May 1 is the closing day of the 2022 Asian Badminton Championships, and The National Badminton has won all three final events, winning the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles titles, of which the mixed doubles are "civil wars", and a total of three golds and one silver, proving that they are still the best badminton team in the world. But at the same time, due to the sluggishness of the men's event, only the rookie Weng Hongyang entered the final four in the men's singles, and none of the men's doubles pairs entered the semifinals. According to this, in the Team Battle of the Tangyou Cup that began on May 8, the Yu Cup defended its title without worry, and it was difficult to regain the Tang Cup.
Wang Zhiyi
Asian Championships mixed doubles Chinese team won the championship, runner-up, "IELTS" combination once again showed its power, defeated the old rivals Wang Yilu, Huang Dongping, for them personally regain confidence and gain honor, for guoyu is even more good news, if you continue to retain this pair, guoyu in the future two-year cycle of the Paris Olympic Games, at least to ensure that the project is in an undefeated position, or can add winning weight to the Sudirman Cup, in the world championships, Olympic Games and other major competitions to become the most powerful contender for the gold medal of the project. However, the upcoming Tangyou Cup is a men's and women's collective event, and the mixed doubles event is not included in the competition.
Wang Zhiyi's sudden appearance undoubtedly surprised the coaching team of Guoyu, which made the Chinese women's team more confident that it was sure to achieve the defense of the Uber Cup. Born in 2000, the Jingzhou girl won the Asian Championship this time with full gold content. In the absence of Olympic champion Chen Yufei, several teammates including the most powerful He Bingjiao have been eliminated, she alone reached the final four, and in the semifinals against the two strongest Asian players today, An Xianying and Akane Yamaguchi, she was able to regain the initiative of the game in the passive situation of losing the first set, and finally won consecutively, both in terms of skills and psychology, and enhanced confidence.
Wang Zhiyi has been proven to be able to form a national women's singles trident with two sisters Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao, such a strong singles lineup, coupled with the Olympic runner-up, this time in Manila, the women's doubles "Fan Chen" combination Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, the Chinese team will no longer have opponents in the Uber Cup, and the only japanese team that can pose a threat to the Chinese team is the Relatively Balanced Strength of Singles and Doubles.

After saying joy, let's talk about worry. From the four major events at the end of last year (Tang, You, Su Cup, World Championship) to several open tournaments so far this season, as well as this Asian Championship, the national feather men's project is really underperforming, and even said that it has reached the bottom of the valley is not excessive, in addition to the emergence of a Fujian rookie Weng Hongyang. Weng Hongyang won a three-year-old Open championship for the men's team at the Korea Open in early April, but that was also the absence of most international masters, and the event was a lower-level Super 300. But anyway, it's an open champion.
This Asian Championship, is still Weng Hongyang's best performance, due to the lack of points before, he must start from the qualification round, but has defeated Srikante, Indonesia's No. 1 Quinting and other famous players, becoming the only player in the national men's singles to enter the final four, giving people a glimmer of hope, but there is still some gap from the world top.
The men's doubles has split a lot of new and old combinations this season, the effect has not yet appeared, and it has not won any valuable results, and no pair of pairs in this Asian Championship has advanced to the semi-finals, which can be said to be still in the run-in. In the current state, the imminent Thomas Cup, even if it is not injured for a long time, the current strength of the unknown Shi Yuqi chi aid, may not be able to reach the final, the realistic goal is positioned as the top four is more appropriate. Men's two projects, if you want to quickly improve immediately out of the predicament, there is no better way, can only hope for their impromptu play. The Paris Olympic Games still have two years to go, which seems to be very long, but in fact, there is not enough time, and the training of new talents is not waiting for me.

After the end of the Asian Championship competition, The national feather will go to the training base in Chiang Mai, Thailand to prepare, and in one week, the Tang You Cup will start in Bangkok, and the performance of the Chinese team is worth looking forward to.
