On November 29, Beijing time, the Chinese Badminton Association announced the list of national badminton participants in the 2021 Badminton World Championships, and surprisingly, the Olympic champions Chen Yufei and Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, who have been in excellent condition since the second half of this year, are not among them.
Chen Yufei and Huang Dongping can be said to be the biggest winners in this year's badminton world, both of them successfully won the Olympic Games in August, and at the National Games in early September, they won the women's singles and women's doubles championships. After that, the two participated in the Sudirman Cup and the Uber Cup as the main force, helping the team to win these two championships, and in a short period of time, it can be said that the world championship won the soft hand, angry with Li Zongwei, and envious of Dai Ziying.

However, too many high-intensity competitions in a short period of time also brought hidden dangers, Chen Yufei began to show fatigue in the Su Cup and Tang Cup competitions, and his state dropped significantly, and then he withdrew from many events. Although Huang Dongping later participated in the Danish competition, she also withdrew from the competition due to physical reasons.
This time both of them failed to participate in the World Championships, which is indeed a pity for fans, after all, the chance to win all the world championships in a year is the first time in the history of badminton, and both have completed more than half of them, and it may be a pity that they did not witness the miracle for many years to come. However, for athletes, it is still more important to be physical, after all, they are still young and have enough time to make history, and I believe that the badminton association also let them withdraw from the World Championships out of protection for the athletes.
In addition, Chen Long and Shi Yuqi both withdrew from the World Championships due to injury, and the men's singles was led by Lu Guangzu, who ranked 27th in the world, which may be the most "shabby" lineup in the 40-year history of the World Championships.
However, although the combination of Chen Yufei and Yellow Duck will not appear at the World Championships, the competition is equally exciting, so let's look forward to the national athletes to have an excellent performance at the World Championships.
