On April 15, Beijing time, the 2024 Asian Badminton Championships ended yesterday, with 3 gold, 3 silver and 7 bronze medals in the national badminton team, and 10 full quotas for the Paris Olympics!
【Men's Singles】Jonatan 21-15, 21-16 Li Shifeng, revenge for last year's defeat in the BWF World Tour Finals, after the All England Championships! Li Shifeng unfortunately won the runner-up, still creating the best result of the season, and his physical and competitive condition have improved, but he is still far from last year, and the world ranking has also risen one place to No. 6 (Jonathan No. 3).
Jonatan 18-21, 21-19, 21-12 Shi Yuqi, the latter stopped in the semi-finals, in addition to the All England Championships, Shi Yuqi reached the semi-finals in all four tournaments this season, winning 2 championships, 1 runner-up and 1 semi-finals, No. 1 in the feather forest, and the world ranking remains unchanged or second. Although Axelsen is still the world No. 1, he suffered his fourth defeat in the season, and the European Championships 1-2 Da Popov also stopped in the semifinals, and the Olympic title defense is full of uncertainties! Shi Yuqi ushered in the best chance to win his own world championship.

Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping 21-10, 21-14 Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin, Seo Seungjae/Choi Yoo-gil 9-21, 21-13, 21-16 Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, the latter stopped in the semi-finals, IELTS is still first, Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin dropped one place to sixth.
IELTS said after the match, "I haven't played each other for a while, unlike last year, when we met every month, the opponent's hard power is still very strong." There were some headwinds today, but the turning point was an 11-7 lead in the tiebreaker, six points in a row after the break, and no good solution was found after that."
Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong ranked first in the Paris Olympics with 110456 points, and the national feather is expected to meet in the final again after the Tokyo Olympics. In 17 tournaments, he won 7 championships, 2 runners-up, 2 semifinals, 6 quarterfinals, and 10 defeats to seeded players, including 3 losses to Kim Won Ho/Jung Na Eun and 3 losses to Seo Seung Jae/Choi Yoo Hyun.
Cheng Xing/Chen Fanghui lost 16-21, 21-7, 18-21 to Dechapol/Sasiri and stopped in the round of 16, and their ranking remained unchanged at 25th, but they have already split the pair.
