Paris 2024 is round the corner, and Busanan Ongbamrunphan knows she needs to keep getting better. The race for spots will be tight, for Thailand have several contenders for the two spots in women’s singles – seniors like Ratchanok Intanon, Pornpawee Chochuwong and Ongbamrungphan herself, and younger ones like Supanida Katethong and Lalinrat Chaiwan.
With that in mind, the world No.12 went independent last April, seeking training that was focussed on her.
Ongbamrungphan’s move, from the national association to Bangpho Badminton Club, is in line with recent developments in the sport, with top players establishing teams around themselves, rather than being part of a large group.
