"The arena is like a battlefield, with impermanence in victory and defeat, but some setbacks are like boulders pressing down on the heart, and it is difficult to let go."

On August 3, the badminton men's singles 1/4 finals of the Paris Olympics ignited, and China's Shi Yuqi and Thailand's Kunlavut met in a thrilling battle for the precious seat in the semi-finals.
Before the Paris Olympics, Shi Yuqi's state was like a rising star, dazzling. He won four titles in a row and managed to reach the top of the world rankings with his outstanding performances.
Because of this, before the game, countless pairs of eyes full of expectations focused on him, and people eagerly hoped that he could shine on the Olympic stage, win the gold medal, and add glory to the Chinese team.
In the previous competition, Shi Yuqi passed all the way, won the first three rounds easily, and was lucky to have a bye in the 1/8 finals, directly advancing to the quarterfinals.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides quickly entered a white-hot fierce battle in the first game. Shi Yuqi and Kunlavut went head-to-head, and the score chased me and chased me, rising alternately, until it was 9-10.
But at this critical moment, Shi Yuqi seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, and the rhythm was instantly chaotic and made frequent mistakes. In a very short period of time, he actually dropped 4 points in a row, and the score was instantly stretched to 9-14.
At this time, Kunlavut seized the opportunity, the momentum was like a rainbow, and he played wave after wave of consecutive scoring climaxes, suppressed Shi Yuqi with a strong attack, and finally took the lead with a score of 21-12.
Entering the second game, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Shi Yuqi. He seemed to have completely lost the power to parry and collapsed directly.
Kunlavut's aggressive attack made it difficult for Shi Yuqi to resist, and soon after the opening, the score became 1-11, and Shi Yuqi fell behind by a large margin.
Subsequently, the gap widened further, 5-17, 10-19, and the situation was obviously out of control and unable to recover. In the end, Kunlavut won another game with a score of 21-10 and defeated Shi Yuqi with a big score of 2-0.
Throughout the game, Shi Yuqi's performance was really unsatisfactory. He made a lot of mistakes throughout the game, and his fighting spirit was very low. Such a performance undoubtedly disappointed the audience who were full of expectations.
With Shi Yuqi's dismal exit, the national feather men's singles also suffered the fate of total annihilation, and missed the medal for two consecutive Olympic Games.
After the game, Shi Yuqi sincerely expressed his deep regret on social media, blaming himself and apologizing for not winning a medal for the Chinese team.
In an interview, he had a solemn face and a low voice, and admitted that he had paid countless sweat and efforts for the Olympic Games, and the preparation process was extremely hard, but he did not play well in this competition, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
He also admits that his opponent Kunlavut played perfectly in the game, and that he was in a state of passive mobilization for most of the time, and that feeling of powerlessness made him feel very depressed.
Although he never gave up in the predicament of falling behind by a large score, he has been thinking hard about how to catch up, but he has no choice but to fall behind too much in the early stage, and he can't turn things around in the end.
Shi Yuqi was in excellent form before the Olympics, winning multiple major tournaments and successfully reaching the top of the world rankings. It is a pity that in this Olympic Games, he still failed to break through the bottleneck of the men's singles quarterfinals.
The national men's singles has missed out on gold medals for the second consecutive Olympic Games, and for the first time since Athens 2004, there has been no Chinese player in the men's singles semifinals.
Netizens are also talking about this. Someone said disappointedly: "I'm so disappointed, I thought Shi Yuqi could bring surprises, but it turned out to be like this." Some people speculated: "Is Shi Yuqi under too much pressure, and I feel that I haven't played at all." Some people even urgently appealed: "The national feather men's singles should reflect and summarize well, and it can't go on like this." ”
This defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow and heart-wrenching. But at the same time, it is also a valuable lesson, which makes us more aware of our own shortcomings and problems.
We sincerely hope that Shi Yuqi can regain his strength from this setback, adjust his mentality, and return to his former peak state.
At the same time, I also look forward to the national feather men's singles to reflect deeply, summarize lessons and lessons, continuously improve their own strength, revitalize their strength in the future arena, and once again bring us exciting performances and brilliant honors!
