Xi’an News Network reported on September 16, a sad scene was staged in the badminton semi-finals of the 14th National Games. Olympic champion Chen Long first stopped the men’s singles final 0:2, and then withdrew from the competition for three or four places due to injury. In the closely watched mixed doubles semi-finals, Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong defeated their opponents in the finals and will repeat the exciting moments of the Tokyo Olympic finals.
The lack of a gold medal in Men’s Singles at the National Games has always been a pain for Chen Long. As a veteran of the National Games for five times, he has not only failed to win the men’s singles championship, but he has not even advanced to the finals. This has also become his failure to achieve. The professional regret of the Grand Slam.
In the National Games, Chen Long, regardless of physical illness, led the Fujian team to “overcome obstacles”, all the way to the finals and won the men’s team gold medal. However, this good state did not continue to the men’s singles semifinals.
In the semi-finals against Jiangsu Shi Yuqi on the morning of September 16, Chen Long was out of state and lost 11:21 in the first game.
In fact, Chen Long and Shi Yuqi have always met their opponents, winning and losing each other. Chen Long has rich experience and a stable competitive state. Shi Yuqi is young and has good physical fitness and strong impact. Both sides have their own advantages. At this year’s Tokyo Olympics, the two represented Guoyu in the men’s singles competition. Shi Yuqi lost to Ansailong 0:2 and stopped in the quarter-finals. Chen Long reached the final 0:2 lost to Ansailong and won the silver medal. Chen Long won the overall result. First, however, the 14th National Games has become the “last straw” that overwhelmed the Olympic champion.
In the second game, Shi Yuqi’s fast attack was more precise and sharp. He frequently used near-net lobs and diagonal fights to control the game. Chen Long’s state did not improve, and his running was obviously inferior to his opponent. In the game, he scored 6:15. Behind, Chen Long eventually lost 9:21. Before the three or four finals held that night, Chen Long announced his retirement due to injury, which made a lot of “dragon fans” sigh. In another men’s singles semi-final, Lu Guangzu of Jiangsu team performed strongly, sweeping Sun Feixiang of Hubei team 2:0, Shi Yuqi will compete with Lu Guangzu for the championship.
In the women’s singles semi-finals, Shinco Olympic champion Chen Yufei played normally and went straight to two games. With a total score of 2:0, he won the Hubei teenager Wang Zhiyi and advanced to the women’s singles final. In another women’s singles semi-final, He Bingjiao of Jiangsu team defeated Tan Ning of Fujian team in two straight games. Chen Yufei will compete with Tan Ning for the championship.
In the men’s and women’s doubles semifinals, the Zhejiang men’s doubles combination Wang Chang/Zhou Haodong and the United women’s doubles Jia Yifan/Chen Qingchen entered the finals respectively.
Of particular concern is that in the mixed doubles semifinals, Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong swept their opponents 2:0 and easily advanced to the meeting finals, reappearing the wonderful scene of the Tokyo Olympics. The two sides played against each other again. Who can laugh to the last, this peak? The duel is worth looking forward to.
