First of all, it should be clear that the Tongyou Cup and the Olympic badminton are two different formats.
Both the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup are team competitions. The competition system is to determine the results of the competition in a single-even-odd-even-even manner, and the contestants will not repeat it. This kind of team competition is not only about the strength of your strongest player, but also about the depth of the national team squad, because even if your first singles and first doubles are strong and you can lead 2-0 every time, you can't win if your second, second, and third singles don't work.
The Olympics are different. The Olympics only have singles and doubles, that is, it focuses more on "individual competitions". Your individual performance determines how far you can go. There's no team to help you with, and no one else can drag you down.
For example, in the Thomas Cup, the Chinese team basically won their opponents 3-1. Lee Sze Fung and the first pair of Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang both lost. If they are eliminated at the Olympics, don't say they can win in the end. The team competition gave them the chance to continue playing and eventually win the cup, and the Chinese team eventually won the cup again because of their stronger team ability.
However, we also have players who have won all, such as all the women's teams and Shi Yuqi in the men's singles. Of course, we didn't meet Denmark, Chinese Taipei and other teams. While we won't face all the Olympics, an opponent like world No. 1 Axelsen is likely to win the Olympics, so we can't say that Shi Yuqi is stable right now.
And the Olympics are even more stressful on individuals. After all, losing home still has a big impact on some players. For example, Danlin, who participated in the Olympics for the first time, has been criticized for many years because she was eliminated at the Olympics. It wasn't until his results stabilized a little and he won two Olympic championships in a row that he was truly called a big brother in badminton.
Returning to the prospect of the Olympics, the women's team seems relatively stable, at least for now, and perhaps they can win two titles in the women's singles and women's doubles.
Men's singles looks relatively good, and while not absolutely dominant, there should be a chance to play with anyone. Men's doubles want to be even worse, and in a decisive match, unless their luck and form are at their best, our men's doubles will most likely not make it to the final.
Because there is no event in this match, the mixed doubles still has a chance.
Personally, I guess that the number of badminton gold medals in the Paris Olympics should be the goal of 2 to 4.
