Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan wins the championship and is expected to usher in his own era!
On December 19, the eight-day Badminton World Championships ended in Huelva, southern Spain. In all five events, in addition to the Japanese team winning two gold medals, the remaining three championships belong to players from three different countries. Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan from China unsurprisingly won the women's doubles title, while the young Chinese men's doubles duo He Jiting/Tan Qiang finished second. In the last game of the world badminton in 2021, the Chinese badminton team sent a lineup dominated by young players, and in the context of the world badminton entering a new round of "melee", the Chinese team let go of the use of young players, and also walked in the forefront of the world.
It should be pointed out that in the two world championships of the 2021 Olympic Games and the World Championships, China is the only team that has won gold medals in both competitions, which can be described as the biggest winner of the standard. Luo Jianyou Yihei from Singapore won the men's singles championship in the end, which changed the competitive landscape of the world badminton to a certain extent.
The dust combination is more mature, and the young players are tempered
At this World Championships, the Chinese team hid Tokyo Olympic champions Chen Yufei and Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, and the 26 team members were not only young players, but also Wang Zhiyi, Li Shifeng, Liu Xuanxuan, Xia Yuting, Di Zijian, Wang Chang and other players were the standard post-00s. Therefore, from this point of view, the training team can be said to be the main purpose of the Chinese badminton team.
From the beginning, the Chinese team can be said to have only placed hopes on two pairs, namely Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan of women's doubles and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong of mixed doubles. But what is surprising is that the "IELTS Group" lost to the Hong Kong group in China in its first appearance, so that the Chinese team had to adjust its expectations for the game from the previous stage of the game, and pinned all its hopes for winning the championship on the "Fan Chen Combination".
As early as the first world championship in 2017, the "FanChen Combination" has been pinned on great hopes, and the two have reached the final as desired at the Tokyo Olympic Games. But in the case of widespread optimism, the two lost to Indonesia's Polly/Lahayu. Regrettably, the two started again, and as a result, they performed well in the Sudirman Cup and the Uber Cup, becoming the hero of the Chinese team to win the championship. The trip to Spain is, in a sense, equivalent to a "journey through the cocoon" for the two – the two need to use victory to ignite the flame of hope for their new Olympic cycle.
The Fanchen combination won the championship after 4 years and ushered in a new era
In the end, the performance of the two can be said to be remarkable, did not let any opponent take advantage, all 5 games, both won 2-0, rejected any suspense. In the final match with the South Korean combination Lee Shaoxi / Shin Seung-chan, the "domineering spirit" of the two also showed at a glance - in both games, both of them took the lead in getting 11 points, and then they were quick to win in the case of the opponent's crazy pursuit of points or even overtaking, and finally completely extinguished the light of hope of the other party. Obviously, after experiencing the pain of Tokyo, the two not only showed more initiative on the field and were full of desire to win, but also showed more maturity in the course of the game. These two players, who are also 24 years old, are expected to usher in their own era.
At the same time, the performance of China's young players is also worthy of full recognition. Although the men's doubles team of Ho Ji Ting / Tan Qiang lost the match 0-2 in the final, the Japanese duo of Ho Kito Lo and Yugo Kobayashi was obviously suppressed, but along the way, the two youngsters won consecutive victories over Malaysia and Denmark, and the overall performance was satisfactory. Also worth affirming, there are men's singles Lu Guangzu, Li Shifeng and Zhao Junpeng, although the three Chinese players are all defeated by Indian players, but this is after all their "first appearance" in the world championships, there is no need to be demanding. In the case that Chen Long is bound to gradually withdraw due to age reasons, and Shi Yuqi's desire to compete is elusive, it is definitely a realistic move for the Chinese men's singles to let go and train new people.
Zhang Yiman can look forward to the future
The women's singles zhang Yiman won the bronze medal in her first world championships, which is quite gratifying, not to mention that she eliminated the world champion Indanon in the eight-in-four competition. Although Zhang Yiman lost to Akane Yamaguchi in the semi-finals, her performance in the competition was satisfactory, after all, the latter was suddenly in a heroic state after the Tokyo Olympics, and even had a record of defeating Chen Yufei.
The cold door is exploding, and the world feather world has entered the "era of melee"
Badminton competitions are inevitable, but it is still rare for someone like this World Championship to be "unpopular" as soon as it comes up. Men's singles Olympic champion Arcelong and mixed doubles world champion Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong both encountered "Waterloo" as soon as they appeared, and such a result must have exceeded all expectations. Singapore's Luo Jianyou, who has been "making a cold", finally reached the final and won 2-0 in the match with India's famous Stekanri, winning the first badminton world championship in history for Singapore, which can be described as the standard "one black to the end". The Malaysian-born Chinese player, who had a record of defeating Lin Dan in 2019 and is now also a sparring partner for Arcelor, this historic victory will not only change the pattern of the world badminton, but also change his own destiny.
Luo Jianyou went black to the end and changed the pattern of the feather altar
Looking at this World Championship, if you want to sum it up in one word, then the most appropriate word should be "melee". Because of the collective withdrawal of the Indonesian team, the high hanging free card of China's three Olympic champions, coupled with the withdrawal of the two main players of Japan Momota Kendou and Okuhara, this World Championship naturally gives young players more opportunities. In fact, from the beginning of the "cold explosion", to the young players in the process from time to time to sing the protagonist, and then to the final gold medal "five points and four families", all prove this battle. In terms of calculation, in addition to Japan occupying three places in the final of this World Championship, China occupying two seats, Chinese Taipei, South Korea, India, Thailand and Singapore each occupying one seat, which is also a rare situation in the world badminton world in recent years.
This kind of "scuffle" in the world badminton world can actually be seen from the time of the Tokyo Olympic Games - although the Chinese team has entered the final in all 5 individual events, and even won the mixed doubles championship and runner-up, but in the end it only won two of the gold medals, and the other three gold medals belonged to Denmark, Indonesia and Chinese Taipei, which is also the most dispersed gold medal in recent Olympic Games.
Combined with the trend of the 5 gold medals in this World Championship, we can also find that although the Japanese team that did not have a gold medal in the Olympic Games became the "biggest winner", it also only had 2 golds, and the other 3 golds belonged to China, Thailand and Singapore respectively. Comparing the two, it can be found that only Chinese badminton teams have gold medals in these two competitions in 2021, which is also a phenomenon that is quite rare in the world badminton world in recent years.
Akane Yamaguchi was suddenly in a state of great courage after the Olympics
The "scuffle" of the world badminton actually gives young people more opportunities to create unpopular surprises, and in terms of letting go of the use of youth, the Chinese badminton team can be said to be also in front of the world. It is not unreasonable for Chinese badminton to become the biggest winner of badminton in the world in 2021...
