On March 20, the All England Open, the first top event of the 2022 badminton league season, ended the final day of competition, and only reached the two finals, and lost all of them in the final and won two runners-up. So far, since 2019, The National Feather has missed the championship for three consecutive All England Championships (not in 2021). Counting the situation of the five individual events, the men's singles of The National Feather has a talent gap and injury situation, the gap with the world is getting wider and wider, and the strongest mixed doubles has also begun to be unstable, Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping has lost twice in a row to Japan's number one combination Watanabe Yudai / Higashino Yusa, who has won the All England Mixed Doubles Championship three times.
The All England Championship has long been regarded as the top openest tournament after the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and is known as the "Little World Championship". At its peak, In 2009, It won all five individual championships. However, after entering the Cycle of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the overall strength and level of The National Feather began to decline, not only the results of the World Series were bad, but also the year-on-year regression in the All England Championships. In the 2020 All England Championships, only the women's singles and women's doubles entered the final, and in the end, they all lost and missed the championship, creating the worst result in the past 30 years.
With the advent of the global epidemic, after the end of the 2020 All England Championships, Kuniwa ended the journey of international competitions until the 2021 Tokyo Olympics were postponed for a year and returned. A year and a half of absence from the world, the national feathers have been greatly affected, but in the Tokyo Olympic Games, the results were good, winning 2 gold and 4 silver, and then won the Sudirman Cup and the Uber Cup. At the beginning of the new season, there have been no small changes in the national feather as a whole, whether it is personnel or injuries, etc., all of which are testing the national feather.
The last stop of the German Open was the debut of the international competition of the new season of the national feather, and finally performed well, ending with 2 gold and 3 silver, He Bingjiao and Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan won the women's singles and women's doubles championships respectively. However, when it came to the All England Tournament, the overall performance of the national feather was not good, and even many players appeared unwell, because it was not uncommon to withdraw and lose due to injuries and colds. In the end, only the women's doubles and mixed doubles advanced to the final, and in the final final, they both lost two consecutive sets in the Sino-Japanese showdown, and won two runners-up, equaling the worst result two years ago.
Judging from the qualifications of the German Open and the All England Championships and the final results of the competition, the men's singles of the national feathers has become the weakest single event, only two people participated, the best results are only the top 8, Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng, in the duel with the master, there is no small gap; although there are five people in the women's doubles, Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao's twin stars, but failed to continue the magic in the All England Championships, especially Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yufei, has lost to Akane Yamaguchi three times, the state is worrying.
Women's doubles Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan is still the number one combination, but the impact of injuries has affected their play, the growth of the new combination will take time; the men's doubles is facing a more severe reality, no one can stabilize in the forefront; the once proud ace event mixed doubles, now is not safe, although There is Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping in town, but these two open tournaments, they have failed to win, especially the All England Final, and the Japanese combination Ofuda Watanabe / Higashino Yusa's showdown, which is already two consecutive defeats after the Tokyo Olympics. It is expected that The National Feather will be able to start a turnaround battle in the follow-up matches.
