In the fierce competition of this year's Badminton World Championships, the Chinese badminton team showed excellent overall strength. In the four events of men's singles, women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, Chinese players successfully reached the final, locking in a championship in advance. However, in the men's doubles event, Guoyu regretted to stop in the semifinals, which is a pity. Let's take a look back at these high-profile competitions.
Men's singles: Top Gun, early to lock the champion
In the men's singles event, Shi Yuqi and Weng Hongyang staged a fierce civil war. Shi Yuqi, who originally had stronger experience and comprehensive strength, lost 0-2 to Weng Hongyang after losing two consecutive games and missed the final. In the other semifinal, Malaysia's Lee Zijia won two consecutive games with his excellent performance, eliminating Lee Cheuk Yew from Hong Kong, China, and successfully advanced to the final. The showdown between the two players will be a highly anticipated match, with the Chinese badminton men's singles playing the final match for the champion.
Women's singles: Chen Yufei unfortunately went out, and Marin advanced to the final
In the women's singles semifinals, Chen Yufei played Spain's An Zhiying again. In the match, Chen Yufei showed excellent skills, but finally lost 19-21, 15-21, unfortunately out of the competition, and missed the women's singles final. Spain's Marin successfully advanced to the final with tenacious perseverance, which became a highlight in the women's singles event.
Women's doubles: Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan beat the Japanese pair
In the women's doubles, the Chinese pair Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan showed excellent form in the semifinals, defeating the Japanese pair Iwanaga Suzu/Nakanishi Guiying 21-10, 21-18 to reach the final. They will face another Japanese pair, Nao Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida, in the final. The strong performance of the Chinese women's doubles provided strong support for the Chinese badminton team to win another championship.
Mixed doubles: Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong to the end
In the mixed doubles event, top seeds Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong lost two straight sets in the semifinals, defeating 8th seeds Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin 21-18, 21-16 to secure a place in the final. This is the fourth time the two have reached the final of the World Championships, after winning the previous three finals. They will face Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping in the final, and the Chinese are expected to reach the top again in the mixed doubles event.
Men's Doubles: Farewell, the Chinese men's doubles tasted defeat for the first time
However, in the men's doubles event, the Chinese team suffered a lot of setbacks. The Leung Wai-hang/Wang Chang pair lost in the semi-finals and lost 21-17, 18-21, 19-21 to the Danish pair Astrup/Rasmussen, and failed to advance to the final. Although it was their first time at the World Championships and they were able to win a bronze medal, it was a valuable experience for them.
Summary and outlook:
At this badminton world championships, the Chinese badminton team showed its outstanding overall strength and won glory for the country. However, it also exposed the shortcomings in the men's doubles event. The victory in this competition is not only a reward for the hard work of the past, but also a reminder of future challenges.
