I still remember feeling a thrill of excitement when walking into the Susi Susanti Sports Hall in Indonesia; the former Olympic badminton champion isn’t a household name in Britain but as one of the greatest female badminton players ever – and one of my heroes growing up as an aspiring badminton player – she was a big deal to me.
It’s why walking into her eponymous sports hall meant a lot more to me than walking into a generically-named facility would ever mean.
