that Axelsen could speak such fluent mandarin. Goes to show when a person is determined to learn he would succeed. The beginning of great friendship started as training partner evolving into brotherly competitor and both will flip flop in winning competition but once off the court - badminton brotherhood. Great to see how sports always bring the best of each of us. Same like Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer -both respects each other on and off the court...rarely one sees such good sportsmanship. Hope both will keep challenging each other and push each to excel....thanks Straits Times for bringing us this interview...

      He's very smart. He knows where the market for badminton is. He also grew up in the internet age where his idols Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei dominated the circuit. Now he's been able to connect on a more personal level with some of the giants in the sport as well as opening some more sponsorship opportunities overseas.

      @@luf4rall besides being smart his willingness to learn mandarin is very difficult because it is so different from his mother tongue.. being in Europe many of the languages have commonality... Mandarin is totally different so he has to put in lots of effort... it is such a surprise and am glad that Axel spoke so fluently

      Can you speak your national language? It's a shame when people make mandarin is such an important language as most Malaysian born Chinese can't even speak good malay and English anymore. Hearing Loh Kean yew English with those hockien accent reminds me of Mark Lee znd Jack neo speaking Singlish.
