Original title: Badminton World Championships | Top 8 are born!Guoyu is still expected to win gold in all 5 individual events, the No. 4 seed in mixed doubles is the most unexpected
In the early morning of August 25th, Beijing time, the 2023 Badminton World Championships held in Copenhagen, Denmark ended all the competition for the 1/8 finals. The Chinese badminton team still maintains the possibility of competing for the championship in all five individual events, which means that as of now, there are Chinese players in the top eight of all individual events. Specifically speaking, there is only one national feather in the men’s singles, and two (pairs) of the other national feathers have entered the quarter-finals. In the 1/8 finals, two women’s national feather singles were eliminated, and one (pair) was eliminated in all other categories. The most regrettable thing was the mixed doubles No. 4 seed Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping. The two did not perform well, and regrettably stopped in the top 16 .
In the men’s singles, it is Shi Yuqi, the only one who is still moving forward. In the 1/8 finals against Wu Jialang from Hong Kong, China, after the first two rounds were tied, Shi Yuqi scored 3 points in a row and beat his opponent with a thrilling score of 2 to 2 1 Successfully advanced to the quarterfinals and became the solo seedling of the national feather men. Li Shifeng, another national badminton player who entered the top 16, lost 0-2 against Chinese Taipei’s Wang Ziwei. After eliminating Lu Guangzu, Wang Ziwei defeated athletes from the Mainland Badminton Association for two consecutive games.
Guoyu lost two players in the women’s singles competition. He Bingjiao lost 1-2 in the civil war with Wang Zhiyi, while Han Yue was eliminated by Indonesian player Mariska 1-2. Chen Yufei played steadily and defeated the host player Mia 2-0, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. In the next round, Chen Yufei will face Wang Zhiyi, and the Chinese Derby will be staged again. In this way, at least one Chinese athlete will enter the women’s singles semi-finals, but at the same time it is a pity that only one national feather player will enter the women’s singles semi-finals.
The most unexpected of the three doubles competitions was the defeat of fourth seeds Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping in the mixed doubles. When the two lost the first game against Matias/Bol of Denmark, they reversed the lead in the middle of the second game. They had great hopes of winning this game and then winning the game with momentum. But it is a pity that Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping lost their minds amid the cheers of the audience. In the second round, they were led 17-12 by their opponents, and finally lost 0-2. Feng Yanzhe, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, was still a little young and inexperienced. Both of them were not strong enough in attack and psychologically strong enough. Fortunately, the other two pairs of mixed doubles Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
Guoyu women’s doubles also has two pairs that entered the quarterfinals. The top seeds Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan swept two consecutive games and advanced easily, and the No. 6 seeds Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu also easily passed two rounds. The only women’s doubles combination that was eliminated was Liu Xuanxuan/Li Wenmei, who lost to Japanese players Fukushima Yuki/Hirota Saika in the 1/8 finals.
There are still two pairs of Guoyu in the men’s doubles that can stay and continue to fight. No. 3 seeds Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang and No. 6 seeds Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi advanced after defeating their respective opponents in the 1/8 finals. The other two pairs, He Jiting/Zhou Haodong fell in the third round, and Ren Xiangyu/Tan Qiang were eliminated in the second round.
