After the end of the Asian Championships, the Chinese badminton team became the only team to participate in the Olympic Games with a full quota. Before the Paris Olympics, the national team has another important event to participate in, and that is the Tang You Cup in Chengdu. As the start day approached, the national team also announced the list of players who will participate in the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup.
In the men's team Thomas Cup, the national feather sent the strongest lineup, men's singles Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng, Lu Guangzu, Weng Hongyang, men's doubles Liang Weihang/Wang Chang, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu played. This lineup can be said that the top lineup of the national feather, Li Shifeng's timely recovery at the Asian Championships, also injected a shot in the arm for the men's team.
According to the schedule, the Chinese men's team will face Australia, Canada and South Korea in the group stage. In terms of strength, the first two games of the group stage are not too difficult, Australia and Canada can get a handful of male players, it is estimated that the men's singles Yang Can is still a little famous; the South Korean men's team is the strongest opponent of the Chinese men's team in the group stage, they sent Jeon Yi Chen, Zhao Jian Ye, Lee Lun Gyu, Woo Seung Hoon, Seo Seung Jae, Kang Min Hyuk, Kim Won Ho, Jin Long, Qi Dong Joo, Zheng Cheng Min Min lineup.
In Men's Singles, China's Shi Yuqi and Li Shifeng will definitely have the advantage, while Men's Doubles Leung Wai Keng/Wang Chang and Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi should be evenly matched, but South Korea's world champions Seo Seung-jae/Kang Min-hyuk have been in poor form of late, and if Men's Doubles can win one match, they should be able to sweep South Korea. But the national team should also be wary of South Korea's counterattack, which has a long tradition of breaking out in team events.
For the men's team, their goal is to regain the Thomas Cup, with the knockout rounds being the main battleground. If the national team wants to win the championship again, the main opponents should be Japan and India. Japan sent Kodai Naraoka, Kenta Nishimoto, Hangtaka Watanabe, and Kento Momota; Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi, Teru Koga/Taiichi Saito, Kenya Mitsuhashi/Yoki Okamura; Prannoy, Lakshya, Srikanth, Priyesio, and Kiran; Rankireddy, Shetty, Jun, Kapila, and Plantik from India.
In the women's team Uber Cup, Guoyu also sent the strongest lineup, women's singles Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Han Yue, Wang Zhiyi, women's doubles Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu. According to the schedule, the national team will face Singapore, Canada and India in the group stage. In terms of the strength of the group stage, the Chinese women's team still has to be a step ahead, whether it is women's singles or women's doubles, it is very strong, Singapore, Canada and India are difficult to pose a threat to us.
The women's team can be said to have encountered happy troubles, such as how to send troops to the women's singles. Wang Zhiyi, Han Yue and He Bingjiao all beat Big4 at the Asian Championships, and no matter who they played, it was enough for their opponents to eat, and the same was true for Women's Doubles, with Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu's strong performances at the Asian Championships, coupled with Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning. The women's team still has a better chance of winning the Uber Cup, and the main opponent is South Korea. The South Korean women's team lineup is Ahn Se-young, Shen You-jin, Kim Jia-lan, Kim Min-hyun, Baek Ha-na/Lee So-hee, Kim So-young/Kong Hee-yong, Jung Na-eun/Kim Hye-jung
