In addition, the All-England Super 1000 series, as an important stop for gaining points for the Paris Olympics, has recently caused heated discussions due to the color of the stadium mats. The venue rubber of this year’s All England Championship changed from the previous tradition of using green rubber and was changed to gray rubber for the first time. However, this “gray track” has attracted a lot of controversy. Some netizens questioned the contrast between the gray rubber and the white sidelines. If the sense is not strong enough, it is easy for athletes to make misjudgments when hitting the ball, and line referees are also more likely to make misjudgements. However, some people praised this move for having the courage to break through, and even said with a smile: “This is much better than the red rubber in the year-end games. Looking at the red stadium for a long time makes my eyes unbearable!”
