The 2021 Badminton World Championships continued in Spain, and after the first round of the national championships' biggest hope zheng siwei and Huang Yaqiong were out, the team fell into the curse of losing. But it is gratifying that a few small flowers in the women's singles ushered in the highlight moments of their careers at this World Championships. Even in the absence of women's singles Olympic champion Chen Yufei, they still sang and advanced in the women's singles arena. Han Yue, known as "Little Xie Xingfang", has successfully reached the top 8 of the women's singles in this competition. Zhang Yiman, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, was also eye-catching, in the women's singles quarterfinals, she relied on her strong offensive firepower to defeat Kim Jia Eun and reach the women's singles quarterfinals of the World Championships for the first time in her career.
The emergence of two women's singles flowers made fans exclaim "national feather women's singles reproduce the golden generation"! This badminton world championship, from the previous few match days, the national feathers almost collapsed, especially the men's doubles and mixed doubles, and it was "killed" in their respective half areas early. The demoralized Chinese team, in order to turn the crisis into safety at the most critical moment, urgently needs the players to stand up and help the team boost morale. What everyone did not expect was that what became the "life-saving straw" of the whole team was the most undesirable women's singles before the game.
What is even more rare is that the two are also the new generation of players who have competed in the three international competitions for the first time. In the women's singles quarterfinals, Han Yue defeated Canada's famous Li Wenshan in two sets to help the national women's singles to save their hopes of competing for the gold medal. Han Yue is a newcomer to the Chinese team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, and she is tall and arm-length, and she was listed as a key training object by the coaching team as soon as she entered the national team. Her body conditions and playing style characteristics are very similar to former world champion Xie Xingfang, so many fans are looking forward to her reaching the heights of her predecessors in the future.
And Zhang Yiman's performance was even more than the coach expected. After Chen Yufei's absence due to injury, Zhang Yiman received more attention. She beat Kim Jae-eun in straight sets in the Round of 16 to reach the women's singles quarterfinals of the World Championships for the first time. This result made her happy, she said in an interview, before the game she did not expect to enter the quarterfinals, because it is the first time to board such a big stage as the World Championships, the level of the participating players is very high, the coach set a goal for her is to win a game, go all out to fight the opponent. After entering the quarterfinals, Zhang Yiman may also bring surprises to everyone.
At this World Championship, The bad results of The National Feather have been questioned by many parties, and even some media people have sarcastically said that "the good performance of the National Feather in the Olympic Games, the Sudirman Cup and the Uber Cup is just a help of luck." With the bloom of the two small flowers of the women's singles, the Chinese team will sweep away the haze and completely release it in the subsequent games regardless of the results. Through the experience of the World Championships, several newcomers to the national women's singles made everyone full of confidence in the Paris Olympic Games. As Xia Xuanze said, "Chen Yufei has helpers, and not one, but several"!
