The 2018 season has ended. However, the activity of this forum must keep going. I create this thread for fun and also evoke our memories back throughout the 2018 season. Before the game starts, here are the rules that you all have to follow.
  1. You can only create up to 10 badminton fun facts in 2018.
  2. Any of the fun facts will be tailored with the number of your choosing.
  3. A number is linked to only one fun facts of yours.
The fun facts can involve the players, the matches, the tournaments, and anything else as long as these have anything to do with BWF 2018 season.

You can ask me if there is something that is not clear in this games. If you have more than 10 fun facts that you come up with, you can turn some of the fun facts into hints for other members to guess. Enjoy and have fun.

Let's start with mine.

Sadly, it is the world number one TTY who has no WC medal until now. Next year, she should win any of the WC medal.

Total minions age 27+23 = 50

Number 10 is the extra. So it is just 10 fun facts from me. :p

Yes 2 from BAC for Zhang Nan

5 is the number Wang/Huang lost in the final this year and that's the fact. Me praying means they lost. Maybe I should have said me wishing?

People get shorter with age haha. But plus minus 1 cm is normal, might be because of bad posture or something else.
