I think it was the Indonesian people's choice (vote) that they were awarded Athlete of the year. Seems like they don't mind the way he have been representing their nation.
Believe me, if you had known how the "elite" and "high class" people behave in Indonesia especially for the past few months, I don't think they would think less of Kevin's childish behavior. He is harmless, adorable, well-behaved and actually very respectful in comparison
I am not going to ask him to stop fooling around completely but I hope he (and Marcus) would be more matured emotionally. I can't ask the opponents to not do anything to annoy him either. Definitely no getting too emotional on court, no thumb down gesture, etc.
Anyway, if anything from this video would get Kevin's attention and to reflect, I bet it would be his behavior after 09:16 lol![]()
Unfortunately I don’t know enough Indonesia and Indonesians but it’s interesting. Went to Bali in 2016 for a few weeks but didn’t know a thing about badminton at the time (I know I know...) but I felt like locals often made a point to show their difference between being Balinese and “other” Indonesians and I don’t recall seeing much badminton centers or shops if any. More football activities.
Anyhow there’s nohing catastrophic about Kevin SS’ behaviour, it’s just some funny/weird attitude here and there and I’m sure off court he means no harms to anyone. May be that’s how he deals with the intensity of a professional match. Some shout, some hush, he clowns around
