[Saba Sports News] Recently, Thai badminton players Sitthikom Thammasin and Rawinda Prajongjai held a traditional wedding, becoming another badminton couple to tie the knot, which has drawn significant attention from fans. Photos show Rawinda looking charming in traditional Thai attire, while Thammasin’s bald head is quite striking. The affectionate images prompted fans to leave messages of congratulations.
According to reports, Rawinda and her mixed doubles partner Jongkolphan Kititharakul were once the highest-ranked duo in the Thai national badminton team, achieving notable successes such as winning the 2021 Orleans Masters and the 2024 Thailand Open, with a highest world ranking of fifth. However, at the Paris Olympics, this Thai pair ended with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, failing to advance past the group stage. After that, Rawinda did not participate in any BWF tournaments, marking the end of her athletic career.
Due to her resemblance to Chinese star Nana Ouyang, Rawinda has garnered considerable popularity in China. In a social media poll for the “Top Ten Goddesses of the BWF,” Rawinda was nominated for three consecutive years, consistently ranking between 7th and 8th, making her a standout in the Thai badminton team.
