[Saba Sports News] During the 2024 Thomas Cup, China’s former badminton champion Chen Long had an interesting interaction with Japan’s badminton champion Kento Momota. The behind-the-scenes video recently leaked. Among them, there is a scene like this: When asked by Chen Long “Does he have a significant other?” Momota nodded shyly at first, and then generously admitted that he had a lover. Since this is the first time Momota has publicly admitted to being in love, he has not revealed any information about his partner, which has triggered speculation and discussion among netizens. Among them, the most mentioned one is Japanese badminton women’s doubles player Fukushima Yuki. It is reported that five years ago, Japanese media reported that the Japanese Anti-Doping Agency found Yuki Fukushima in Momota’s single dormitory during a surprise inspection at 6 a.m., thereby confirming that Yuki Fukushima was staying at Kento’s dormitory at night. Although Kento argued that Fukushima Yuki was running in the morning at that time and only came in to chat when she saw his door open, fans did not buy into this statement. Later, the two were photographed by the sharp-eyed media wearing the same bracelet, but Kento still refused to admit their relationship. This time, Kento admitted that he has a lover. No wonder, among his many rumored girlfriends, the first one that fans think of is Fukushima Yuki.
