On March 22, the 2022 BWF Tour Super 300 Swiss Open will officially kick off, but just this morning there was a news that the Chinese badminton team has collectively withdrawn! According to the previous registration situation, the national feathers are all the main players, including Olympic champions Chen Yufei, Wang Yilu, Huang Dongping, and world champions Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan. However, judging from the latest five individual signing tables, the position of the original national feather team members has become a player from other countries and regions who have made up for the competition, so it further confirms the news of the withdrawal of the national feather.
Since the end of the World Championships at the end of last year, the whole team of Guoyu has transferred to Chengdu Shuangliu Base for winter training preparations, and during the winter training period of more than two months, Guoyu has carried out important doubles reorganization, adjustment of the coaching staff and other arrangements, and the European series in March has been taken as a new journey to return to the World Series. In order to better help the team members compete in international competitions and earn enough points, the Chinese Badminton Association has made a bold innovation, setting up an overseas training camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as a transit station for the national badminton army in foreign non-competition periods, until the end of the World Championships in Japan in August this year, and then returning to China to prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games.
The German Open and the All England Open, which ended in the first two weeks, performed generally well. As a Super 300 German event, The National Feather finally won 2 gold and 3 silver, winning the championship in the women's singles and women's doubles competitions; turning to the higher level of the Super 1000 All England Competition, the overall performance of the National Feather was not good, and finally only two individual events entered the final, and both lost, once again missing all 5 individual championships, only won the women's doubles and mixed doubles two runners-up. Putting aside the results of the competition, from the course of the competition, we can see that many members of the national feather team have physical discomfort, and colds and injuries have enveloped the whole team.
At the All England Open, many members of the national team chose to retire, including Zhang Yiman, He Bingjiao, Lu Guangzu and other singles players, while Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan encountered a round of travel in the women's doubles competition, and in the post-match interview, Jia Yifan revealed that he had a cold, and Chen Qingchen strained his thigh and played with illness. In addition, during the German Open and the All England Open, many foreign players have been diagnosed, including Thai women's singles player Ratchano and Indonesian men's singles player Jonathan.
The runner-up in the women's singles of the All England Competition, South Korea's talented girl An Jieying, also announced the diagnosis after the game, so it seems that the risk coefficient of overseas competitions is indeed too high. Therefore, the decision of The National Feather to collectively withdraw from the Swiss Open is also a correct choice, for the safety of the players, give time to rest and adjust, and play the next stage of the Korean Series.
