They are world 32 as of today. That is impressive ❤
Aren't they 24?
@@hoveringcow World Rank 31 . World Tour Rank 25.
WORLD RANK Tour is World Rank includes all BWF-sanctioned tournaments, while World Tour Rank is limited to World Tour events.
Don’t listen to the pathetic doubters! Congratulations on achieving such a huge dream and good luck at the olympics! Thanks for representing our country 🇺🇸
Exactly, what have these haters accomplished in their lives, probably nothing. It is not as if the channel is hyping their chances as winning the tournament. For the pair to quit their jobs, train again, and make the Olympic stage is the definition of the Olympic spirit.
Wow CONGRATULATIONS!!! I used to train with them back in 2013 and even back then they were still incredible! They beat me so much back then 😭
Well done, Ladies! All the best.
All the best!
They need to use the same racket string + same racket to confuse the other team too!
No one cares. Honestly. No chance
No chance, they are only going to Olympics to make up for the numbers only. Bang average pair😂
They’re ranked 32 in the world, that’s an automatic qualification spot for the highest level of tournament in the world (Super 1,000). They are clearly much better than average.
@@iamaperson6278‘tis Olympic. Qualification is top 16 for doubles. Now wat do u think abt it? No chance
Use different rackets, then swap them throughout the matches. 😂
Beautiful❤..congratulations😘
YOU GO GIRLS!!!!
SHOCK THE WORLD
Awesome
If you come across this, please send your prayers and positive energy. I’ve been battling health issues for years.
Omg too identical, how confusing for their teachers and friends lol
good luck
Good Luck! You gals need to train extremely hard. Suggest heading off to a top tier country for 2-3 month to be coached (Denmark, Malaysia, Japan, etc) and learn new strategies.
Halfway through the video and I have come to resent the word "like".
In 1957, 1960 & 1963 the United States women's badminton win the Uber Cup.. They should bring back this sport in NCAA..
They will upset Chen/Jia in the Olympics lol
Good luck. We never see badminton anyway. They never televised that Asian sport on mainstream tv.
Try watch at youtube channel BWF TV.i think america can watch at youtube.because BL(Badminton Lover) Asian must use vpn america to watch at youtube BWF TV.
You know that along time ago USA women's badminton won Uber Cup right.. What happened??
Watching it on Peacock TV in New York right now
CHINA,JAPAN, DENMARK AND INDONESIA ARE TOO TOUGH FOR THESE YOUNG PLAYERS.
Neven seen them at bwf tour
打那一個
那一個？
額….！
You go, girls!
The real racket sports that requires skills, precision, finesses, and physical fitness are all dying, if not dead already, including badminton. People now play pickleball and cities are ripping up tennis courts and converting them into pickleball courts.
One sport that I really like is squash but in the US racketball is much more popular. Most American have the physique of a squash.
Ko early round
they are so lucky that few people play badminton professionally in US
They have skills along with being "lucky." They have played world level badminton so their are other things. You can cry about something else.
Nothing is lucky to compete at a high level in the Olympics. There’s a lot of competition at anything here in the U.S.
On the flip side they don't have much resource or help. And it's most likely not as easy as you thought. 😂
@@GiverOfFreedom They're the best in the US... But they aren't good from a professional perspective.
You should see the other women's doubles teams.
They can't go to the next level unless they leave the US for training.
Same reason why foreign come to US to train for snowboarding training.
Go USA!!
Hand skills, foot works, body training, 10000 x 3 per day, everything the above is too late... your heart needs to have an American flag
They have such a prominent valley girl accent lmao
they are from the bay so they definitely do NOT have valley girl accents.
@@mob1tches Might just be a California thing, but really it's just the upward intonation.
Yeah, not a stereotypical Valley Girl accent though.
I'm pretty clueless on Bay Area accents. I've hidden my former East Coast and former Hawaii accent.
@mob1tches you clearly haven't experienced bay area teenagers lmao
@@mob1tches anyone who's been in the bay knows that boba, valley girl accent, and raves are the holy trinity of bay area abgs
Will they win at least one match in the group stage?
Go USA
chinese
The twins have Americanized voices. They don't have foreign Asian accents.
wow who would've guessed. It's not like most americans from the south bay are asian descent.
Do you not know what the concept of an Asian American is? An asian american is an American whose ancestors come from Asia. There are 30 million (10 percent of the US) Asian Americans. In the San Francisco Bay Area, especially silicon valley/san jose area, these Asian Americans are even more common and are the most common Americans you will find. The video specifically said these twins were from the South Bay (San Jose Area). Why would they have Asian accents? That makes no sense. They aren't rare, they are Asian Americans from the South Bay, you can't more typical than that.
Dude - stop. You say this same thing in multiple videos.
Maybe its because they are american?
Jesus, what a finding! Now get a life🤡🥱
No offense but they'll get crushed on the world stage.
No offense, but do you think they care?
People like you just show how sad they are in their own lives.
Getting the opportunity to GO to the Olympics in itself is almost impossible. Yet, they are getting that chance.
Do you think people don't understand their chances in sport? Do you think the lowest ranked competitor cares if they will lose to top ranked? 😂😂😂 OH, I'm about to play #1 rank first round I should just not attend the Olympics? Is that you?
@GiverOfFreedom no offense but you have no idea what your talking about. I play competitively and watch the sport so I know what they're up against. I never said anything about giving up so don't assume anything, simp.
If that's the case they won't be able to qualify. 😂
this guys name is lord dumbass 🤣🤣 makes sense
@@ye333they qualified as Americans. They wouldn't qualify in Malaysia.
Well to be fair, they all look like twins. XD
The get in because they limit each country to only one pair per country unless the pair is ranked top 8 in the world. This two will have a nice holiday in Paris. The will be crushed in the 1st round! There no group matches in the Olympics
U sure no group match?
Even going to Olympics to get crushed is a privilege. You seem like a very sad person in your life. Yeah, their is almost no chance but getting experience can boost a lot of things. Their is no expectations but it is a game. Just because your a pos person you think it's okay to ahit on others. They going to Olympics while you are a keyboard warrior. 😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like jealousy... 😂
they got in because that's how you qualify, by being good in the rankings. In what are you top 50 in the world? Maybe top 50 in being a sad little jealous man
If its a crucial point and one of the sisters has a better serve, they can easily cheat by switching the server. Even if they are caught (which they won't), they can call it an accident.
Duh!
