The 2024 Badminton Asian Championships can be described as a blessed land for the national badminton, following Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi to lock up the Olympic spot, another women's singles star He Bingjiao also got a place in the Olympic Games. In the first two women's singles semifinals, Chen Yufei and Wang Zhiyi defeated Han Yue and He Bingjiao respectively to advance.
Before the game, the national feather women's singles had already won the top 4, and the only suspense was who could advance to the Olympics between Han Yue and He Bingjiao. According to the Olympic points, if Han Yue advances to the finals, her Olympic points will surpass He Bingjiao, on the contrary, Han Yue did not advance to the finals, and He Bingjiao's Olympic points continue to lead. In the end, He Bingjiao and Han Yue both lost, which means that He Bingjiao locked the second women's singles seat.
He Bingjiao's opponent was Wang Zhiyi, and the two sides fought hard in two games, He Bingjiao lost 19-21, 17-21, and Chen Yufei faced Han Yue, who won 21-15, 21-16. With the end of the women's singles semi-finals, the national women's singles Olympic points ranking has also been finalized, with Chen Yufei ranked first, He Bingjiao ranked second, Han Yue ranked third and Wang Zhiyi ranked fourth.
Now He Bingjiao's Olympic points are 76,274 points, Han Yue's Olympic points are 75,486 points, and Wang Zhiyi and Chen Yufei's points will not be revealed until the championship is over. However, even if Wang Zhiyi wins the championship, the Olympic points are up to 75,148 points, and if she is the runner-up, it will be 73,348 points, no matter what the situation, she will rank fourth in the national feather women's singles. In other words, Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao once again joined hands to hit the Olympic gold medal!
Top seed Shi Yuqi lost 21-18, 19-21, 12-21 against Jonatan. The reason why Shi Yuqi lost the game, he said to the coach at the time of the pause and explained the reason, he said directly: "I can't keep up, I don't want to make mistakes!" Indeed, judging from the scene, Shi Yuqi really couldn't keep up with Jonatan's speed, resulting in continuous mistakes, especially in the third game, which was affected by physical fitness, and finally missed the final.
In this Asian Championships, Shi Yuqi's draw can be described as very hard, although he is the top seed, he does not enjoy the treatment of the top seed. As soon as it came up, it was Lakshya, followed by Kenta Nishimoto, and then Kunlavut, each one is more difficult to beat than the other, on the other hand, Jonatan's draw, the first round of the unknown young player Albo, the second round of Li Zhuoyao, and the third round of Li Zijia. The winner will face the winner between Lee Shifeng and Kodai Naraoka in the Men's Singles final.
Women's Doubles top seeds Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan lost 14-21, 16-21 to Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian. The two sides have played each other 6 times before, and the Fan Chen combination has won, but I didn't expect the most critical game Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian to play at their peak, and did not give Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan too many chances, and won it cleanly. Unfortunately, despite reaching the Women's Doubles final, they were in poor form and missed out on the Paris Olympics.
