Kenichi Tago (田児 賢一, Tago Ken'ichi, born July 16, 1989) is a male badminton player from Japan, the son of badminton player Yoshiko Yonekura. In 2010, he reached the final of the All England Open Badminton Championships final. En route to the final he beat three seeded players including Nguyen Tien Minh, Chen Jin and Bao Chunlai. In the final, Tago lost to the first seed and reigning World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia with a score of 21-19 and 21-19,[1] following an incorrect line call in Lee Chong Wei's favour at matchpoint.[2] In 2012, he competed at the London 2012 Summer Olympics in the men's singles event, but did not advance to the knock-out stage after being defeated by Niluka Karunaratne of Sri Lanka with a score of 18-21, 16-21.[3] In 2014, he reached the Indonesia Open final after a shocking win over Lee Chong Wei in the semifinal but could not keep up his good form and went on to lose by straight games in the final to Jan O. Jorgensen of Denmark. He competed at the 2010 and 2014 Asian Games.
In October 2015, Kenichi Tago was kicked out of Japan's national team by Park Joo-bong because of indiscipline, after he repeatedly missed training sessions and was proving to be a bad influence to other players.[5] On April 8, 2016, Tago admitted to squandering 10 million Japanese yen over a period of 2 years after making over 60 visits to illegal casinos. Gambling in Japan is illegal, with frequent gambling punishable with imprisonment of up to 3 years.[6]
Datuk Lee Chong Wei DB PJN AMN DCSM DSPN (born 21 October 1982) is a former Malaysian badminton player. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 349 weeks, these including a 199-week streak from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012.[1][2] He is the fourth Malaysian player after Rashid Sidek, Roslin Hashim and Wong Choong Hann to achieve such a ranking (since official rankings were first kept in the 1980s), and is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the number one ranking for more than a year.[3]
Widely considered as one of the greatest badminton players of all time,[4] Lee is a triple silver medalist at the Olympic Games, and the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympic medal.[3] He won his first silver medal in 2008, also the first time a Malaysian had reached the finals in the men's singles event. This achievement earned him the title Datuk, and led to then Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak describing him as a national hero.[5] He repeated the achievement twice more in 2012 and 2016, thus making him the most successful Malaysian Olympian in history.[6]
On 13 June 2019, Lee announced his retirement after struggling to return to full fitness following a nose cancer diagnosis.[7] He was appointed as Malaysia's chef de mission for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[8]
Lee was born in Bagan Serai, Perak,[9] into a Malaysian Chinese family, to Lee Ah Chai and Khor Kim Choi.[10][11] In his early years, he favoured basketball, however his mother soon banned him from the game due to the searing heat of the outdoor basketball court. Lee began to learn badminton at the age of 11, when his father, who liked to play the game, brought him to the badminton hall. He attracted the attention of local coach Teh Peng Huat, who asked Lee's father if he could take him as a student. After receiving his father's consent, Teh began to train Lee after school.[12] Discovered by Misbun Sidek, he was drafted into the national squad in 2000 when he was seventeen years old.[13]
He was in a relationship with Wong Mew Choo, his teammate. In 2009, Lee and Wong announced they are no longer together during the 2009 World Championships in Hyderabad, India. However, Lee announced his reconciliation with Mew Choo after winning a silver medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics.[16] They were married on 9 November 2012,[17] and have two children, Kingston and Terrance, who were born in April 2013 and July 2015 respectively.[18][19]

Can't believe they played so fast

So that's how is it feel watch in live.

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

Love that angle. Kenishi Tago footwork is very efficient, staying close to ground even in offense. Not taking unnecessary risk when attacking but could not regain initiative due to LCW front court control.

Unlucky for tago, his carrier ended too early tht could've be in world top 3

It's a great pity that they banned him and subsequently cut short his professional career on the circuit. What a waste !!

was the camera operated by human or robotic? moving as hell..

[@hayleyurie3997]

I think it's mounted to a slider and the cameraman adjusts it accordingly. This is usually for highlights that we see on live broadcasts.

for those who dont know, at the time tago was equal/better than momota

[@upy0ur5]

He was similar to Taufik in that he was insanely talented and barely ever trained or practiced. I heard he was less disciplined than Taufik too which says alot.
