The ClearOne Badminton Centre set a record-breaking performance on the weekend at the Canadian National Badminton Championships capturing ten medals, two more than the province of Ontario and four more than powerhouse Quebec.

 

The Medal haul was led by Derrick Ng and Adrian Liu, who dominated the Mens Doubles category for a Gold Medal performance.

Said Liu,  “After this week, I believe more than ever that we will be representing Richmond in the London 2012 Olympic Games. We achieved a new level this weekend”

ClearOne also received silver medals from Joyce Ko, who recently moved from Ontario to Richmond in search of a better training atmosphere, as well as Phyllis Chan and Christin Tsai in the Ladies doubles.

At 15-years-old, Christin Tsai is the youngest ever woman to win a silver medal at the National Champions and appears a shoe-in for the 2016 Olympics.

“She’s the best I have ever seen,” says Darryl Yung, Head Coach and CEO of ClearOne Badminton. “Her potential is not just Olympic…it’s podium material.”

President of ClearOne Badminton, Bobby Milroy, said of the performance, “This nationals has firmly established Richmond as the center of badminton in Canada and likely the continent. Without question, Canada’s Olympic hopes for 2012 are to be found in this city.”

The ClearOne team is now firmly focused on the Junior Nationals to be held at the Richmond Olympic Oval in April.
