According to the provisions of the World Badminton Federation, each individual event and each association can get up to four team members or four pairs of combinations to participate, whether the full amount is related to the world ranking of the team members, in the order of the world ranking in turn, if there are team members who refuse to participate, they are replaced by the team members behind the ranking, through the list of participants released by the Chinese Badminton Association, the national feather has three singles in this year's World Championships, men's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, which is not fully participated, which is compared with the five singles of the last World Championships, the total number of participants has decreased, of course, This is also related to the fact that some of the main players choose to withdraw from the competition.
In the men's singles, the core main force of the national feather Chen Long and Shi Yuqi do not participate, Chen Long as a veteran previously in the Olympic Games and the National Games continuously fought, he personally chose to rest and accompany his family, this year will not participate in any event, and Shi Yuqi is because of the recurrence of injuries in this year's Thomas Cup competition, not healed at present, personal physical condition does not support participation, but also with the absence of Chen Long and Shi Yuqi, this year's World Championships National Feather will not have a male singles seeded player, very rare, However, Li Shifeng, who has risen this year, has qualified for the competition, and how he will perform is a big point of view.
In the women's singles, this year's Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yufei chose to withdraw from the competition, unexpectedly, there has been no injury situation before, the withdrawal is a bit sudden, but considering the intensive domestic and foreign events in the second half of the year, Chen Yufei as a female single sister frequently plays, physical exertion is indeed very large, and the domestic epidemic prevention measures are also very strict, every time they go abroad there is a long period of isolation, lack of systematic training, withdrawal is also excusable, and in addition to Chen Yufei, other women's singles main forces, He Bingjiao and Wang Zhiyi will participate as scheduled.
In terms of doubles, the list of participants also has many unexpected, the men's doubles are the lineup before the Olympic Games, but we know that in this year's Thomas Cup competition, the national feather men's doubles have mostly been reorganized, but because the new combination of world rankings is too low to participate, so it still follows the previous pairing method, which is also a test, the women's doubles, led by the national feathers is also the number one seed of this year's World Championships Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, and Li Yinhui and Du Yue, who participated in this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, do not participate, mixed doubles Olympic champions Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping also did not participate, and Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong, who are currently ranked no. 1 in the world, will impact the three consecutive world championships.
In general, this year's badminton world championships national feathers did not send the strongest lineup to participate, more to train young players, but also to better prepare for the Paris Olympic Games three years later, the last world championships national feathers only won a mixed doubles gold medal, the results are not ideal, although most of the main players in this year's World Championships did not participate, but the rookies who qualified for the competition have made significant progress in the past year, we are full of confidence in them, and we hope that the national feathers can achieve good results in this year's World Championships.
