Olympic experts talk: Chen Long missed the men’s singles defending badminton event ended
In the 2012 London Olympics, the national feathers achieved a historic feat of hardware. However, in the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese badminton team only won two gold medals in men’s singles and men’s doubles, as well as a bronze medal in mixed doubles, and their performance was sluggish. This Olympics is also the first Olympic Games of Guoyu in the “post-Li Yongbo era”. Under the leadership of Zhang Jun of the Chinese Badminton Association, Guoyu’s goal in the Olympics is to compete for one to three gold medals.
In the first badminton mixed doubles match, the Chinese badminton team won the championship ahead of schedule. The Chinese combination Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping defeated another Chinese group Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong 3-2 to win the gold medal. This is also the 18th gold medal of the Chinese delegation. The Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong combination won the silver medal. This is the first gold of the Chinese badminton team in the Tokyo Olympics badminton event. It is also the national badminton team that has regained the mixed doubles championship after the 2012 London Olympics, regaining the lost ground in the previous dominant event.
However, after that, Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen lost 0-2 to Chinese Taipei team Wang Qilin/Li Yang in the men’s doubles final, making Guoyu’s goal of winning 5 golds failed early. As the only pair of Chinese men’s doubles in the Olympic badminton event, Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen kept the spark of hope for the end. Although the two missed the first Olympic gold medal in their careers, the silver medal result was also satisfactory.
After losing the men’s doubles title, the women’s singles event became extraordinarily stressful. Fortunately, Chen Yufei, who was able to reach the badminton women’s singles final, withstood the pressure and staged a peak duel with Chinese Taipei player Dai Ziying. Chen Yufei used the game more delicately. With his skills and tactics and a stable mentality, he gradually took the initiative in the multi-shot round, and finally won the championship with 21-18, 19-21, 21-18. This is also the second gold harvest of the Chinese badminton team in Tokyo.
However, the Chinese badminton team missed the gold medal in the women’s doubles event. Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan did not perform well in the finals and lost 0-2 to the Indonesian combination Polly/Rahayu. They missed the gold medal in this event for the second consecutive Olympic Games. Although it missed the gold medal, the “Fan Dust Combination” helped the Chinese badminton team return to the Olympic Women’s Doubles final after a lapse of 9 years, which is an improvement compared to the previous one. Especially in the process of promotion, they eliminated the champions Yuki Fukushima/Ayaka Hirota who had high hopes from the host.
In the men’s singles duel at the finale, the Rio Olympic champion Chen Long, who was given high hopes, and Denmark’s Ansailong staged the 20th “Double Dragon Meeting”. In the end, Chen Long was completely out of the state and lost to Ansai Long 0-2 and missed the Olympic men’s singles defending. The Rio cycle reached its peak. Chen Long insisted on playing to Tokyo for five years. After all, at the age of 32, he only played as the sixth seed. It is not really a favorite to win the championship. After the Rio Olympics reached the peak, he was all over Tokyo. The performance of the Olympic cycle was slightly sluggish. Unexpectedly, in the Tokyo arena, Chen Long became more and more courageous. Although it was a bit regretful to win the silver medal in the end, as Lin Dan’s junior, he had 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in the Olympics, and twice at the World Championships. To win the championship, Chen Long has done well enough to be able to go away in style.

Men’s Singles: Silver (Chen Long)
Women’s Singles: Gold Medal (Chen Yufei)
Men’s Doubles: Silver (Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen)
