The 28th World Badminton Championships ended in Denmark early on the 28th Beijing time, with the Chinese team winning 1 gold, 1 silver, and 4 bronze medals. The women's doubles duo Chen Chenchen/Jia Yifan successfully defended their title, becoming the first combination to achieve three consecutive championships and four championships. But outside of the "mortal" combination, Guoyu's overall performance is average. Especially in the mixed doubles final, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong lost and failed to achieve a quadruple championship. In addition, in this event, the pattern of the world badminton arena also showed a trend of change, and new champions were born in many events.
"For the sixth time participating in the World Championships, I yearned more and more, and my fighting spirit became higher and higher every stop." After the women's doubles final, the "mortal" group admitted that they always had a strong desire to win.
In this final, the "Fan Chen" team faced the 11th seed and Indonesian pair Lahayu/Siti, who made it to the final for the first time this season. They almost did not give the opponent a lead throughout the game and swept to victory with a score of 21-16 and 21-12. The two became the first women's doubles duo in the history of the World Championships to achieve three consecutive championships, win a total of four championships, and win all three gold medals in the same Olympic cycle. When it comes to the Paris Olympics, Jia Yifan bluntly stated that as they grow older, the two will face more difficulties. "I hope to do my best as much as my body allows," he said
In the mixed doubles final, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong lost to fifth seeded Xu Chengzai/Cai Youding with a score of 17-21, 21-10, and 18-21, failing to become the first mixed doubles pair to achieve a four crown World Championships achievement. This is the first time the two of them have failed to reach the final of the World Championships, and it is also the first time they have suffered a defeat against the South Korean pair in 10 matches.
At this World Championships, the three pairs of mixed doubles participants from Guoyu ranked in the top eight in the world. Among them, newcomers Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin, who participated in the competition for the first time, advanced to the quarterfinals and lost to the "IELTS" group to win a bronze medal. The third seeded pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping were eliminated early. The advantage of the group army did not ultimately turn into a gold medal.
In other singles, Guoyu participated at full capacity: despite poor signing luck, the women's singles won a bronze medal, and Chen Yufei returned to the semifinals to fight against "New Demon King" An Xiying in vain. Meanwhile, Ma Lin, who returned to the peak, broke the monopoly of the "Four Giants"; The men's singles are the only single event that has no medals recorded; The men's doubles team returned to the World Championships and received a bronze medal in fierce competition from the first-time "00s" duo Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang. In addition, Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian lost in the women's doubles semi-final derby and won a bronze medal.
Looking at the world badminton scene, new champions have emerged in all events except the women's doubles. The new queen of women's singles, An Xiying, is unstoppable, and almost all of her entries this season have reached the finals, winning the eighth championship; In the men's singles final, there was a "post-00s" showdown, with Kunla Wute defeating Nara Oka and achieving great success; Xu Chengzai achieved the double crown in men's doubles and mixed doubles, helping the South Korean team become the biggest winner of this tournament. The Indonesian pair of Juya in women's doubles also won three consecutive matches against the Japanese and Korean pairs during the promotion process, breaking the situation where the project was divided into three parts.
