In response to the changes in the points system of the BWF, the new season of the national badminton changed the strategy, the training base was selected in Thailand, from here to participate in the competition. So far this season, Kuniwa has been training and playing abroad for almost three months.
Zhang Jun, the head of the Chinese Badminton Association and former Olympic champion, said that in 2020 and 2021, Guoyu only participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Tangyou Cup, Sudirman Cup, World Championships and other competitions. Entering the new Paris Olympic cycle, due to the changes in the world badminton system and points system, the national badminton needs to participate in the tour for a long time, so it chose to train in Thailand. Let athletes compete more, and Guoyu is also trying new ways.
The new cycle of the mixed doubles world number one combination Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong has undergone a process of dismantling pairs and restructuring. After the two reunited, they won consecutive titles at the recent Asian Championships and the Thailand Open. In this regard, Zhang Jun explained that he had communicated with them before letting the two people split up, and it was also for the purpose of protecting them.
Zhang Jungao
As a former mixed doubles Olympic champion, Zhang Jun's understanding and awareness of this project is definitely deeper than that of ordinary people. Zhang Jun said that any pair of doubles, after experiencing the Olympic final, experiencing the loss of the game, experiencing the elimination of the world championship debut, at this time their state and mutual trust are not particularly good, at that time the dismantling is actually to let them not bear so much pressure, want them to bring different young players, re-find their own rhythm, or find the good of their peers.
Through a series of competitions such as the All England, Asian Championships, Thailand and so on, our coaches have been communicating with them and letting them spend the bad time. Let them rediscover the rhythm of the match, and also recognize the problems they had before. This is really a good thing.
Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Yufei also talked about training and competition abroad, saying that she does encounter some unexpected situations, especially in Europe. When we were unwell, the team gave us a lot of logistical support. In fact, including Zhang Jun, coaches, team doctors, etc., their bodies may also have some discomfort, but they still take our team members first. If we have any needs, they will deal with them as soon as possible. They're really not easy. During the Tang You Cup, Zhang Jun also cooked for the team members.
Li Shifeng
Li Shifeng, a post-00 athlete who won the men's singles runner-up at the Thailand Open last week, said that he envied Chen Yufei for the first time to participate in the Olympic Games to win the women's singles championship, which is inseparable from the usual efforts, and he will also work in this direction and will strive to participate in the Paris Olympic Games.
For herself to be regarded as Lin Dan's successor, Li Shifeng said that she never wanted to take over anything in the past, or the heir of an athlete, there are too many outstanding athletes in the national feather, I am too far behind them, they are all my role models, do a good job, do a good job as an athlete of the national feather, the most important thing is to be a national feather athlete.
In June, The National Feather will continue to participate in the BWF 500 Indonesia Masters and the 1000 Indonesia Open in Indonesia.
