1. Ma Jin will continue to compete in the Tokyo Olympics
After the Rio Olympics, on August 26, Ma Jin, the 2010 World Badminton Championships mixed doubles champion (with Zheng Bo) and the 2012 London Olympics mixed doubles runner-up (with Xu Chen), posted a message on his Weibo that he had given up his retirement to continue playing in the Tokyo Olympics. The cross finger is posted in the picture, perhaps because of the power of love, she decided to regain the racket and compete for the national feather until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
For Xu Chen and other veterans who have retired, Ma Jin's return is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and has made a very great contribution to the replacement of the old and new badminton teams in China.
Ma Jin, born on May 7, 1988 in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, entered the Jiangsu Provincial Sports School at the age of 12 and then entered the Jinan team training. After practicing with the team for two years, Ma Jin performed outstandingly and was selected for the Chinese national badminton youth team. In 2005, he was promoted to the national second team. After the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Ma Jin was promoted to the national first team.
In 2006, she represented China in the World Junior Badminton Championships and won the women's doubles championship (partner Wang Xiaoli) and the second place in the mixed team.
In 2009, she and veteran Zheng Bo's new and old combinations in mixed doubles gradually improved, winning the first Super Series at the Swiss Open, followed by the Singapore Super, Indonesia And Malaysia Golden Grand Prix, and the second place in the German Open and China Open.
In the same year, she and Wang Xiaoli also achieved success in women's doubles, winning the India Open, Japan Open, French Open, Hong Kong Open, Asian Badminton Championships and Malaysia Golden Grand Prix.
In 2012, in the mixed doubles competition of badminton at the London Olympic Games, Ma Jin partnered with Xu Chen to win the second place in the mixed doubles competition of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
On August 17, 2016, Xu Chen/Ma Jin lost to teammates Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei in the mixed doubles bronze medal competition at the Rio de Janeiro Games in Brazil, and won the fourth place.
2, half a year ago to retire how to develop the future partner
Long before the 2012 London Olympics, Ma Jin secretly thought that she would not fight after the End of the Olympic Games, on the one hand, because of the unknown of the Olympic Games, on the other hand, the huge pressure of the Uber defeat weighed her a little out of breath.
In the 2012 Uber Cup, Ma Jin played as the first women's doubles match of the Chinese team, but unexpectedly lost, and finally the Chinese team lost 1-3 to the South Korean team, thus ending the history of China's 6 consecutive Uber Cup championships. This is an indelible scar in Ma Jin's heart, during that time, she has been sullen and depressed, she feels that she has not taken responsibility, so that China can end the six consecutive championships.
At the end of the 2015 league, due to feeling that he was physically incompetent, Ma Jin began to have the idea of retiring. So on the first day of the team's closed training camp in Lingshui after the league final, she found head coach Li Yongbo to talk about retiring. After the two sides talked, Li Yongbo told her that there were still four months to go before the Olympic points race, and suggested that she insist on waiting until the end of the points race before making plans to retire.
Ma Jin decided to stay, because she felt that her points were basically not enough to qualify for the Olympics, and Coach Li Yongbo trained and guided himself for many years, and his retention, how to give face, but also for the sake of the overall situation, after four months of his own walk is not too much.
Unexpectedly, after the Asian Championships, Xu Chen/Ma Jin finally surpassed Liu Cheng/Bao Yixin in points and basically locked in the qualification for the Olympic Games. Although he only took the fourth place in the end, he and his partner Xu Chen walked the last journey of his career hand in hand, and he had no regrets.
After the Rio Olympics, the 33-year-old Xu Chen is definitely going to retire. And Ma Jin, who chose to stay and compete in the Tokyo Olympics, must find a new partner, whether to play mixed doubles or women's doubles, to seriously consider it. No matter the next partner and project, it is worth our expectations, and we hope that Ma Jin will create glory in the new journey!
