Young challengers and defeated champions: All England 2023

(03/21/23 10:00am)

The All England Open 2023 surprised its audience since the first day of the tournament. Previous championship title holder and world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen was defeated in the preliminaries by young Malaysian player Tze Yong Ng. World No. 5 Tien Chen Chou and world No. 2 Jonatan Christie were eliminated in the first round. Young shuttler Shifeng Li, who had never won a title above Super 100 level, capturing the decisive victory against his fellow compatriot Yuqi Shi — world No. 13 — was by far the most jaw-dropping event that occurred at the All England Open.

The start of men’s March Madness

(03/21/23 10:00am)

Whether selecting based on strategic matchups or the funniest mascots, everybody suddenly becomes a professional “bracketologist” on that second Sunday of March. To others, it's the school spirit and the energy with which these players play — talented athletes that give it their all, knowing this could be the last game of their lives. Every play is tense with college-aged kids diving for loose balls in front of millions, taking advantage of their “one shining moment.” To some, it's about the Cinderella stories, comebacks, and late drama.

Ranking the top three women’s basketball players in March Madness

(03/21/23 10:00am)

We have entered the prime time of college basketball in 2023. The National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament matchups have resulted in upset after upset, echoing the brand “March Madness” in its unpredictability. Every single bracket placed in the men’s basketball tournament was busted as Fairleigh Dickinson University historically defeated the first-seed Purdue University. With numerous unexpected victories — headlined by Florida Gulf Coast University and Toledo University — there are now only seven perfect brackets left in women’s basketball playoffs. As women’s basketball has seen a steady rise in popularity, I present my personal take on the top three women’s basketball players in this year’s March Madness tournament.
