However, the twilight of Nguyen’s career has to be the Tokyo Olympics. Although the Irish shuttler did not finish at the podium, he put Irish badminton on the world stage. Subsequently, the Irish shuttler has shown tremendous promise at the ongoing Hylo Open. Naturally, Ireland will be hoping that Nguyen continues this form in the Paris Olympics as well.

Nhat, sponsored by an International Olympic Committee scholarship for Team Ireland, started playing badminton after emigrating to Ireland from Vietnam at the age of six. By 15, he had claimed the European Under-17 championship and also secured his first adult championship in Ireland.

International Career

Nhat Nguyen has made a name for himself as a major young star in Europe, and at the Welsh International, he showed why he’s the one to keep an eye on. He clinched the men’s singles title impressively. On the event’s final day, which was Saturday, European players dominated, winning three of the matchups and stepping onto the victory podium four times. Irish player Nguyen, just 17 years old and ranked 7th at the start, proved his rank didn’t quite match his skill. He overcame India’s Karan Rajan Rajarajan, the 3rd seed, in the quarterfinals. Then in the nail-biting final, he outplayed the experienced R M V Gurusaidutt from India, who had past success at the India Open and a silver from the Commonwealth Games, with scores of 21-16, 23-21.

He triumphed in the men’s singles at the National Indoor Arena, part of the Sport Ireland Campus. After securing the first game at 21-13, Nguyen appeared to be at a disadvantage when Lanier surged ahead with an 18-13 lead in game two.

He wrapped up the match with a 21-19 win in the second game and celebrated by joyfully tossing his T-shirt to the fans.
