On April 7, Beijing time, the South Korean Open Badminton Tournament continued, the national women's singles Xinke Olympic champion Chen Yufei played in the round of 16, against South Korea's Kim Jia-eun, in the end, Chen Yufei 0-2 upset out, the two sets of scores were 17-21 and 19-21.
This is Chen Yufei's third consecutive key match loss since 2022, after the 2022 BWF Tour German Open women's singles final, Chen Yufei lost to He Bingjiao to win the runner-up, the All England Open Women's Singles Final 4, Chen Yufei lost to Japan's Akane Yamaguchi. Coupled with the upset to stop the South Korean open women's singles round of 16, Chen Yufei's entry into the state of 2022 so far is not good, into a downturn!
After winning the women's singles championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chen Yufei has been plagued by injuries and illnesses, and has been in a state of recuperation for a long time, and has not played, which has led to Chen Yufei's competitive state not being able to maintain its best level, and the performance of the competition has continued to be sluggish. At present, Chen Yufei's personal world ranking is no. 3, still in a high position, considering that Chen Yufei is only 24 years old, there is definitely a chance to restore competitiveness, looking forward to the return of Chen Yufei's king!
In another women's singles competition, another national badminton player Wang Zhiyi lost to Busanland 1-2 (17-21, 21-17, 18-21), so far, the Chinese women's singles in this tournament has all been out, and the national women's singles has been completely destroyed, which is rare in the history of national badminton, reflecting the current low point in The development of Chinese badminton.
The Chinese badminton team has been in a dominant position in the world badminton world for a long time, winning the championship in the first time it participated in the Thomas Cup, and has won 9 Thomas Cups, 12 Uber Cups and 8 Sudirman Cups in the history of the team. At the 2012 London Olympic Games, China's national feather even won gold medals in all 5 events, showing its strong dominance. But with the "wind and cloud combination", Lin Dan's group of outstanding athletes left the field, the development of the national feathers has deteriorated, the new generation of players on the top of the comprehensive strength is insufficient, 2016 Rio Olympic Games 5 events to win 2 gold, 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games results are 2 gold and 4 silver, although all the projects have reached the final, but the always strong men's singles failed to win the championship, the veteran Chen Long lost to Denmark's Arceloron.
Coupled with the problem of overseas epidemics in recent years, most national badminton players have fewer opportunities to go out to play, resulting in a continuous decline in the degree of exercise, creating a situation where today's competitiveness is not strong. Women's singles Xinke Olympic champion Chen Yufei has been out of the game many times, not to mention other players, are in a state of search.
At present, the Paris Olympic cycle has 2 years of preparation time left, leaving little time for the national feather, during which it is necessary to get the players back on track as soon as possible, if they cannot wake up quickly, the results of the Paris Olympic Games will be very dismal. As one of the proudest projects in the Chinese sports world, Guoyu cannot continue to slump!
