The Paris Olympic cycle has officially begun, and for the Chinese badminton team, the pressure of the new cycle is no less than that of the Tokyo cycle, especially in the men's singles and men's doubles events, and it is even more exhausting. Although the badminton of the Paris Olympic Games will produce 5 gold medals, from the reality of the situation, the Chinese team only has the strength to compete for the championship in three events. After discussion by the coaching staff of the national feather, the doubles configuration of the 2024 Paris Olympic cycle has been revealed.
As everyone had previously speculated, zheng siwei and Huang Yaqiong, former world number one and runners-up of the Tokyo Olympic Games, were split, although it was difficult for many fans to accept it for a while, but the IELTS combination became a matter of the past. For Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong, many people's first impression is a combination of male and female beauty and immortals. Unexpectedly, the Tokyo Olympics became the last song of the duo. Throughout the Tokyo cycle, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong almost beat the invincible hand in the world, and the world ranking always occupied the top spot. The two are affectionately called "IELTS combination" by fans, Zheng Siwei is handsome and mature, while Huang Yaqiong is gentle and beautiful and has deep skills.
From the Asian Championships, the World Championships, the All England Championships, to the Sudirman Cup, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong have always been the mainstays of the national feathers. Starting in 2018, the duo became the world's number one mixed doubles pair and kept the advantage until the Tokyo Olympics. Before the Original Olympic Games, the outside world almost one-sidedly believed that Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong would win the first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal of their careers at the Tokyo Olympic Games. But perhaps even they themselves did not expect that this Olympic Games was the beginning of their walking down the altar. In the mixed doubles final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the script is as usual, and the opponents of Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong are another pair of Guoyu, Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping.
Judging from the previous record of the confrontation, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong have the absolute upper hand, and even the former Olympic men's doubles champion Cai Yun believes that the IELTS combination will achieve a Grand Slam in Tokyo. After three rounds of bitter fighting, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong regretted that they were defeated by Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping, and rubbed shoulders with the Olympic gold medal. On the podium, the IELTS group held back tears to receive the silver medal, and this scene also became the most painful scene of this Olympic Games. After the Shaanxi National Games, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong still failed to break the spell of the runner-up, and it was still Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping who defeated them. After the Sudirman Cup, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong chose to rest for a while and make a comeback at the World Championships.
Due to not participating in international events for a long time, the two accidentally encountered a round trip, and this failure also became the fuse for the two to break up. Previously, Zheng Siwei said after the Olympic defeat that he would still fight side by side with Huang Yaqiong and strive to recover the lost ground at the Paris Olympic Games. But now, with the two of them tearing apart, that dream has come to naught. And the IELTS combination that the majority of fans have loved for a long time will also become eternal. What do you think about the disintegration of Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong?
