In the women's singles final of badminton at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chen Yufei defeated the bitter lord Dai Ziying 2-1 to win the Olympic championship. From winning the Women's Singles Championship at the World Youth Championships in 2016 to winning the Olympic Championship in 2021, Chen Yufei's growth time is not long compared with her predecessors.
Badminton, as our traditional advantage project, has attracted the attention of many people, and the popularity of badminton in the masses is also very high. Friends who pay attention to badminton competitions know that women's singles is our country's traditional advantage, from Gong Zhichao won the Olympic championship for the first time in the 2000 Athens Olympic Games, to Zhang Ning and Li Xuerui, we only regretted losing the championship in the Rio Olympic Games.
After the Rio Olympics, Li Xuerui was close to retirement, and the departure of the two kings and one Li from the international arena also marked the end of the peak period of national feathers. The Combination of Tian Zhao has become history, Tang Yuanting hastily retired, and there is almost no successor to the women's singles and women's doubles projects.
In this case, for a group of small team members such as Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao, what they shoulder is not only the personal goal of making achievements, but also the heavy responsibility of recovering the lost land of the women's singles project. In the case of almost a generation of mesozoic players, Chen Yufei hastily coped with the encirclement of the world's top masters in the case of lack of experience in the competition, and the results were dismal.
Many fans even gave her the title of "Yufei The Great", that is, under such pressure, Chen Yufei grew while playing. From the All England Open, to the BWF Super Series Finals, to the Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup team competitions, 2019 is a year of rapid growth and harvest for Chen Yufei.
Unfortunately, the postponement of the Olympic Games and the extra year may be an opportunity to practice and improve the technology, but it may also bring other variables. The epidemic has almost stopped international competitions, and the national feathers are in a state of closed training almost before the Olympic Games.
The status of players in other countries, how the techniques and tactics and playing styles have changed, these are not known. This also makes many fans not optimistic about Chen Yufei's trip to Tokyo, because whether it is Dai Ziying, Ma Lin, or Akane Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei has no absolute strength to win.
The Tokyo Olympic lottery was announced, and unfortunately the two Chinese athletes are in the same half of the zone, which means that there is bound to be a derby that we do not want to see. Fortunately, Ma Lin, Xindu, and Dai Ziying are located in the same half of the district, which relieves the pressure on the national feather to a certain extent.
Many people said after Chen Yufei won the championship that signing luck helped her a lot, but it is undeniable that luck is also part of strength, perhaps this is the opportunity always prefers those who are prepared. And Chen Yufei, an athlete who does his best on the field and releases himself off the field, is worth it!
