A few days ago, the Chinese Badminton Association officially issued a notice of competition for each individual head coach, which mentioned that in addition to the women's doubles, the other four individual head coaches of the national badminton team need to compete for the post. It is reported that the head coach of the national badminton women's doubles is still the former head coach of the South Korean badminton national team, Jiang Jingzhen, who led the team for two years after the national badminton team, the original contract expired, but under the warm invitation of Zhang Jun of the Chinese Badminton Association, he will continue to cooperate for a cycle and lead the Chinese women's doubles to impact the gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games. Recently, the South Korean media exposed Kang Kyung-jin's salary to coach Guo Yu, which reached 1 billion won (about 5.27 million yuan) in three years, which was three times his previous team in South Korea.
During the Tokyo Olympic Games cycle, in order to solve the problems of each individual event, Kuniwa once reorganized the coaching team and recruited a number of outstanding coaches at home and abroad, including Lee Spear, the men's singles coach who had coached Li Zongwei, and jiang Jingzhen, a former South Korean badminton coach. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Kuniwa could not participate in international competitions for up to a year and a half, which affected the preparation plan of the entire team, and finally at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Kuniwa won silver medals in men's singles and women's doubles, missing out on the gold medal.
The progress and achievements of the national feather women's doubles are obvious to all, the world's first combination "Fan Chen" Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan after making a breakthrough, once fell into a trough, but after the South Korean foreign teacher Jiang Jingzhen coached, they gradually recovered, in addition to another pair of du Yue / Li Yinhui also grew rapidly, the two pairs of the world competition with the Japanese multi-pair combination, and achieved a big breakthrough. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan defeated the Japanese combination one after another to enter the final, regrettably losing to the Indonesian combination Polly/Lahayu and winning the silver medal; at the World Championships at the end of last year, the two joined hands to win the women's doubles world championship, proving that the national women's doubles still has a certain strength in the world badminton world.
It is reported that after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Contract of Korean Foreign Teachers expired, and he wanted to return to South Korea to reunite with his family. However, in the following period of time, Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, made a fight and persuaded Jiang Jingzhen to return to China to coach for a cycle, after all, the previous Tokyo Olympic Games cycle was greatly affected by the epidemic, and the ability of foreign teachers was not maximized. Therefore, Guoyu's expectation for South Korea's foreign teachers is to lead the team to the women's doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
In addition to Kang Kyung-jin, there is also a South Korean coach Choi Min-ho who joined the national team coaching staff, he has previously led the South Korean national team men's doubles, so in the future will assist the national men's doubles coaching team to enhance the strength of the men's doubles. On the issue of Jiang Jingzhen's salary, according to the exclusive exposure of the South Korean media "Sports Seoul", the Chinese side is quite sincere, signing a three-year salary of 1 billion won, which is 3 times more than when Jiang Jingzhen was the coach of the South Korean team. Therefore, in the face of such an attractive salary, Jiang Jingzhen agreed to the invitation and arrived in China on February 10 this year to return to the National Badminton Training Base to prepare for the new season.
