Summary of Badminton Events at the Hangzhou Asian Games

The badminton event of the Asian Games came to an end on the 7th, and the Chinese team won a total of 9 medals, including 4 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze, ranking first on the medal table. Compared to five years ago in Jakarta, the number of gold medals and medals has increased. Among them, the men's team made a strong comeback and won the championship. In the men's singles final, the Chinese team staged an "intra team competition", and the Chinese men's team delivered a good score in this competition.

The competition between China and South Korea in multiple events of this year's Olympics is expected to continue until the 2024 Paris Olympics; However, the Japanese badminton team failed to win the gold medal and gradually fell behind in the race against the top two. In addition, India has also performed well, while Indonesia, a traditional strong team without home advantage, has achieved nothing in this game.

With a large number of troops and soldiers, China showcases its overall advantage in home battles

The four gold medals of the Chinese team come from the men's team, men's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. In the men's team final against India, in the unfavorable situation where Shi Yuqi and Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang lost two points first, Li Shifeng, who had not conceded a point in the previous two rounds, withstood tremendous pressure and sounded the horn of the national badminton men's team's counterattack. This 23-year-old general, along with Liu Yuchen, Ou Xuanyi, and Weng Hongyang who later competed, helped the Chinese men's team perform a stunning comeback with a score of three 2:0.

Li Shifeng, who made great achievements in team competitions, continued his strong performance in individual events, continuously defeating top-notch opponents he had never defeated before. In the final, he faced China's number one men's singles player Shi Yuqi, who was gradually improving, showing a better competitive temperament and winning his second gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Although Shi Yuqi lacked excitement in the final, he also defended his own half, making the men's singles final the only "team final" on the badminton field.

The Chinese team has an ace combination in both women's doubles and mixed doubles. Although their performance has fluctuated recently, at the Asian Games held at their doorstep, Chen Chenchen/Jia Yifan and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong still won these two gold medals.

The Chinese team in the women's singles event received one silver and one bronze. Although Chen Yufei, who made it to the finals, has made significant progress compared to the previous quarter finals, she still lacks confidence in facing South Korean star An See young. In addition, both pairs of Chinese men's doubles failed to reach the semifinals, making it the only event in China that did not receive a medal at this tournament. Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang's poor performance was due to Wang Chang's fever and illness, while Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi lost to the Malaysian combination due to frequent errors in their proactive attacks.

Women are strong, men are weak, and progress is rapid. South Korea has become its main rival

Whether it is the Asian Games or various international badminton events this year, South Korea has become the main opponent of Chinese badminton teams in Asia and even the world. The South Korean team won 2 gold, 2 silver, and 3 bronze medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games, closely following China's results. Two of the gold medals were contributed by world number one women's singles champion An Xiying.
