[Saba Sports News] Recently, Olympic badminton champion Wang Yilu and his fiancee posted wedding photos on social media with the message: “Simple, two people.” The photos show Wang Yilu and his fiancee holding hands and smiling happily, which attracted many likes from fans who commented on the beauty of each picture, comparing them to a wedding magazine. Wang Yilu, 29, was originally a men’s doubles player for the Chinese national badminton team. In the last Olympic cycle, Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong dominated the mixed doubles scene, winning all major championships. Despite often being overshadowed and ranked second in the world, Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping reached their peak at the Tokyo Olympics, winning a valuable gold medal. However, due to physical injuries and the inability to handle high-intensity training, Wang Yilu announced his retirement last year as the Paris Olympics cycle began. Now, as Wang Yilu enters married life, he is starting a new chapter.
