In the run-up to the upcoming Paris Olympics, the men's doubles event in badminton has been embroiled in controversy over a serious error in the calculation of points. The originally scheduled 16 men's doubles pairs, which may have been increased to 17 pairs due to BWF mistakes, have attracted widespread attention and legal disputes.
A points miscalculation in the Sudirman Cup team event in '23 stirred up the Olympic dreams of the men's doubles team within France's badminton team. The Corway/Labar duo had already managed to overtake the Popov brothers after a points correction, but it took almost a year for the BWF to recognise it, leading to a crucial ranking change that cost them their rightful Olympic qualification.
The France Badminton Federation did not hesitate to appeal in the face of the loss of Olympic qualification. They insisted that Corway/Labar should be given a chance to qualify as a wild card, but the BWF did not give them any special treatment. The controversy eventually led to a trial before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which ultimately ruled in favour of Corway/Rabar's claim that BWF must recommend their Olympic qualifications.
Now, the BWF is faced with the challenge of how to properly handle the increase in teams and tournaments. Some groups may face a five-pair situation due to the points correction, which will obviously increase the difficulty of advancing and the intensity of the competition. However, if the BWF does not give controversial players a chance to participate, it will cause dissatisfaction and doubts about the fairness of other players, and may even affect the credibility of the entire competition.
The France men's doubles controversy is not only a ranking dispute caused by a miscalculation of points, but also a test of the importance and fairness of organization and management in sports competition. In such a situation, the BWF needs to make informed decisions to ensure that all athletes can demonstrate their abilities in a level playing field, while also maintaining the fairness and credibility of the competition.
Against the backdrop of all this controversy, the seeding of the men's doubles has been determined. Leung Wai Hang and Wong Chang have been seeded No. 1 with a strong performance, and the pair has shown strong chemistry and technical prowess in their past matches. Their determination of seed status has sparked widespread discussion and anticipation.
In the heated discussion of sports events, netizens expressed their support and recognition for Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang. A netizen "Badminton Fan Xiao Wang" posted on social platforms: "Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang are indeed the pride of our men's doubles! Their chemistry and consistency on the court are impressive, and they deserve to be the No. 1 seed! Such comments reflect the high opinion and expectations of the majority of badminton lovers for this pair of players.
The determination of the seeded players has also sparked competition and dissatisfaction among other players. After the BWF seeding was announced, some of the competitors expressed their eagerness and uneasiness about their chances of qualifying. An anonymous player revealed in an interview: "While we respect the status of seeded players, everyone wants to have a fair chance to compete. Leung and Wong have performed well, but other athletes are also trying their best to fight for their Olympic dreams. ”
Netizens have also reacted variously to the controversy within the France team and Corway/Labar's successful appeal. Some netizen "Fan Xiao Qiao" believed: "This ruling can be regarded as a voice for justice, but the BWF should consider how to balance the fairness and competition of the game." After all, every athlete works hard for the Olympic dream and should be given the fair chance possible. ”
Among the entire badminton community and sports enthusiasts, the confirmation of Leung Wai Hang and Wang Chang as the No. 1 seeds has sparked a kind of discussion about "iron battalions, flowing soldiers". The pair's consistency and level of competition became the focus of heated discussions among other competitors and fans.

This view reflects the real advantage of the tacit cooperation between the two players in the game, and their tacit understanding is not only technical, but also psychological.
Other netizens are concerned about the technical stability of Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang. A netizen who often follows match statistics commented on the forum: "From the analysis of the data, Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang have extremely low error rates, especially in the key score segments, and their consistency allows them to maintain an advantage in the fierce competition. "This view reveals their technical maturity and ability to control the game, which is one of the big reasons why they are seeded.
There are also some netizens who pay attention to their game strategy and adaptability. A netizen who calls himself a "tactical maniac" discussed in a group chat: "Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang's tactical deployment in the game is very accurate, they can flexibly adjust according to the characteristics of their opponents, and this flexibility and tactical understanding is an important factor for them to outperform their competitors." "This analysis shows their ability to respond flexibly and adjust their strategy during the game, which is essential to remain competitive at a high level.
Some netizens also put forward different views on the technical characteristics of Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang. A netizen who claimed to be a "power party" mentioned in the discussion: "Although Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang are technically excellent, they may look a little difficult against some opponents with outstanding speed and strength. In the face of a head-to-head matchup, they will need to strengthen their counter-attacking and defensive capabilities. This analysis shows a focus on their potential technical shortcomings, but also an expectation of room for improvement.
The chaos in the men's doubles event in badminton was not just a points error, but a test of the sport's fairness and organisational management. How to deal with this oolong fairly and give all athletes the right to enjoy a fair competition at the Olympic Games will be the next serious challenge for the BWF.
