one story i heard was that when wang wen was new to canada and went to check out a club, someone who is very good wanna test or challenge wang wen. Since he didnt bought any racket with him, someone offered him a crappy metal (likely steel) racket with wore out grip. At one point, wang's racket hand was all raw and bleeding. (this part i'm not sure, he got some cloth and wrap the handle and resume playing the match). He eventually did beat the challenger. If u see wang, ask him for the full story.

back then, his casual shoes were prolly running shoes. His true badminton shoes are those chinese style with green soles, He won the nationals with chinese style bad. shoes. U dunno how do he is. He can play very good with t-shirt and pants on.
