Original title: National featherweight generals are looking for a feeling at the Paris Olympic venues
Beijing Daily (Reporter Wang Xiaoxiao) Yesterday, Beijing time, the second round of the French Badminton Open started in Paris. Since this competition is held at the badminton competition venue of this year’s Olympic Games, the badminton players also regard it as an excellent opportunity to prepare for the Olympics and adapt to the venue.
The French Open originally started in October every year, but this year it was moved to March as an Olympic test event. Most of the main players in the national feather team will compete in this tournament after more than a month of rest. Mixed doubles world No. 1 Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong swept through the first round. The two bluntly expressed their hope to “win this tournament well and give the Paris Olympics a good start.”
Chen Yufei, the defending Olympic and French women’s singles champion, also said after the first round that she was still adapting. She couldn’t see the ball clearly at the beginning. “Fortunately, after winning, I will have more opportunities to adapt.”
Wind direction is the most important factor that badminton venues need to adapt to. Young mixed doubles pair Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin and women’s doubles newcomers Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning both said that this venue has “a little bit of headwinds”, but the impact is not big.
Men’s singles star Li Shifeng said the venue has a good atmosphere and hopes he can “go forward bravely” here during the Olympics. Men’s singles star Shi Yuqi also said, “I hope to perform at a 100% level here during the Olympics.”
