Hello all so I just wanted to share my experience for attending the 2016 China Open. I went as a player and was in the qualifications draw. My first every super series.
The venue was huge as was to be expected, the practice court area was pretty much good enough to have an international tournament in its own regards but was nicely set up for our use. Entering and exiting there was always security and our players accreditation had to be scanned at multiple points.
The atmosphere for the event was there, not as many people present the first day for qualifications but during mixed maindraw that evening it got fuller. The following days it was busy and a lot of people in attendance.
Just wanted to share some pictures of the whole experience with you. Had the honor of meeting Chen Long and Viktor, one of my friends knows him personally and we were able to get him to bring his bronze medal and held it.
Enjoy;
Practice Courts
Practicing on the tournament courts pre tournament
Courts during the tournament
Outside there was a little badminton village set up with all the sponsors and the stadium in the background
And With Chen Long
Viktor and his bronze medal
