Xiao Dai was so crazy that he challenged a half marathon after having surgery on both knees. He was so excited to announce that the finish time was revealed.

Tai Tzu-ying, the former world queen "Little Dai" who is well-known in the badminton world, bid farewell to professional badminton and started a new chapter in sports. She successfully completed her first half-marathon (21 kilometers) at the "Hyundai Lisbon Half Marathon" in Portugal yesterday (11th) in 2 hours, 13 minutes and 17 seconds.

Don’t underestimate this half-marathon. Tai Tzu-ying has been competing on the court for many years, and her knees have suffered from old and new injuries. She has also undergone left and right knee surgeries and long-term rehabilitation. Therefore, her completion of this half-marathon is not only a major breakthrough in Tai Tzu-ying’s sports career, but also represents a milestone for her to get over the pain and regain the joy of sports.

This Lisbon half marathon attracts more than 7,800 runners, and participants must travel from Vasco. Da. Starting from the Gama Bridge, we pass through downtown Lisbon and finally arrive at the Commercial Plaza. Putting on the running shoes, Tai Tzu Ying's sports spirit began to burn again. She ran 21.0975 kilometers as an ordinary runner. After the race, she happily showed off her finisher medal engraved with "TZU YING TAI" and "02:13:17". She showed the excitement of a little girl and said happily: "I did it!!!! I completed the half marathon!!!!"

Tai Tzu Ying had undergone left and right knee surgeries and long-term rehabilitation before officially retiring in 2025. Now she can challenge the half marathon. She is very happy to say: "A non-runner ran 21 kilometers. After having two knees operated on, I can run again. I am really happy!!" However, the former world queen has high self-demands, and she feels that there is still room for improvement in her performance.

From the world champion to a half-marathon finisher, Tai Tzu Ying faced her half-marathon result and left a frank comment on the social platform: "Although it is not very fast, I am very satisfied."
