Mia Audina is now sponsored by Yonex

[fishmilk]

I was just looking at the Players section of Yonex International, and noticed the addition of Mia Audina, she is now sponsored by Yonex and uses MP88. Maybe that's why she's feeling on the top of her game at the Olympics ;) :rolleyes: :D Is this switch an OBLIGATION because she is now representing Netherland? Or is it just the player got sold out?

I think it's great that Yonex sponsors Mia. In Holland it's nearly impossible to make a decent living as a pro badminton player. If you've got a sponsor with a big wallet backing you, you can fully concentrate on your sport. I don't think it's a matter of selling out. If another company offers you the same job with a bigger pay check, would you turn it down?
