[新聞]吳俊明9月6日宣誓正式成為美國公民


吳俊明舉起右手在美國聯邦法院宣誓成為美國公民.         @LA Times

 由印尼移民美國的羽球選手吳俊明於9月6日在洛杉磯市中心的Roybal聯邦大樓的六樓, 在法官Carla M. Woehrle 的見證下, 宣誓成為效忠美國的美國公民. 他目前唯一的目標就是希望能夠代表國家出征倫敦奧運.

 在六個月前, 公民身份對吳俊明來說只是他爭取泛美錦標賽及奧運資格的一個工具而已. 但是在今天的宣誓儀式之後, 他在離開聯邦大樓, 坐在人行道的水泥長椅時, 他坦承,

 "其實我期待這一刻已經很久了", 他的情緒明顯比他的言辭強烈許多. "我非常幸運能夠得到這個留在美國, 在美國工作的機會, 在這裡建立屬於我的家庭."

 "其實這實在是非常幸運. 當我在印尼時, 我從未想過會有今天這一刻, 對我來說, 這實在意義重大."

 在他獲得美國公民身份之後, 就有資格和搭檔白國豪參加下個月的泛美洲冠軍錦標賽, 他們將去衛冕四年前白國豪與另一位搭檔贏得的男雙冠軍. 其次是明年代表美國參加倫敦奧運.

 對吳俊明來說, 奧運金牌及世界冠軍金牌並不是他首要的目標, 他已經有一面奧運男雙金牌及兩面世界冠軍金牌, 他的新目標就是提振羽球運動在美國的知名度. 在美國, 羽球只是平常人家在後院裡的休閒活動而已.

 除了吳俊明之外, 還有一位人士也很積極地想要提升羽球運動在美國的知名度, 他就是前美國羽協主席 Don Chow, 這位現年70歲的泰國移民, 他在過去15年裡花了650萬美元來協助美國羽球運動. 他是美國公開賽的主辦單位加州橘郡羽球俱樂部(OCBC)的老闆, 650萬美元的近半數都拿來興建OCBC羽球館.

 這是美國境內最棒的羽球館, 也是世界頂級的球館之一, 12面球場都是由丹麥櫸木板鋪成, 為了減少地面對運動員膝蓋的衝擊, 木板底下還鋪上兩吋的護墊. 為了不讓空調系統的氣流影響羽球的飛行, Don Chow還自己為球館設計通風系統.

 但是 Don Chow對羽球運動的狂熱, 也導致他與美國奧委會的之間關係緊張. Don Chow為何如此熱衷羽球運動, 因為他認為羽球運動救了他的性命. 他自承在年輕時是個壞小子, 也曾加入幫派, 但是他在投入羽球運動之後, 他完全戒除菸酒, 生命開始轉變.
