Beijing time on January 25 news, in order to better develop the new cycle and the growth of young people, the national doubles team ushered in a major reshuffle in early 2022. It is reported that the former mixed doubles world number one Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong combination will be dismantled, while the women's doubles ace Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan will be retained.
Previously, there were media reports that the Mixed Doubles Silver Medalist Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong of the Tokyo Olympic Games would dismantle the team, which was recently confirmed by the guidance of Yang Ming, the head coach of the mixed doubles of the national feather. Yang Ming said that the IELTS combination is a temporary challenge based on the team plan, and in the next few games, the two will try to form a new combination with the young players.
The IELTS team was officially formed in November 2017, and since then in 2018 the two have won 11 titles, including the World Championships and the Asian Games. In the 2019 season, the two won the Titles of the All England Open, the Malaysian Open and the Finals, and defended the World Championship.
The IELTS duo, which had high hopes, lost to teammates Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping twice at last year's Tokyo Olympics and National Games, and the two have since withdrawn from major competitions such as the Sudirman Cup and the World Championships. The dismantling of the two is not unexpected, and the dismantling of the two is only a temporary adjustment, and it is still possible to recombine in the future.
In addition to the IELTS combination being dismantled, other doubles combinations have also undergone considerable adjustments. In the women's doubles, the Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan combination was retained, Liu Xuanxuan and Xia Yuting teamed up, Du Yue partnered Li Wenmei, and Zheng Yu was paired with Zhang Shuxian. In the men's doubles, Zhang Nan and Liu Cheng, two veterans, re-partnered and joined hands to impact the Paris Olympics. After Li Junhui retires, Liu Yuchen will partner Ou Xuanyi to form a new twin tower. The World Championship runner-up combination of Tan Qiang/He Jiting was taken apart, tan Qiang's new partner was Ren Xiangyu, and He Jiting would partner Zhou Haodong.
