The Chinese badminton team has made history by becoming the only team to secure full participation in all badminton events at the Paris Olympics. This achievement was solidified when Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi secured the last men’s doubles spot at the Asian Championships, making it a clean sweep for the Chinese team.
The battle for the last men’s doubles spot was intense, with the competition full of ups and downs. Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi faced tough opponents and had to fight hard to secure their place. Despite almost being eliminated in the first round and facing a challenging match in the second round, they persevered and ultimately emerged victorious.
Their teammates, He Jiting and Ren Xiangyu, unfortunately had to withdraw due to injury, leaving Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi as the only contenders for the spot. The quarter-finals proved to be a fateful moment, as Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi faced off against Malaysian players and narrowly lost the game.
However, luck was on their side as their competitors, Li Yang and Wang Qilin, also fell short in their match, securing the final men’s doubles spot for Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi. With this achievement, the Chinese badminton team has secured full participation in all five badminton events at the Paris Olympics.
This success highlights the improvement in the overall strength of the national team and raises expectations for their performance in Paris. Liu Yuchen expressed gratitude for the support they received and shared their excitement for the upcoming Olympics. The Chinese team’s full participation serves as a testament to their bravery, resilience, and determination in overcoming challenges to reach their goals.
