[Saba Sports News] The Thomas and Uber Cup held in Chengdu came to a successful conclusion. The Chinese team successfully won the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup. After the award ceremony, Chinese badminton men’s doubles player Liu Yuchen and mixed doubles player Huang Yaqiong took a high-profile photo. Liu Yuchen’s father was also in the photo, which attracted blessings from fans. It turns out that as early as October last year, Huang Yaqiong posted a photo with Liu Yuchen on social platforms, which seemed to be an official announcement of their relationship. At first, fans found it unbelievable because Huang Yaqiong is one year older than Liu Yuchen and the two are in a brother-sister relationship. Later, at the Hangzhou Asian Games, the two of them interacted with each other many times and officially announced their relationship in front of the public. It is reported that the two have met each other’s parents and are expected to get married after the Paris Olympics. The Chinese badminton team has always had a tradition of selecting couples within the team, from Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang to Chen Long and Wang Shixian. I believe this tradition will continue to be passed down in the future. It is worth mentioning that Liu Yuchen’s ex-girlfriend is Chinese badminton player Jia Yifan. Although the two have broken up, their past relationship experiences are still a topic of interest among fans.
