[Saba Sports News] The 2023 Badminton World Tour Finals are currently
underway, and the organizers have added some unique elements to enhance the
event. Along with captivating light shows, live DJ interactions, and various
background music, the well-known anime character “Crayon Shin-chan”
has made an appearance to interact with the audience. This marks the first time
in the history of the World Tour Finals that such an interactive experience has
been incorporated. “Crayon Shin-chan” not only engaged with the
audience but also visited the training ground to cheer for the players. When
facing Chinese Taipei player Tai Tzu-Ying, “Shin-chan” portrayed a
shy child. In the presence of Danish player Anders Antonsen,
“Shin-Chan” attempted to catch the ball with its crotch but ended up
falling to the ground, resulting in laughter from Antonsen. Moreover,
“Shin-chan” presented rackets to the Indonesian women’s doubles team,
Apriani Rahayu and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadanti, and even had them perform the
popular internet dance known as “subject three” while holding the
rackets.
