Although Shi Yuqi performed mediocre at the Tokyo Olympics, he has been in good shape at the current National Games. In today’s game, he had a clear advantage on the court, easily defeating Chen Long with a disparity of 21 to 11 and 21 to 9.
Chen Long has won all world championships including the Olympic Games and World Championships, but he has never won the gold medal at the National Games. The 32-year-old may not be able to hold on to the next National Games. He has not won the gold medal at the National Games, which may become the biggest regret of Chen Long’s career.
“Congratulations to Shi Yuqi, he played very well. It is no regrets to lose to the younger and better Shi Yuqi. I hope Shi Yuqi can play his own level in the finals and win the championship.” Chen Long said frankly after the game. More than ten days, the time is a bit long, but the competition system is fair to every athlete, and the timing of the competition is very reasonable, but it will be a bit difficult for me and my recovery will not be so good.

Chen Long currently has no plans to retire immediately. He said: “Recovering training is of course very hard, but I think that as long as the ambitions are still there, there should be no problem. There are still three years in the Paris Olympics. There is a question mark (whether it is possible to participate) and prepare for the Asian Games next year. “(Xinmin Evening News reporter Wang Zhiling)
