[Saba Sports News] Recently, Taiwanese badminton player Wang Chi-Lin shared behind-the-scenes moments from his wedding on social media, attracting significant attention from fans. According to Wang Chi-Lin, he and his groomsmen experienced a range of “sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy” moments before the wedding, to the point where their facial expressions became uncontrollable, turning them into meme-worthy reactions. The heartwarming scenes prompted many fans to leave comments, with some jokingly teasing Wang Chi-Lin that even as an Olympic champion, he still had to bow down in front of the bridesmaids.
Wang Chi-Lin, who is about to turn 31 in a month, is a male doubles badminton player. In 2018, he began partnering with Lee Yang, and the duo quickly made a name for themselves on the World Badminton Federation tour. At the Tokyo Olympics, they surprisingly reached the finals and defeated the Chinese pair Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen, securing the first Olympic gold medal in history for the Taiwan badminton team.
In 2022, their world ranking peaked at second, but since then, it has gradually declined, and even as defending champions, they were not expected to perform well at the Paris Olympics. However, this pair always seems to excel during the Olympics, and this time they reached the finals again, successfully defending their men’s doubles gold medal.
Records show that Wang Chi-Lin’s wife, Chen Shih-Yuan, is part of the entertainment industry; she was a member of the idol group TPE48 and is the captain of the girl group 5TEAM. The height difference between them exceeds 30 centimeters, earning them the nickname “cutest height difference” among fans.
