1973 China Badminton Team's Tour of Malaysia





Here are some pictures downloaded from an American Badminton Forum.These are pictures of the China and Malaysian badminton team.The pictures show a 30+ year old Tang Xian Hu playing Punch Gunalan and Tan Aik Mong.China won all matches except one ladies singles.It was remarkable considering that the China players like Tang Xian Hu and Hou Jia Chang were veterans in their 30s and had no competition for 7 years from 1966 till 1972 under Mao's Cultural Revolution.Clips of a few minutes are available for sale in ITNsource.com.
