[63] The Banana Theory
from ShuttleSquad - Badminton Podcast Hosted by Thommy Fox
The full Shuttlesquad is back, although Kirsty joins the episode a little later after getting stuck on the way back from practice. Fresh off his Japan Open title, Christo Popov takes us behind the scenes of one of the biggest wins of his career, from battling through tough matches to flying straight to China for the next Super 1000 event. The squad also talks about life on tour, adapting to different tournament conditions, learning languages, and what players really experience behind the scenes at the biggest events.Somehow, the conversation also leads to Alex Lanier's hatred of bananas, Christo's very selective sushi order, Marvin trying baseball in Japan, and a passionate discussion about anti-doping and athlete welfare. A mix of elite badminton insights, travel stories, and the usual Shuttlesquad banter. Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen here on Spotify.
