The presence of Pablo Abian is very unique. He represents Spain in the
world badminton circuits. The one man show has proven a worthwhile
struggle to rise the flag of badminton in his country.
It is likely not many people put badminton as one of the most favorite sports in Spain. The domination of football, the illuminarious Rafael Nadal in tennis and Lorenzo's as well as Alonso's popularity in autosports are among the top news. Even, most Spaniards perhaps prefer watching bull fighting to badminton.

This season he has made a good progress. In addition to his International Challenge titles, he progressed better in the Superseries and Grand Prices. Abian is likely more familiar to play top seeded shuttlers like Sho Sasaki, Simon Santoso, or Lee Hyung-il.
"The King of International Challenge" may be a suitable address for his wonderful run through the 2011 season even though he could only win a quarter of the total events of the year. To add his distinguished achievement, Abian is a Spaniard, a country where badminton is not the favorite sport. His much better run must be expected by many of his fans in 2012 season. 2011. But this record was good enough to put him as the most winning shuttlers in the season's men's singles division. He won the title in Sweden, Poland, Morocco, Maldives, and Italy. Abian did better than the Pole's ace Przemyslaw Wacha (the IC winner in Brazil, Czech, and Bulgaria).
