Paris Olympics
Blake Hawkins was lucky enough to go to the Paris Olympics, where he met Ginting and Alfian of Indonesia.
Badminton in the Philippines
Blake Hawkins spent a month in the Philippines over December and January and was lucky enough to be able to play at provincial club Tinuy An Falls BC. The standard in the area is extremely high, with juniors queuing around the hall with their pocket money just to be able to play for half an hour. Games are held late in the evening due to the heat and humidity.
Blake was lucky enough to also enter a local competition, and had a superb overall experience.
