The Paris 2024 Olympic Games will open in July this year. The Olympic Games are the highest temple of sports, and participating in the Olympic Games is a dream goal for all athletes.
For the national feather, the biggest goal of this Asian Championships is that Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi in the men's doubles will retain the 8th place in the Olympic points to ensure that the national feather will participate in the full quota.
Interestingly, this target was decided by the fact that Tuou's biggest opponents, Indonesia's Fikri/Maulana, dropped the chain in the first round, and the only current rivals are Tokyo Olympic men's doubles champions Li Yang/Wang Qilin. Tuou currently has a lead of more than 3,700 points, and there may be teammates who can block it, and have a big advantage. On 12 April, the fiercest battle of the men's doubles Olympic qualification battle between Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi and Li Yang/Wang Qilin will take place.
According to my calculations, if Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi stops in the top 8 and Li Yang/Wang Qilin wins the championship, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi will lose the qualification for the Paris Olympics. On April 12, if Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi defeated Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi to reach the top 4, the Olympic qualification is basically in hand.
However, many fans have set their sights on the men's doubles Olympic qualification battle, and may not have noticed that while the men's doubles is fiercely competing with players from other associations, there is an even more fierce competition within the national team for Olympic qualification, and this battle will also start on April 12.
That is the battle between He Bingjiao and Han Yue for Olympic qualification.
Before the start of the Asian Championships, He Bingjiao ranked 6th in Olympic points with 74,274 points, while Han Yue ranked 7th in Olympic points with 73,136 points, and the difference between the two points was only 1,158 points. He Bingjiao's lead is much smaller than Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, and in this Asian Championships, Han Yue only needs to take one more step forward to surpass He Bingjiao in Olympic points and qualify for the Paris Olympics.
On April 12, He Bingjiao and Han Yue, who reached the top 8 at the same time in this Asian Championships, ushered in the most fierce competition. He Bingjiao will be against An Xiying, and Han Yue will be against Akane Yamaguchi.
Looking at the match, it is estimated that all the fans know in their hearts: both of them should be defeated, but with the encouragement of Olympic qualification, who knows that there will be no miracle?
Live broadcast preview: Afternoon 2, after 13:40, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi vs. Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi, He Bingjiao vs. An Xiying, afternoon 4th, around 16 o'clock, Li Yang/Wang Qilin vs. Wu Shifei/Yi Zudin, Han Yue vs. Yamaguchi Akane. As for which platform will broadcast live? I must say that I miss "Youku" very much! After she doesn't broadcast, we need to look everywhere.
