National badminton simulation Olympic competition in actual combat (theme)

The French Badminton Open is fiercely competing in Paris. The more important significance of this competition is the badminton test event of the Paris Olympic Games. The badminton events of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be held from July 27 to August 5 at the Adidas Arena, where the French Badminton Open will be held. Standing in the Olympic venues is a very valuable opportunity to experience in advance for the athletes who will be able to stand on the Olympic stage in more than four months. Guoyu also experienced the atmosphere of the Olympic venues in actual combat, adapted to the Olympic venues, and simulated Olympic competitions.
The Adidas Arena, the venue for the French Open, is located in northern Paris and is designed to host the badminton and rhythmic gymnastics events of the Paris Olympic Games and the para-badminton and weightlifting events of the Paris Paralympic Games. It is also the only new venue built in the capital for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with 8,000 seats. “It’s so big!” This is the first feeling given to many national badminton players by the venue.
Similar to many European venues, the Adidas Stadium also presents a stage-like stadium design. The main color of the stadium is a dark blue tone. During the game, the entire audience’s attention can be more focused on the competition venue.
Although I have been to France many times and participated in many French Opens, this experience is very special for the national badminton team. Mixed doubles top seeds Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong successfully advanced to the top 16 and entered the Olympics more than four months in advance. The “IELTS” combination also cherishes it, “This venue has a small version of ‘All England’, including lighting, venue layout, etc.” aspects.” After the first game of the French Open, Zheng Siwei admitted that the venue still has wind direction, and every venue is different, and he is still adapting.
“Time flies so fast!” Huang Dongping, the mixed doubles champion of the Tokyo Olympics, sighed while standing at the Adidas Stadium. It was less than three years since she won the last Tokyo Olympics, and now she is standing at the Olympic venue again. “It feels like this venue is relatively big, and I’m still getting used to it.” Huang Dongping and Feng Yanzhe also reached the top 16 of the French Open Mixed Doubles.
As Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, who are ranked number one in the world in women’s doubles, it is not difficult for the “Fanchen” combination to participate in the Paris Olympics for the second time together. But on the way to Paris, they also need to face many difficulties, just like they encountered a tough battle in the first round of this Open, and finally won the opponent with difficulty. Standing in the Adidas Stadium and trying their best to play every game is their goal, whether it is now or more than four months later. “Post-2000” men’s singles player Li Shifeng stood in an Olympic venue for the first time, giving him more expectations for the Olympics. He admitted that competing in the Paris Olympic venues made him feel very atmospheric. Regarding his Olympic debut more than four months later this year, Li Shifeng hopes that he can “move forward bravely” in this venue.
The one-year Olympic points competition will end at the end of April. For some national badminton players who have not yet locked in Olympic qualifications, standing in the Olympic venues gives them more motivation. Men’s doubles pair Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi currently ranks seventh in Olympic points and has not yet secured Olympic qualification. Standing at the Olympic venue, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi were both excited and nervous. They also expected to see themselves in this venue again in more than four months. Therefore, in the next few Olympic points competitions over the next month or so, they will try their best in every competition.
