With the end of the Badminton Asian Championships, the 2024 Paris Olympics Badminton Points Qualifying Tournament has officially ended, and the quota for the five individual events of the Paris Olympics is basically clear, and the national team has become the only team to obtain all the full quotas. It's just that in the women's singles event, the national feather now has happy troubles, in addition to Chen Yufei, there are three players to candidate for the second place, according to the ranking, He Bingjiao occupies the first place, but the national feather team has not clarified the final list of the second candidate.
According to the selection notice of the Paris Olympics list released by the Chinese Badminton Association earlier, the top eight players in the world in singles will get a ticket to the Paris Olympics.
In the women's singles field of the Asian Championships, the national feather performed well at home, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Han Yue, and Wang Zhiyi swept the top 4, and finally Wang Zhiyi defeated Chen Yufei to win the championship. In the semifinals, He Bingjiao lost to Wang Zhiyi, Han Yue lost to Chen Yufei, such results are directly reflected in the latest world rankings, that is, the Paris Olympics points competition cut-off ranking, He Bingjiao fifth, Han Yue sixth, Wang Zhiyi eighth, all three have won the Paris Olympics women's singles quota, but according to the regulations, an association team has only two places at most, so according to the order, He Bingjiao is the first rank and will get the second Olympic quota.
However, according to national sources, it is not clear within the national feather that He Bingjiao has locked the second ticket for the women's singles of the Paris Olympics, but she is relatively dominant. Before the deadline for the submission of the squad for the Paris Olympics, the national team still had time to inspect and screen, so the team put the second choice on the upcoming Tang You Cup. In the Uber Cup women's singles event, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi will play together, and at that time, in the women's singles competition, their performance on the court will largely determine their Olympic prospects and fate.
In particular, the key second and third singles are related to the trend and final result of the game. In the last Uber Cup final, after the national feather and the South Korean women's team drew 2-2 in the first four games, Wang Zhiyi, who played the third singles, lost the game in an "upset", causing the national feather to miss the Uber Cup championship and also put her under huge psychological pressure. Competing in the Uber Cup again this year, the women's singles competition has been given more important significance, and who can join hands with Chen Yufei to compete in the women's singles field of the Paris Olympics will also become the biggest attraction during the Tang You Cup.
