Olympic champions such as Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping also defeated their opponents smoothly. Speaking of the feelings after the game, the Tokyo Olympics badminton mixed doubles champion Wang Yilyu said that after returning from the Tokyo Olympics, he has conducted isolation and recovery training, and his body feels more exhausted. Fortunately, the atmosphere of the 14th National Games is better, especially at the game site. Many people cheered on and boosted their confidence in defeating their opponents.
At 8:48 p.m., Chen Long, who was the last to play, received warm cheers from fans after his appearance, which shows the personal charm of this fifth Olympic champion who participated in the National Games. For Chen Long, if he wins the National Games gold medal this time and unlocks the Grand Slam achievement, he will become the second men’s singles athlete after Lin Dan to complete this achievement.

In the second game, Chen Long demonstrated the strength of the Olympic champion, constantly using techniques such as jump kills and near-net punting to force his opponents to make constant mistakes, and finally won the game with a big score of 21:9.
After the game, Chen Long was moved by the enthusiasm of the fans on site, and kept applauding and thanking them, and gave the fans a big like before leaving the field. The fans on the scene gave a warm response.
After the game, Chen Long said that the state of backwardness in the first game is the current state, and he has been adjusting his state through the game, hoping that he will not have too much baggage and play a normal level.
