Are you familiar with badminton?
Played it as a kid. Setiawan is a fantastic player. What is it about him that makes him your favorite athlete?
His skill on the net area is the best, and his calmness too. I also love that he plays against players that are on average a decade younger than him, and still is the World no.2.
Well you have to give credit to Kido too, right?
Of course, but Kido already retired since a long time ago. Setiawan play with Ahsan now, and still going strong. 
What do you think about Lee Chong Wei?
For men single player, LCW is my favorite (my mom's too). His rivalry with Lin Dan is always something to be excited about. Do you prefer LCW or Lin Dan?
Well I kind of like Li Dan. But he's fading now. LCW is tops, for sure. Do you go to tournaments?
 It's too expensive for me. I went to one in Jakarta once, it was awesome. How about you?
Never, but I bet they're exciting to watch. Any really good US players? 
Really good, no. Badminton is not popular here. The best one is Beiwen Zhang, highest rank 9 on women single, and only became US citizen after representing the US for 7 years.
