On April 12, 2024, the Badminton Asian Championships continued, and some of the national feather competitions ended, with 4 wins and 1 loss, including the men's singles Shi Yuqi won Kunlavut 2-0, and the women's singles He Bingjiao eliminated An Xiying 2-0.
Men's singles Shi Yuqi faced Thailand's Kunlavut, the difference in strength between the two is not large, the opponent is the winner of the World Championships after all, and has won Shi Yuqi before, so this is a bit difficult, of course, Shi Yuqi's performance this year is good, after winning the championship, Kunlavut is too inferior, Shi Yuqi led in the first game and was chased continuously, withstood the pressure at the critical moment, and took the lead 22-20.
In the second game, Kunlavut did not give up, based on fighting more actively, Shi Yuqi did not give the opponent any chance, ended the game 21-13, and finally defeated Kunlavut 2-0, Shi Yuqi advanced to the men's singles semifinals at home, Shi Yuqi's performance during this time was really good, maintaining a very high winning rate, and I hope he will continue to work hard and maintain this state.
Also bringing good news is the women's singles, He Bingjiao lived up to expectations, 21-17, 21-18 eliminated South Korean star An Xiying, this can even be said to be an unexpected surprise, before the game many fans thought that there was little hope, He Bingjiao won 2-0 is not expected, you must know that seven consecutive encounters, He Bingjiao lost to An Xiying, and now it is commendable for its color, this game played its own momentum.
At present, there is some suspense for the second Olympic women's singles seat in the national feather, He Bingjiao, Wang Zhiyi, and Han Yue compete, but after He Bingjiao defeated An Xiying, she added more points in the eyes of the coaching staff, and she was originally the first choice, and the comprehensive strength of the team was second only to Chen Yufei, these are also opportunities to rely on their own efforts, earlier Wang Zhiyi reversed Japan's Aya Ohori 15-21, 21-12, 21-11.
The most thrilling is the women's doubles, the world's No. 1 Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan almost went out, narrowly defeated the Japanese combination 21-10, 18-21, 21-19 Reina Miyaura/Sakuramoto Ayako, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan only won 2 points in the third game, and it was 0-7 behind the reversal, which made the fans of the national feather feel thrilled, but fortunately, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan never relented at the critical moment, and finally avoided the upset loss.
There are variables in men's doubles, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi did not perform well, losing to the Malaysian combination Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi 14-21, 15-21, this result is also normal, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi's competitive state is not at its peak, Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi has won the World Championships after all, and its level is close, with Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi missing the semifinals, whether it can qualify for the Olympics at that time depends on luck.
