The legend's vision world tour
The Legends' Vision World Tour is set to make its way to Canada, with all five founding legends, namely Peter Gade (DEN), Lee Chong Wei (MAS), Taufik Hidayat (INA), Lin Dan (CHN), and Lee Yong Dae (KOR), planning to travel to Canada in July. Their mission is to assist in the development of junior players and nurture future badminton stars.
Working together under the Legends' Vision initiative, the Legends aim to create a greater impact in the world of badminton. By reviewing the global game and understanding its diverse challenges, they seek to promote badminton globally and increase its popularity. Lee Chong Wei expresses their unique opportunity to accomplish this goal.
The Legends' Vision World Tour will unfold across multiple cities in Canada, with Vancouver and Toronto being the primary locations. The Legends will conduct junior clinics to bring the badminton community together and encourage inter-club collaboration. Following the clinics, a viewing party will be organized to watch the YONEX Canada Open, where juniors can invite their friends to enjoy an evening of badminton fun alongside the legends.
The tour will also make a stop in Calgary, where the legends will come together for a World Tour exhibition event during the YONEX Canada Open 2023 finals day on July 9th. In addition to the exhibition event, juniors will have the opportunity to obtain autographs, take photos with the legends, and learn about the legacy initiatives that the founding legends will leave behind in Canada. These initiatives aim to elevate Canadian juniors on the global stage.
