Richmond's ClearOne Badminton Centre enjoyed a record-breaking performance at the Canadian Championships -- capturing 10 medals, two more than the province of Ontario and four more than powerhouse Quebec.

"The nationals have firmly established Richmond as the center of badminton in Canada and likely the continent," said ClearOne Badminton president Bobby Milroy. "Without question, Canada's Olympic hopes for 2012 are to be found in this city."

The impressive showing was led by Derrick Ng and Adrian Liu, who dominated mens doubles to win gold.

"After this week, I believe more than ever that we will be representing Richmond in the London 2012 Olympic Games," said Liu. "We achieved a new level this weekend."

ClearOne also received silver medals from Joyce Ko, who recently moved from Ontario to Richmond in search of a better training atmosphere, as well as Phyllis Chan and Christin Tsai in the ladies doubles.

At just 15, Tsai is the youngest ever woman to win a silver medal at the Nationals and appears a shoe-in for the 2016 Olympics.

"She's the best I have ever seen," says Darryl Yung, Head Coach and CEO of ClearOne Badminton. "Her potential is not just Olympic ... it's podium."

The ClearOne Badminton Centre has been in operation for eight years and oversees 33 badminton courts in the Lower Mainland.

The club is currently hosting most of the national Olympic track team as well as the Junior national team, scheduled to compete at the World Championships in Taiwan later this year.
