J-Arena S2019E05 - Para-badminton

Badminton will be making its Paralympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games. 2009 para-badminton world champion, Ayako Suzuki, has returned to the sport as she aims for a gold medal on home soil. Known for her careful shot selection and smart strategy, the 31-year-old competes in a class for players with upper body disabilities. Having reclaimed the world number one spot, can she hold off Chinese rival Yang Qiuxia, more than 10 years her junior and leading the tally in their one-on-one battles?
