The final rankings of the badminton points competition for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games were released on Tuesday (April 30). The Singapore Badminton Association confirmed that my country’s top men’s and women’s singles players Luo Jianyou and Yang Jiamin have boarded the Olympic train. Next, they will work hard to improve their seeding positions.
This is Luo Jianyou and Yang Jiamin’s second Olympic appearance since the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Both players were eliminated in the group stage in Eastern Olympics.
According to the rules, the Paris Olympics points cycle will last from May 1, 2023 to April 28, 2024. During this period, players must strive for points to improve their Olympic points ranking. In the end, the Badminton World Federation will determine the list based on the Olympic points ranking list on April 30.
In response to Lianhe Zaobao’s inquiry, the Chinese Badminton Association said: “Jianyou and Jiamin have confirmed their qualifications for some time. Their Olympic rankings are currently 12th and 14th respectively, and there will be opportunities to improve their Olympic rankings in the next few weeks. The seed rankings will be announced on July 9th.”
my country’s number one mixed doubles pair Xu Yongkai/Chen Weihan is ranked 18th. Although they cannot pass the points ranking to become one of the shortlisted pairs, they are currently the first alternate and still have a chance to get on the Olympic train. It depends on the announcement of the Badminton World Federation later.
The next competition for Xu Yongkai/Chen Weihan will be the Singapore Open (Super 750) held next month. Luo Jianyou and Yang Jiamin will first participate in the Thailand Open (Super 500), which will start on May 14. They hope to improve their Olympic rankings and participate as seeds.
Currently, a total of 15 athletes from Singapore have qualified for the Olympics. In addition to Luo Jianyou and Yang Jiamin, there are also Sandy (athletics), Zhu Peijia (equestrian), Amita and Keliya (fencing), Mo Shilian and Lu Junhan (sailing). ), Kitty Chan (kayak), Sai Ida (rowing) and five swimmers Tan Yong Jin, Sim En Yi, Sim Entong, Ke Tingwen and Ke Jingwen.
