On February 16, Beijing time, heavy news came from south Korean badminton that South Korean badminton coach Jiang Jingzhen has continued to sign a contract with the Chinese badminton team and will continue to coach the Chinese women's doubles. It is understood that along with the former coach of the South Korean national team Choi Min-ho, he will coach the national feather men's doubles. At present, the two have left the Korean team to join the Chinese badminton team.
According to South Korean badminton, after the end of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, South Korean coach Jiang Jingzhen planned to return to China, but was retained by the head coach of national badminton Zhang Jun. Jiang Jingzhen initially refused, but Zhang Jun was embarrassed. In this regard, Jiang Jingzhen said that after proposing the conditions attached to Cui Minhao, the two sides reached a renewal of the contract.
In this way, the national doubles entered the Paris Olympic cycle, south Korean coach Kang Kyung-jin continued to coach the national women's doubles, and South Korean coach Choi Min-ho began to coach the national men's doubles. In addition, South Korean coach Yoo Yong-sung has traveled to India to start his coaching career in the Indian badminton team. Jiang Jingzhen is the first foreign coach of Chinese badminton, who has been coaching since 2019, and he has previously trained Olympic champions Lee Longda, Yoo Yeon-sung, Gao Sung-hyun, Shin Baek-cheol and other doubles champions in South Korea.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese badminton coaching staff has been exploring, especially in doubles. As we all know, doubles not only pays attention to personal strength, but also requires tacit understanding and cooperation between the two sides. Whoever can take the lead in guiding the best partner can deploy earlier and usher in the next Paris Olympic Points Race.
After the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the national doubles entered an eventful autumn, and the main players Li Junhui, Han Chengkai, Li Yinhui and others chose to retire due to injuries. The coaching staff of Guoyu was forced to choose temporary partners in the Su Cup and Tang You Cup matches, and the effect was average. It is hoped that with the addition of the two Korean coaches, the competitiveness of the national doubles can be further improved.
At present, the national featherweight player He Jiting began to partner Zhou Haodong, Tan Qiang partnered Ren Xiangyu, Liu Yuchen partnered With Ou Xuanyi, and Olympic champion Zhang Nan re-partnered Liu Cheng to impact the Paris Olympic Games. It can be said that the national doubles, especially the men's doubles, have reached the stage of letting go of a fight, fighting a battle, and having to fight. At present, the national featherweight players are in winter training, preparing for the next European Open test.
