Recently, the good news came from the national feather, the Tokyo Olympic games men's singles bronze medalist, the national feather men's singles champion Chen Long ended more than 5 months of vacation, officially returned to the national feather, opened the retraining mode, prepared for the new season of the event, the goal is directly to the second half of the Hangzhou Asian Games. For the current national feather, the men's singles is facing a relatively large problem, Shi Yuqi because of the impact of injury, has temporarily left the national team, returned to the provincial team, only Lu Guangzu and young players support, strength and status and the world's high level there is a certain gap, and Chen Long's return, is undoubtedly a big good, to boost the morale of the team.
Chen Long, who is already 33 years old, has achieved a breakthrough in the Rio Olympic Games, winning the men's singles gold medal, plus he has won the gold medal at the World Championships twice before, and has completed the great success of the Grand Slam. In the Tokyo Olympic Games, his state has been up and down, and even once rumored that he might not be able to compete for the Olympic roster, but then with the retirement of Lin Dan, Chen Long's state recovered and he joined hands with Shi Yuqi to compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games. In the case of not being optimistic, Chen Long passed the barrier and reached the final again, but unfortunately, because of a foot injury, he regretted that he was unable to defeat the Danish brother Acelon and had no chance to defend his title, but the silver medal was still precious to Chen Long.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Long participated in the competition for the National Games non-stop, and in the team competition, he won the championship with the team as he wished, but in the individual competition, he withdrew from the semi-finals due to injury, and competed in the National Games five times, and finally failed to realize the dream of the men's singles championship of the National Games. For Chen Long, another regret in his career is that he failed to reach the top of the Asian Games men's singles, so he did not announce his retirement after the National Games, but looked at the Hangzhou Asian Games, but because of his continuous training competitions and the debt to his family, he applied for an indefinite leave, and the world ranking was also protected, still ranking sixth.
After more than 5 months of vacation, Chen Long spent most of his time with his family and children, and the long-lost joy of heaven made Chen Long more sunny and cheerful, often interacting with everyone on social media, so that fans could see the other side of Chen Long. Now, after the establishment of the Lantern Festival, he has returned to the guoyu training base in Chengdu Shuangliu, met with the large troops, and officially opened the recovery training mode. As Chen Long said, the new Olympic cycle has begun, and the national men's singles team has indeed encountered some difficulties, so he hopes to play a leading role in leading the old with the new. Although Chen Long's goal is the Hangzhou Asian Games, it is not ruled out that he will make a comeback in previous important events, such as the Thomas Cup in May, as a brother in the men's singles, and launch another attack on the championship.
