Today, there was good news from the Olympic Sports Center, and the national feather men's doubles pair Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi won the men's doubles Olympic quota for the national feather.
Analysis of the Olympic quota rules (Musou Sports Viewpoint)
At Paris 2024, 172 athletes will compete in badminton, 86 men and 86 women.
According to the eligibility rules for badminton at the Paris Olympics, each federation can only have a maximum of two quotas per singles event, and in order to get two quotas, the association must have at least two players ranked in the top 16 in the world.
Each doubles event can only have a maximum of 2 quotas per association, and in order to get 2 quotas, the association must have at least 2 pairs of players ranked in the top 8 in the world.
The period for calculating Olympic points is May 1, 2023 ~ April 28, 2024, during which players from all over the world need to participate in events designated by the BWF in order to earn Olympic points. The designated events are as follows:
World Championships, Sudirman Cup, Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, BWF 2nd/3rd Tier Tournaments, Continental Badminton Championships, Continental Games, etc. The Asian Championships held in Ningbo, China on April 9th ~ April 14th is the last event where you can get Olympic points.
At today's Asian Championships, China's Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi entered the top 8, although they lost 0-2 to the Malaysian pair in the quarterfinals, but because they got the necessary Olympic points and locked the world's top 8 in advance, they can already get the Olympic quota.
In addition, the men's singles, women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles events have all won 2 full quotas, so far, the Chinese badminton team has won all 10 Olympic tickets for badminton events, becoming the only team in the world to get full Olympic tickets.

Olympic Preview (Musou Sports Perspectives)
There will be 15 medals in badminton at the Olympic Games, including five gold, five silver and five bronze. At the last Tokyo Olympics, the national team won a total of six medals. At the Paris Olympics, the national feather is expected to go one step further.
In men's singles, the biggest opponent of the national feather is the Danish team, and now Axelsen has been sitting in the world No. 1 position for too long, and Antonsen also has a very strong strength. After Lin Dan and Chen Long, no one in the national feather men's singles has been able to have a very stable performance in the badminton world, and this year's Olympics is Shi Yuqi's best opportunity to prove himself.
In women's singles, Guoyu's biggest opponents are An Xiying, Akane Yamaguchi, Dai Tzu Ying and Sindhu, and it depends on the performance of Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao.
In men's doubles, the national feather combination has not been very stable, all the participating combinations are the big opponents of the national feather, the national feather in the men's doubles event has not yet won the championship, or I am the main one, play my own advantages, play well may have surprises.
In women's doubles, the biggest opponents of the national feather are Japan and South Korea, and any of the three pairs of Chinese pairs have a relatively high certainty of winning the championship, especially the Fanchen combination of Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, which ultimately depends on the on-the-spot performance.
Mixed doubles, like women's doubles, is basically a three-country kill of China, Japan and South Korea. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong are perennially ranked No. 1 in the world, and their biggest opponents are Japan's Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino. I believe that with the combination of Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping and Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin, it is not a big problem to win the championship.
Since you have won 10 Olympic quotas, let's go all out, and look forward to surprising the Chinese people and bringing the national feather back to the top of the world, come on!
