After undergoing one week of a punishing training regime, the
national shuttlers in Bath will finally get a day off – and they will
head for a visit to the famed Oxford University today.
The team have been put through two sessions of non-stop training
daily since arriving in Bath last Thursday. This included gym, track
running and court workouts.
So much for reduced training intensity! Anyway, it’s only fitting
that the team should take a day off and visit one of the most famous
universities in the United Kingdom.
“The whole team will make a day trip to Oxford and Bicester, which is
only about two hours from Bath by bus,” said BA of Malaysia (BAM) high
performance director Wong Ah Jit via e-mail.
“Despite trying to reduce the intensity, the training has still been
quite high tempo, with the players fully focused and committed to the
cause.
“Besides, the off day will also give our two chefs – Foong Poh Wah
and Noor Badariah Badardin – a breather too. They have been cooking
non-stop since the team first arrived!
“Team spirit is also high and everyone is looking forward to the final countdown.”
The team will leave for London on Saturday.
