How They Won Olympic Gold - Zheng & Huang's OLYMPIC SECRETS

Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong are regarded amongst many badminton fans to be the greatest mixed doubles pair ever! And the reason they think this way is because their list of achievements and accolades is absolutely unreal! 2 Asian Games titles, 3 All England titles, 3 World titles and an Olympic Games Gold are just the tip of a very large iceberg. With their very recent retirement many badminton fans have been left wondering how they did it? What was their secret to such success? Well in this video I unveil their secret, by talking directly with their strength and conditioning coach, Cristian Luque, who worked with the pair from when they started in 2018 right until they won gold in Paris last year. This might just be one of my favourite videos I have ever made and it was only possible thanks to Cristian, who gave up so much time to being interviewed by me, giving me photos, videos and their full Olympic plan, as well as answering (in depth) my many follow up questions. Enjoy.
