From February 15 to 22, the 2022 Asian Badminton Team Championships will be held in Shah Lan, Malaysia, as one of the highest level of team events in the Asian region, and the Asian Team Championship will become the qualification tournament for this year's Toyo Cup event. However, unfortunately, due to the epidemic, Guoyu did not register for the competition, and the main teams such as Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia all signed up to participate. Among them, Indonesia will be the defending champion of the men's team, and Japan will play as the defending champion of the women's team. The Japanese badminton team did not send the main lineup, but the B team lineup played. Singapore, on the other hand, is led by ST World Championship champion Luo Jianyou, who will play with his brother Luo Jianxian first.
Because of the Asian Badminton Team Championship, the pressure and challenge for each team is not too high, so it is almost transformed into the Asian Badminton Youth Championship, or a confrontation match for the substitute lineup. The national feather has sent a second-tier team to play for many consecutive years, and has also won the men's and women's team championships, but in recent events, in the face of the impact of the epidemic, the national feather has also hung up the exemption card and did not play, completing the main badminton powerhouse in Asia and achieving a breakthrough in the Asian championship. This year, also because of the epidemic, the national team once again gave up the competition, even the young players, have not lined up to compete, the whole team has focused on the European season series that began in March.
Not long ago, Japan held the All Japan Badminton Championships, decided the champions of each individual event, in addition to participating in the main lineup of the World Championships, other domestic masters have competed, including the Japanese women's single sister Okuhara Hope also came back, competed in the women's singles event, and finally successfully won the women's singles championship. Judging from the national team lineup announced by Japan Badminton, the lineup of the main first team is basically based on the national team participating in the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and the winners of the national championships have become second-team players. This time, in the battle of the Asian team competition, the Japanese side sent almost all the second team lineup to fight, the purpose is very clear, that is, to train the team. Such a situation is an opportunity that Kuniyu envies.
Judging from the big list of teams that have announced the lineup so far, Singapore has basically sent a full main squad to participate, led by The ST World Championships men's singles champion Luo Jianyou, and his various Luo Jianxian have also competed, including the husband and wife combination Xu Yongkai /Chen Weihan, who recently won the Mixed Doubles Championship of the Indian Open of the BWF Super 500 series event, also played. In addition, Singapore's women's singles player Yang Jiamin also led the general to fight. Therefore, this Asian team championship tests the strength of each team, not only to cope with the impact of the epidemic, but also to test the main force and substitute lineup of each team.
