Last week, on November 28th and 29th, I attended the 26th Badminton Matches for the Old by the Badminton Federation of Gejiu. There were 14 men’s doubles and 7 women’s.  I and my partner stood for the education departments and won the championship for the men’s doubles.  First, we beat all our 6 opponents in our group, went into the final without a single lose, and then again beat our final opponents and won the last 2 matches to become the last winners.

     Most people thought it would be easy for us to win the matches, but in fact it was really not, at least I didn’t think so, because it was the first time I and my partner, Mr. Tian cooperated in matches and worse more he had an injured knee, which blocked him to act, especially to move backwards.

     In order to win, we had a special tactics.  We put him under  the net at the front court to block the net and to avoid being attacked, while I stayed back court to control our opponents, as well as the matches.  So in this way, we won the matches from games to games one by one to the end. 

     This was my first championship after my retirement, and I hope more in the future, if possible to enjoy myself.
