Last week, the BCR team was privileged to welcome back to Sydney two outstanding badminton players, Amonrat Alicia Ferraino and Kenneth Adlawan, fresh from their Olympic qualifiers journey. We were thrilled that these two NBC stars took the time to sit down with us and recount their experiences in the Olympic qualifiers, sharing the many moments along their journey.

As we conversed, they shared how they faced each challenge step by step in the qualifiers, allowing us to vicariously experience the full spectrum of emotions entwined in their journey. Their story is not just about competitive rankings but about finding ways to grow and progress under immense pressure. Moreover, Kenneth and Amonrat expressed profound gratitude towards the BCR team, acknowledging not just the financial support but also the invaluable moral encouragement and logistical backing which were crucial in allowing them to focus on their training and competitions. BCR’s support has been a steadfast backbone for them at every moment of their fight for their goals.

Just as we go to press, great news has again emerged from Melbourne. Kenneth Adlawan has achieved remarkable success at the recently concluded 2024 Australian National Para Badminton Championships, securing the gold medal in the men’s SL3 singles and a silver in the men’s doubles!

Similarly, Amonrat Alicia Ferraino demonstrated her resilience and determination at the same event, earning a silver medal in the women’s SL3 singles! The exceptional talent and indomitable spirit of both athletes have made them shine on the field.

BCR is proud to support the dream-chasing journey of Kenneth and Amonrat and is thrilled by their stellar achievements. For the BCR team, this sponsorship is more than just funding—it is an inspiring journey that holds significance and value for everyone involved. BCR remains committed to supporting sports and the development of athletes, hoping to continue being a strong partner for many more athletes on their path to dreams.

We hope the stories shared by the athletes will inspire each of us to continue forging ahead on our respective paths. Congratulations once again to Kenneth and Amonrat! BCR looks forward to witnessing more of your spectacular performances in future competitions!
