Badminton players making their debut or returning to the Olympics since Tokyo are struggling with the bright, bustling environment of the Paris Games, where vibrant lights and enthusiastic crowds make it harder to track the shuttlecock.
The Porte de La Chapelle Arena is filled with bright lights, loud cheers, and colourful visuals, creating a stark contrast to the darker, quieter settings they are used to.
Players like Anders Antonsen, Intanon Ratchanok, and Wang Chi-lin have found it challenging to maintain a clear vision of the shuttlecock, affecting their performance amidst the lively atmosphere.
