Refresh the 11-year-old record! Guoyu finally realizes his dream + reproduces his peak feat
As the French Badminton Open comes to an end, the Chinese badminton team has once again gained a lot! After winning 4 gold medals at the Denmark Open, the Chinese badminton team won 3 gold medals and 1 silver medal at the French Open. Achievements in succession, fans left messages to express congratulations! With the announcement of the latest world rankings, the Chinese team broke the 11-year-old historical record, attracting heated discussion and attention from fans and the media. More than ten official media issued articles praising it!
In the latest world rankings, Denmark's Viktor Axelsen ranks first in men's singles, Li Shifeng rose two places to third in the world, and Shi Yuqi ranked seventh; in women's singles, the top four are An Xiying, Akane Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei, Dai Ziying. He Bingjiao ranked sixth and Han Yue ranked eighth; in mixed doubles, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong ranked first, Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping ranked third; in women's doubles, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan ranked first, Zhang Shu Xian and Zheng Yu ranked seventh; in men's doubles, Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang ranked first, and Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi ranked eighth.
China's three doubles teams ranked first in the world at the same time. Such a feat happened 11 years ago.
The world number one men's doubles team at that time was the Chinese pair Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng. Their combination was the men's doubles champion at the 2012 London Olympics and an unprecedented four-time men's doubles world championship. Compared with Cai Yun, Fu Haifeng has made greater achievements in his career. He is a main member of the 6-time Sudirman Cup champion and the main member of the 5-time Thomas Cup champion. After Cai Yun retired due to injury, he joined hands with Zhang Nan to board the Rio Olympic Games. The Olympic championship podium. Fu Haifeng is also the first player in badminton history to defend the men's doubles Olympic title.
Women's doubles players Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang ranked first in the world in 2012. Yu Yang partnered with Du Jing to win the Olympic championship in 2008. But it was later that he partnered with Wang Xiaoli that truly launched his invincible career. Unfortunately, the 2012 London Olympics group stage was disqualified due to match-fixing. Wang Xiaoli retired soon. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Yu Yang and Tang Yuanting played together and only finished fourth. Wang Xiaoli has never won an Olympic championship, so he is considered the uncrowned king!
The combination of Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei also ranked first in the world in 2012. At the London Olympics, the combination of Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei defeated the combination of Xu Chen and Ma Jin 2-0 to reach the top spot. Unfortunately, due to a love triangle, the pair won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics despite being ranked number one in the world. However, Zhang Nan and Fu Haifeng won the men's doubles championship at the Rio Olympics.
After 11 years, China's three doubles pairs have reached the top, which has also started the model of competing for gold medals in the Paris Olympics! I look forward to them continuing to create the glory of Chinese badminton!
