PARIS (TVBS News) — Fans of Taiwanese badminton ace Tai Tzu-ying (戴資穎) have shown immense support as she competes in her Olympic matches in Paris, with some traveling to the French capital, spending over NT$100,000 on tickets and accommodation to watch her play in her last appearance at the Olympics.
A fan explained, "I hope she can finish the competition successfully and leave the Games with good memories."
Fans also wished Tai to maintain her usual positive spirit on the court. One supporter remarked, "No matter how far you reach, we will cheer for you until the end."
